Fuckin' Alex, I'm rollin'.

Please explain, in 80 000 words or less, why the God of Abraham is such a complete and total wanker.

But . . . Why?

Why use 5 minutes of your life to insult something you don't think exists? I'm not judging or anything. I'm just curious

Below is a serious video addressing this issue. Of course, this particular thread is satirical, poking fun quite possible just for fun's sake. But it does reinforce the point that religion is so god damn easy to mock. It's so easy it's not funny. And it shouldn't be. Check this out anyhow.

No I get that. And I can't watch videos on my phone or it'll take forever. But I just don't get the point. It's easy to make fun of anything if you look at it from an outsiders point of view. I find many things to be ridiculous. But I don't go around making fun of them

You don't have to go around making fun of it, luckily they'll come right to your door.

Because it's fun.

Well that says something doesn't it?

You'll get used to it, we rip the piss out of religion all the time. Partly it's just fun, partly to highlight stupid things about it. Educational comedy, if you will.

That's not helpful. Atheism is logical, but anti-theism is an emotional stance, and often pretty juvenile. Try this:

The God of the Old Testament often commits atrocities, acts of barbarism and cruelty. Consider 2 Kings 2:23-24:

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Mauling children for making fun of someone? Elisha called down a curse on some kids - isn't he the greater sinner? He used the power of God to kill children because .... well, because he was vain about being bald. That doesn't even begin to make sense. It's not a parable, it's a threat. What's up with that?
