It's ..not a stereotype, Drich. This shits real to you guys. You truly believe god has "got your back" and yet many millions of starving orphans who have never had the pleasure of sinning, starve to death or shit themselves till they die or cough till they take their last breath. As I said, my dad believes that demons are in the wind and are trying to kill him. Fundies of all sorts remark how gods wrath is in natural disasters, and blame large populaces of people (even calling for their death based on what your Bible says about it). History over has shown people with your mentality to do atrocious things based on this superstition thate you have engrained in your thought processes ; Look up what happened as a result of religious superstition during the Black Death, the Crusades, or the the Inquisition. Throw in sorrow and a little fear, and your 'brotherly love' and self delusion turns into the most unspeakable horrors done by man under the name of god. So I'm sorry if I'm not all, "god be with you!" and shit.

You can't have both, Drich. Not here. You can either be the bad guy to everyone, which must get tiring--or you can be a decent human being with beliefs that differ from our own. Quite frankly, I think you're funny and I'd like to get to know the real you; not this character you've invented online. I'm sure others feel the same way too.
Not with malice, but in such away as to promote a discussion like this.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
