This.
Above all, I value honesty and I actually find Drich's honest expression of the moral bankruptcy of Christianity and their god to be preferable to the stream of bullshit you get from more sophisticated apologists.
I've had this discussion with Drich several times, and although honesty is an exemplary thing, it's only a mechanism to take any action he wishes and commit any moral atrocity that floats upon his whimsy. True, maybe he'll never rape a slave girl, but this ability to make anything horrible into a moral and ethical action allows him to be a prick to every person he meets throughout his life.
It's gotta be nice to know that god will justify ANYTHING you say or do. After all, the rules of the Old Testament don't apply anymore .... well, that is ... until they do.
