The idea that your god wouldn't practice mass or general punishment is belied by the point I made in my previous post. You worship a god who (to hear you tell it) dooms every human to death because of one woman's actions.
If any human were to behave in such a manner, you'd rightly condemn them as being unjust; and I would agree with you. But you carve out an exception for your god.
Tell me, do you consider morality to be absolute or relative, objective or subjective?

I will write as if he's real only to smooth out the prose. Adding "accepting that your god exists only for the sake of argument" is cumbersome and makes for dreary reading, which directly attacks the thrust of polemics.
I don't doubt that many other atheists write in the same manner for the same reason, literary convenience.

If you came into my house insisting I eat your food, no matter how distasteful I find it, I'd tell you to go hammer sand up your ass. And shamelessly, at that.
