Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

Your view of modern Christianity is still very skewed. Don't kill unjustly, love thy neighbor, don't lie, steal or cheat, obey the laws of mankind, etc.. I still can't see how you can honestly hold your view that modern Christians follow immoral rules. Anyways back to point.

Secular law already has much better versions of those same rules. For instance, murdering a neighbouring tribe for having a different religion is no longer considered just. There is no law demanding that you unecessarily feel a particular emotion about your neighbours, replaced by much better, more detailed rules keeping your actions fair and just, eg, laws against them blasting music in the middle of the night.

The rain in the scenario is just what happens without God. Imagine in avast nothingness there is only one light. You can be in the light or in the cold. Secondly the hell of the Bible was actually intended for a place for the fallen angels, not intended to be our place of damnation. It just happens to be all that's left if we're not in his light.

Bullshit. The bible does not say anything like the above. It specifically says that hell is a real thing, not an absence of things. God actively sends people there, not for nothingness (he could have left them peacefully dead for that), but for torment, gnashing of teeth, and suphuric pits of fire. It's also not very good to just say that it's ok, since he's only torturing angels, not us. That's like saying it's ok, Hitler's only killing those other people, not us. Hey, why did an entire third of the angels decide that god is too fucked up to stay with? They left the remaining .666 behind to stay with god. What's up with that?

Thirdly, each in faith according to their portion. If you're truly honestly unbiasly looking at a belief in God and don't see the evidence then it's not unreasonable that you don't believe at all.

Even the believers don't see any real evidence. That's why they use a combination of faith (believing something without any evidence) and making the facts fit, like when reading horoscopes and seeing ways that it applies to you personally. Anyone can do that with anything. All one has to do is be convinced that the bible/horoscope is telling you the truth.

@ KichigaiNeko.....
I have read it. I'm not going any further than that.

@SN-Actually it does say just that [hide]Matthew 25:40-41 (King James Version)
40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:[.hide]
It's actually quite clear that those who live a charitable, nurturing and loving compassionate life will be seated on his right and will inherit the kingdom, those that live selfishly shall "go away into everlasting punishment".

Even in this context you can read easily that it's a banishment from his presence, and from Jesus' teachings it's obviously not preferred that we live this way.

As far as the .666 - I didn't know you were a conspiracy theorist... there's a club here on AF for that.

You can contend that there's no "real" evidence all you like. Some people do see real evidence, you're entitled to your materialistic world view. You make a good point about rationalization. That also boils down to truly admitting who you are and why you are that way. I can see why you think that a collection of deterministic molecules that form me rationalizes. I might say the same thing about the intellectualizing of atheists, if I thought it were true. I'm comfortable acknowledging that a lot of atheists really don't have any underlying daddy issues, or were all raped by priests when younger. I also acknowledge that it's obvious some do, and that's their only deterministic motivations. I allow that some people can actually think for themselves and come to their own conclusion rationally, logically and intellectually.
