You are absolutely SHAMEFUL, all of you. ALL OF YOU.
I'm ashamed for you.
I'm ashamed of you.
I'm ashamed that I even have had to endure this line of thinking that your CULT has been spewing at me since before I could say my Rrr's.
You are utterly and completely without morals. I can't even stand the sight of you anymore, you make me sick.
Job well done
All just a side affect of assigning good to God. Once you do that then any law or action from him is good by definition and you never have to question it again.
Worst case scenario for the religious is to have to come up with explanations are to why something appears to be so obviously vile and yet is part of the good God. The default is usually - it will all be made right in heaven.
The astonishing part is that followers of one religion can see this in another but not in their own. I am yet to find a Christian that will defend 9/11, for example yet within weeks you find Christian arguments saying something to the effect of "Christian Martyrs died for their beliefs - therefore there must be something to it."
