How about you address the reasons why it's in any way moral or acceptable for your god (if he did exist) to murder humans in droves, which he has allegedly done throughout scripture and promises to do again? Oh, and they all went to hell...but he loved them? Bullshit. Your imaginary friend doesn't even love you; he just loves being worshipped by you. How masochistic does a person have to be to pick an imaginary friend like Jehovah?

Your right, God does not love everyone. The bible never claimes that He does. Matter of fact it says the oppsite. That there are those in whom God hates. Couple that with the number of parables Jesus told about seperating His followers from those who follow evil, their can be no doubt that 'we' are not all His Children.

That said, who among us can Judge, label and kill (unless directed by God) someone looking to harm God's children? That is why 'we' can not kill one another without permission.

With man, our deeds have intrinsic value. meaning the deeds we do themselves are what are judged. With God the actions taken are not ascribed any 'moralistic' value in of themselves. What gives a given deed a 'moral value' is what God's intentions are.
