Quote:What you are basically saying is that people are puppets in god's hands, and that he can do to them whatever he wants, and they just have to accept it.Pretty much, although the Biblical analogy is usually clay in a potter's hands.
Quote:I think this the character "god", if described in this way, is one of the most repulsive characters ever invented, and I don't see why a rational, sensitive person would worship him if he believed he existed.That's your shortcoming. I can understand why you don't worship him.
