How can a feeble puny being be able to wrong a mighty one like God? That would be such a highly sensitive God if he truly existed.
Yeah, I've often wondered about how the Abrahamic god created hundreds of billions of galaxies but gets upset when people pray in the wrong direction, eat non-Kosher food, don't believe the right things about why someone died 2000 years ago, or make love to someone with similar body parts. Dawkins had it right when he said religion creates petty gods.
Two bacteria cells are hanging out in a cultivate petri dish. One says to the other, "let me tell you about my personal relationship with the Great Lab Coat in the sky". That's the kind of scale we're talking about here.
IF God takes a personal interest and judges us at all, God is far more likely to be upset with religious leaders who've done so much damage and inflicted so much pain.
He is upset with religious leaders who cause damage and inflict pain. Why do think he wouldn't be? The reason that we can offend him is because we are so important to him. We're more important than those hundreds of billions of galaxies. We're the best of his creation.
