I completely agree. Although I also extend that view to include volcano gods.
Quote:I have explored panthiesm, and it fails to me in that, a real God must be infinite in nature (in order to be God)
Why?
Quote:and so a an infinite being swallows up an finite number of gods. If there are an infinite amount of Gods, thats the same as an infinite God.
Why?
Quote:I don't see how the Big Bang is any different or less supernatural of a beginning that God speaking matter and time into existence.
It's the same difference that separates Niels Bohr and Gandalf the Grey
Quote:About imagining a God who is wholly evil, how does that work? If there really was a God that is behind all this that is wholly evil, would the world look the way it does? How would you define love? It slipped by the evil God while he was tying his shoes?
How about this: The Almighty One created the universe and all life within to be His personal playground, filled with a self replenishing supply of potential victims to torture, mutilate and generally fuck with. He created us in His own image, that we might emulate His nature and inflict His abominable will upon each other. He gave us rules that we might break them. He gave us guilt that we might torture ourselves and He made us love so that we feel loss all the more. Diseases were created to plague us. He then created religions and set them against each another, all so that we might kill, maim, torture, persecute and oppress one another, while dedicating our lives to the worship of the Great Infernal One; billions of souls, crying out in a sycophantic exaltation of a God that doesn't love you and a world that doesn't care.
Now tell how that differs from reality.

Genesis 15:16 Wrote:"But in the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full"
Moses was 6 generations removed from Abraham, not 4. Moses didn't even make it back.
Welcome to atheism.
