Many people chose to not accept the truth. Cold, hard reality is not comforting.

RE: Atheism is like baldness, not colorblindness!
The notion that atheism or jesusim is a choice is performative language. The people who say it know otherwise, but it buttresses arguments about the personal responsibility of faith and thus absolves their silly god of his culpability for torturing people who cannot help but be themselves.

This, like so much of contemporary jesusism, is refreshing. Even the jesusists seem to be aware that their god concept is full on soup sandwich. They would not accept a god that is and does what they claim their god to be, and be doing.
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!

Grandfather was a drinker, beat his son, son grows up to be a drinker and a beater.
Isn't this the type of generational vicious cycle with which religion propagates Dunno

To hear magic book tell it, it's exactly the relationship that we have with god. He was a shit dad who, through his actions, produced shit children. Shit children which he promises to beat, who in turn... turn their backs on him as he becomes a doddering fool. Used to destroy cities and flood the world, real big dick energy. Now he wanders around asking people who they think he is... and appears on toast.

The whole bit is a massive bundle of common human neurosis, which might be why it's appealed to us for so long.

A modern-day Thomas Aquinas, eh?  Hehe J/K, this is apt a description as I have seen anywhere.
