Just like the people here who hate God play a role. their's is to become the obstacles that test and try the faith full they become the storms of life that help proof and sharpen the faith of those who believe.

I can't hate something that does not really exist. I can deny the belief that a god is real.
If I/we are playing a role and you believe your second sentence to be correct then you should be grateful that I/we exist and you should stop trying to convert us or tell us that we are wrong. You have now made your presence/posts here a fallacy.
that's a lie.

about 1/2 the country hates trump for being a totalitarian dictator who's racist and sexist policies are bring the country to it's knees...
Now while yes trump is a person (but that is not what is hated) his title as a dictator makes people hate him. when in truth Trump does not exist as a dictator as he is a duly elected president who will either go one for another 4 years at the end of his term or relinquish power at the end of his term depending on how the election goes. Yet trump is so hated for being something he is not, there are murmurings of civil war if he is reelected.
Now i know you want to hide behind logical fallacy here, but in truth the same thing was said about lincoln when the democrats succeeded from the union after his election. again for the same sort of reason. in that lincoln was built up to be a monster or represent a whole party of right crushing monsters and the country divided and fought a civil war because people hated something that did not exist.
That said you may feel you are neutral here, but those who share your religious title are not. just open you eyes to some of what has been said about God and his followers.

That's my opinion, and not a lie.
Have you gone off the rails? What the hell does your idiocy have to do with Trump?
hehehe religious title. That's your claim, not mine.
What's been said has been a criticism of what the religious have made of their god fantasy and their resultant actions and statements.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Oh my goodness, I should hope that if God were real, it wouldn't be as bad as his hype-men make it out to be.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

The reason it's written that way is because the idea that it's selling is that a person must be loyal regardless of the situation. A careful analysis of the various stories reveal that is basically what they are all about. That one of the reasons they performed circumcisions. It locked in the males in the cult before they even knew that they were alive. It's also why a lot of criminal gangs force their members to get all tattooed up. Once they are marked it becomes impossible for the members to leave the gang. It's forced loyalty to the end.

If god were real, he'd be a narcissist.
And an asshole. His own book shows how assholish he is to his own people.

The biblical God character was simply the series of men and priests who ruled the various dominate Middle Eastern empires in ancient times. Sometimes the God was the Egyptian pharaoh. Other times it was the Hittite, Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, or Persian emperor. The head priests put the spin on the fairy tale.
The biblical God character bit the dust for good with the collapse of the Babylonian empire around 530 BC and the death of its emperor. He's not coming back. They tried to resurrect him with the Greeks but it didn't work out.

Hey, cut the crap Drich. You don't have to pretend like you don't know how is it not to take some deity for granted. Why, you yourself don't believe in Allah and Jinns. You're not angry at Allah and Jinns you just think it's all silly and that's what it's like to atheists with Yahweh and Uriel and Lucifer and Rudolf The Rednose Reindeer.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm pretty sure I hate tRump as misogynistic, veteran-hating, racist, bigoted person he is.

Up here in New York we hated Trump long before he became "dictator." I promise you that ain't the reason.

You're right, the writings of men who knew there were other gods.
Although, maybe it only meant, when god interviews someone to see if they will be let into heaven, they mustn't bring an effigy of the god they worship?
