If they say I'm immoral, and ask why I'm not out doing all kinds of evil stuff, I can ask them why they think they're better than me when they need a carrot or a stick to get them to do stuff. I am ignoring the promise of heaven, and the threat of hell, yet I'm NOT going around hurting people because of a difference of beliefs.
GC sometimes tells me I don't read enough of the bible, but I'm just taking things at face value. I don't assume that something must be happening behind the scenes to exonerate their deity of wrongdoings. If the best their god can do for society is something slightly more progressive than contemporary culture at best, then he's not worthy of worship. There have been people throughout history that have been more progressive than mainstream, and have done good for societies. I don't worship them either.
