Well, just why we are on topic:

Your God would allow someone to be born, raised and die under the faith of another religion, of which the standard of evidence is exactly the same as your own, with no reasoning that can possibly be applied to make one religion more valid than any other, only to sentence them to an eternity of suffering for not being born into the right religion!

That is why i think your God is a bastard, amongst many other reasons.
I know you guys were just joking around and I didn't mean to jump in. Don't think I was offended, if anything I was just fishing for some conversation to keep me awake. However ...

Religion is a man-made construct based on something imperceptable and thus is falible to human standards. I feel all religions are equally in-valid. An eternity of suffering could be as simple as the nothingness prescribed by many people's beliefs here. If cold is the absence of heat. If light is the absence of dark then hell could be right here where we make it, it could be nothing or it could be the absence of God's love (in whichever form you get it).

So what god do you believe in. Tell us a bit about him, give us an idea of what you think god is.

In ther Bible belt the way to heaven is "turn right and go straight."

That would be putting it badly, it's more accurate to say recycled.

So where does love, life, morality, Jesus and the afterlife fit into your photon emitting energy-ball god idea?

Is it just me or is "worshipping a giant photon emitting energy-ball god" just a fancy way of saying that you worship the sun?

But the sun is not outside our universe as tackattack puts it.

RE: There is more than one way to heaven.
I get that, but it is just one step away from explaining stars as a physical manifestation of tackattack's transcendental ball of energy. There is no way to know the truth about anything outside of the universe so we can only guess. Any description of god is really just a description of our internal model of god. Tacky got the idea about god from something and I would say that something was the sun, ergo his god hearkens back to sun worship. After all, we can see the sun and also the many positive and negative effects of the sun.
