I don't have to scapegoat anyone to feel or show love GC (or forgiveness CRod), this seems a strange route to go for a god who is (at least presumably) less limited than myself as far as options when it comes to love (or forgiveness). Sounds like a "my magic isn't magic" comment. Well, over-ruled, it is magic. Are you as incapable of explaining it as CRod has been?
Gods scapegoating is forgiveness is love is morality? Let's just be honest, it's anything you want to call it whenever it suits whatever purpose you're leveraging it for, isn't it? Garbage, I'll pass.
You can not forgive as God does, you will never forget the bad things that others have done to you, that would and you have not provided a way to eternal life, your magic fails, period. Just because you can not understand God's way doesn't mean it's not true and the only way. Passing on God's forgiveness, love and morality is a dangerous thing to do.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
