"That's a nice eternal soul youse got there.  It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Essentially, the jewish god/Jesus is like a mafia man.
He comes into your store offers protection. He demands 500$ a month.
He calls himself the savior. Save me from what? Death. This world?
He created this world.

Imagine if I suspend you over a lake of molten iron. I tell you that I am going to save you but only if you pay me.
Am I really saving you?
I'm the one who put you over the lake of molten iron in the first place.
I'm also extorting you, forcing you to obey my every command.
