But when these same people are offered a choice between their favorite depravity or God, they chose to continue sinning rather than repent. As such they are not sent to Hell, but go there by choice.
I have to admit that I sometimes harbor the same dislike for the Christian god as I do for Joffrey from Game of Thrones.
I think that Joffrey is an evil bastard and I actually look forward to watching him die at some point.
So - how can I look forward to watching someone die if I'm against the death penalty?
It's because I can differentiate between what is real and what is fiction.
Both the Christian god and Jeoffrey fall in "fiction", but that doesn't mean that I am not allowed to rail against the (fictional) evil they commit.
Any spelling mistakes are due to my godlessness!
