If I may just take your Yahweh as an example; the characteristic of your deity is so contradictory and repulsive that no amount of reasoning will harmonize it with modern ideas of justice, purity, and morality. Yet, apologists like you continue to defend this character. A person of intelligence will definitely not defend this evil, imperfect concept.
As Thomas Jefferson rightly said:
Quote:Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
