Why is belief in a higher power required?
RE: Why is belief in a higher power required?
How self-righteous is one who thinks of his own, personal interpretation of a book with a million different working interpretations, is in any way objectively more accurate than someone else's?

If anything, we're the only ones who can actually be honest about what Scripture says, because it makes God look like a bloodthirsty and barely literate savage if one simply reads it as it is written (and why wouldn't God be like that, when dangerous tyrants commanded the most fear?), and since we're going to hell anyway, we don't have to interpret it in the obviously self-interested fashion all of you do.

Unify your own interpretations before you lecture us on how to do it.
