You're jumping to false conclusion now.
I don't condemn anyone for having spiritual beliefs.
I argue against the Abrahamic picture of God based entirely on what those fables claim.
My argument there is that the fables are simply far to contradicting to be true.
It's simple, IMHO.
The fables claim to be about a supposedly all-wise, all-benevolent God,
yet the entire way through the whole cannon they have this God behaving like a hateful moron,
and being grossly inconsistent with respect to the character traits that he's supposed to have.
That's why I hold that it can't be true.
No all-wise, all-benevolent, consistent God could be that screwed up.
It's just not possible for a supposedly "all-wise" God to be that stupid.
I don't argue that a personified God could not exist.
Hell's bells even scientists are proposing the possible existence parallel universes.
I'm mean there is increasing support from the scientific community (even if only in esoteric theories)
for places where a personified God could potentially hide out, including hiding an entire heaven, and/or hell.
So I can't argue against it on those grounds.
If the Christians would suddenly confess that their God is stupid, hateful and schizophrenic,
I would no longer have a valid argument of why he couldn't exist.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
