If Only The Romans

[Thumpalumpacus]

What I'm trying to say is that we all have received the death sentence from God, not just the Amalekites.

Suppose for a moment that you committed an offense, say, felony burglary, carrying a sentence of three to five years in the state pen. Would you consider it just for the state to try, and sentence, your son, even though the state already had you sentenced? What if the state decided that as part of your punishment, you had to stand and watch as they threw him off of a cliff. You got to hear his cries and know that he was being killed despite not having committed any crime, and despite the accused not having committed a capital crime.

Your god does that. Your god inflicts his sentence on toddlers with leukemia, on fetuses with hydroencephaly (even as his worshipers talk about the right to life!), on humans who are blameless except for the fact that your god created them so that he could kill them -- even if they live their lives exactly as he prescribed. He was uunhappy with his own creations, so instead of using his almighty power to better them even as they lived, he killed them all but seven -- and then demanded blood sacrifice when they hadn't improved despite his inaction. Your god has killed every human who has ever lived, according to your own theology.

This is why I consider your god a monster.
