Seems so, since we havent seen this god or any of it;s servants.  Just the odd raving loon and their own ego.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The truth is that Hitler exploited Christian hate toward Jews and majority of clergy did work for him while some (minority) refused and were sent to camps. But like I said majority of priests were loyal to him and even telling people during the mass that it is not a sin to kill a jew that is older than 6 years of age.

Now this kind of distortment that you're trying to push that Hitler was not for "real" Jesus and how Hitler persecuted Church really comes to the fact that Vatican helped Nazis after WW2 to escape to Latin America. There is no denying it and there was no excuse for them to do it because they weren't under Nazis threat (something that they like to use as an excuse for corroborating with Nazis). As if they were thanking Nazis for what they have done.

And it's still not over. Elements of antisemitism and overall bigotry in Christianity that made Fascism possible still lives. Like Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, still gives antisemitic statements like "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular." and nobody even flinches let alone fires him.

Not to mention some actual Christian preachers today





I mean I would love if you were right or at least that Christian bigotry and hate is thing of the past but it's not and denying it is not good for anyone.
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"

Wow.  Just... wow.  Is that really how you see the world, Drich -- A never-ending parade of evil creatures?

I see things a bit differently.  I see plenty of good and beauty in the world.  Yes, there is evil out there.  No, it isn't everywhere. It isn't even most
places
.  What a weird concept.

My prayer for you is that you live under those in whom you morn for. you want to know real oppression you want to be consumed by the angel hybrids then so be it.

Y'know, Drich, it would be entirely too easy for me to suggest you get psychiatric help, or to indulge in payback by imagining you and your loved ones in some dreadful situation. Emergency surgery, tornado, fired from your job, that kind of thing.

I can do better than that.  A lot better.

I think you should just wake up some random morning and discover that your faith has been replaced by a quiet and peaceful emptiness, for no apparent reason.  Still reeling from the strangeness of it all, you give your head a shake, take a deep breath, and realize you feel better than ever.  And then you get on with the rest of your life, glad to be free of the delusions that poisoned your view of reality.

You do realize, I hope, that it is entirely possible to threaten one person with the acts of another, much like Rob's sniper example. You pass on the threat of hell in your gawd's name all the fucking time GC. At least be man enough to own it.

I can't own something I do not have. With God I can't even earn what I do not have, it's given by grace, thankfully.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Cowardice -and- craven threats.  Another fine example christian moral character.

What is a spiritual being, I wonder?

I expect it's going to involve a lot of telling us what it's not, so as to hide it from all detection. Is there something positive that can be said about these things, that would help us distinguish them from nothing at all?
