No wonder it's frustrating. You've all been rambling on in this thread about how terrible the God is who you don't believes exists.
It is not a real god we are railing against, it is your bad use of logic that falsely leads you to the conclusion that this god exists and is moral.
We have to argue this myth because believers act on these beliefs and vote and have weapons.
Tell us why you are not afraid of Muslims threats of hell? You are not afraid of their hell and rightfully so. But you would be concerned if those followers acted out in violence or made laws that oppressed you.
We no more believe in your God or your Satan than you believe that Lex Luther is real and can use Kriptionite to kill Superman. But you would be rightfully concerned if an adult in real life went around claiming Lex Luther was real.
Now here is a list of arguments many of us here have run into with a variety of religions and not just you or your god claim or your book.
LIST OF FALLACIOUS ARGUMENTS..
1 Quoting a book to prove a book........is known as "circular reasoning" all religions do this.
2. Appeal to authority.......If you lived in ancient Rome by proxy of the Caesar's belief it would mandate that he is right because he holds power.
3. Appeal to tradition....If that worked then the Ancient Egyptians would have been right because they believed in their polytheistic gods for 3,000 years.
4.Appeal to popularity.....If that worked then we should all be Muslims because Islam has the most members.
Now again mind you, we do not simply pick on your religion alone. We do because in the west that is what we run into the most. But we take on all sorts of polytheistic god claims, monotheistic, and even new age woo.
I apply the same skepticism to all religions.
