Unfortunately in most of human history claimants of all sorts of fictional sky parent claims do believe in the absurdities they sell. Humans more often than not prefer a comforting lie over harsh reality.

That is not something of which to be proud. What you are basically stating is that you would be a willing psychopathic murderer without a belief in God, or someone just as equally horrible.
You can be a worthy human being without a belief in God. You have simply deluded yourself into thinking otherwise.

How sick is it especially with kids, to sell them the idea that they are by default trash. It really saddens me that adults also buy into this.

@Thackerie: Firstly, great to see a post from you. If it's any consolation, your posts are still probably ten times more rational than our resident theists (except JacobSmooth because he gets it). Secondly, it is a distinct possibility that this guy is exactly what you propose: a Poe. The unfortunate truth is that we will probably never know that for certain, so the best anyone can do with this guy Rev is to continue to ask him to back up his claims.

Even the most Sophisticated Theologians can delivery nothing of substance.
A handle full of deepities and logical fallacies prevail.
Theologians are failed philosophers. Theology is the colon of philosophy where bad ideas go to fester and stink.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
