This is the second time I ask. Why did you adopt it?

Seems like a mistake...right?   Who didn't know it was a snake before they picked it up?
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. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. 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!

Three virtually identical posts and no attempt to interact with the respondents.
Now where have we seen this before?

I feel like God is a being who ignores the suffering of people.

Mods/admin how about a limit on the number of posts a 'newbie' can make in an intro thread. I mean he/she appears to have an inordinate fondness for discussing this as yet unspecified god character.
How about this thread be moved to... religion?
That way we can answer his questions and give them the respect they are due without the treat of the swishy stick.

I also feel that this god is someone who alternates being between good and mean and abusive, like an abuser.  It is very difficult dealing with a being like this.

You know, you REALLY shouldn't call yourself an atheist.

You've been reading to many die AtheistIn threads.
