The capital "G" monotheistic God/s of Abraham are a flat out myth and scientifically absurd and those books are immoral.
NOW to all the big three reading this, it sounds mean. But when I make that statement I am addressing it like a book or movie review, it is NOT a judgment on human rights.
I cannot find any claim of a deity who is absolute final power moral, that is the definition of a dictator. That morality alone is enough for me to reject such an idea. AS AN IDEA.
But all claims of God/god/entities/super natural, are broken concepts and are mere reflections of our evolutionary anthropomorphism of projecting our human desires on the world around us. They are merely our imagination.
I see no point saying "there might be" when the graveyard of the gods keeps getting filled over and over and the once unknown becomes known in the natural sense.
I don't like this well intended bone atheists throw to placate even the generic types of believers.
Once you get it in your head that there "might be" a brain that thinks that has no brain you are postulating a naked assertion. EVEN to the generic types what would be so frightening about life if you found out this was it?
It frightens me more what humans do to use politics and weapons to kill for their superstitions. I cant live in fear of nature, I cant do a damned thing about aging and eventually dying. I cant do anything about the weather or meteors.
But if I can bitch slap as Hitchens put it "The parties of god" into at least being civil, if it takes pissing them off to get peace, damned right I want to offend them.
When Islam and Jews and Christians can get to the same level of death Harry Potter causes, THAT would impress me.
