Nor you...provided that he marry the poor little girl..or capture her in glorious battle against his enemies.
Frankly.......the only person that might go to hell in this is a little girl who... for some reason...... dies doubting that god is great after all.

That's par for the course.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Believers commonly express their faith in ways that mask the inherent and objective immorality of their beliefs. Whether this is to assure themselves or others I have no clue..but see no reason to choose between the two options.
That you do so, however, tells me that it's not ignorance. You know how shitty it sounds...but if you say the wrong words, you won't get the popsicles and ponies. You'll be tortured, after a life of suffering, and who wants that, amiright?

Theism is a perversion of justice

What is good act?
You can't divorce an act, from love, and you can divorce love, from faith in value, and if you don't value what ought to be valued the most, but value things less than that, yes your actions will be worthless.
Not saying you are that state.
I believe now most Atheists here are here mainly because they are looking to see God, to have God proven. When God's proof and light is by which all things are to be known and proven, when his judgment of things defines their value and reality, when all actions are determined by his assessment and measurement and numbering, when all beauty is created through the images he himself creates of our souls by a standard objective......
When God is so manifest, yet hidden, hidden yet manifest...the cure lies in you and God has chosen and obligated through justice, he doesn't guide the unjust people, yet we are to spread and inspire mercy, and changing our injustice to a just sincere state of love of God.
God knows how to dispell all falsehood and the evil magic on the hearts, the false idol and legion of oppressors that reign humanity.
I am not even dust compared to the Prophet he sealed the revelations with, let alone, to God.
I am just saying, give religions all a shot. Give a Quran a rehearse and perhaps everything will click?
All I can say the arguments I have about God I find them more eloquently manifested in Quran. The moral argument for example is stated in many verses, but multilayered in a way that not only proves God, but proves his oneness, not only proves his oneness, but proves a guide from him and connecting link, not only proves that, but proves revelation connecting and guiding to all high stages, not only does that, but proves a message extending to all intellects and levels of understadning, bringing auhtority of God down to everyone.... and thereby a means to unite humanity on the truth and not only does that but shows a clarity exactly of what it is, at each sky, and clarifies all things.

Oh, is that why we're here? You believe many strange things.
In any case;
If he want's to, but doesn't know how, then he is not god.
If he knows how, but doesn;t want to..then he is evil.
If he wants to and knows how...then why haven;t the falsehoods and evil magic been dispelled?
Wait, wait, is it worth it?

I never expected 18 pages based on the OP woo.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

That's par for the course.
It's called reading your book...

Wiser words were never spoken.
