LISTEN, CHRISTIANS!

[Bob Kelso]

It's simple, so I understand why you wouldn't get it: if we see that god exists, that alone is not a reason to accept him as our lord and superior.

You've gotten one thing right...it IS simple. A being who created the universe out of nothing and to who you owe your whole existence, IS reason alone to accept him as your "lord and superior" (the two are synonymous). Add to that, the fact that he was willing to take on human form and suffer horribly, so that he could adopt you as a son and sit with him in his throne, is even more reason to accept him as your (lord and superior).

Are you saying that you never considered your parents as your superior? How are they somehow more worthy of being your superior than God?

The authority that you grant him is not some automatic assumption that's going to pop into our head the moment we're given sufficient evidence of existence. No, that authority will be conferred based on consideration of his actions, goals and beliefs, and if we're to take the bible as an accurate representation of these, then we simply cannot allow god that authority over our lives based on our consciences. It would be wrong, according to my, and the others', morals to do so.

Authority is not in your power to grant God. Either he has authority / power or he doesn't, regardless of his "actions, goals and beliefs".

If a guy walks up to you points a gun in your face and asks for your wallet.... he's the one with the authority because he has power over life and death. The smart move would be to give him the wallet, because if you don't he'll just shoot you in the face and take it anyway.

So whether or not you believe God is "good" or "evil" is irrelevant. As the scripture says

so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:10

Your only choice is where you bend the knee, heaven or hell... either way, you WILL acknowledge God as superior.

See, it's a bottom up process, ascertaining what role this god plays in reality, and to us personally: existence, then attributes, then the nature of our relationship going forward. You can't assume the latter two stages without the first, and all three stages require due consideration and may, in fact, produce conclusions that differ from your own. You seem to be blaming us for not, as you have done, operating backwards, by deciding on the relationship first, cooking the books so that the attributes are consistent with that relationship, and then just assuming existence.

The above shows why your reasoning is flawed.

You're a twisted fuck, Huggy, and I can honestly say that I despise you more than any other creationist I've ever interacted with, but I have to give credit where it's due. Your little criminal analogy is just spot on. Your god is just like a criminal with a gun to your head. 

"Love me or burn motherfucker."

Good on you to worship such a steaming pile of dogshit.
