Gods forgiveness is worthless.

You mean to tell me that you atheists would accept such rules as reasonable? Whatever the restitution, you guys would just bitch that it really doesn't make up for the lost nut.

Nice dodge of the question, John.

Slaves of Yahweh have fucked themselves over by making God out to be 'perfect'. We expect God's rules to be perfect, and yet they are, almost to the last, nothing more than examples of the most primitive and brutal forms of human justice. There is no subtlety or fairness, no regard for context. They are so flawed that only the most insane modern Christians even attempt to hold to them.

We accept imperfect rules and laws in the real world because we accept that they are formulated by imperfect people. We do not expect perfection from them.

What would have made the entire Yahweh fairy tale much easier to accept would have been to craft his character as powerful but imperfect, willing to experiment and learn, wanting to better himself. God would actually make sense then. It would be easy to understand the concept that we were 'made in his image'. Even if no atheist would believe in such a God, I think a lot of us would find it much easier to live with those who chose to follow it.

It shouldn't matter in any case. God could just replace the lost nut, since you allege that his abilities are in no way limited, but chooses not to. The responsibility ultimately lies on him.
