That being whom you know doesn't exist sure does have your panties all up in a wad.
No, Dear, he does not. But I certainly do feel sad when people believe in such an awful abuser, are enslaved actually, and make up all kinds of excuses for it. When critical thinking is thrown by the wayside and potential is lost. When I see people promoting such, I feel the need to speak up about it. Sometimes it is by pointing out the brutality in this 'god of love' that people open their eyes and see it for what it is: A brutal concept created by a brutal culture by today's standards. Or perhaps you would rather I didn't comment on the subject. A good atheist is a silent one?
I think it is quite valid when I watch people rewrite this god into whatever they want it to be to point that out. It is a discussion board, afterall. I'm sure there are places where such notions can be discussed unchallenged. This god is still doing a lot of damage and will continue to do so as long as people refuse to break it down. Others come here truly seeking to form an opinion, and it is only right that they should see the many understandings of this issue. Or did you just want to be able to share your own view and lead them in your way?
And lastly, do not concern yourself with my panties. Concern yourself with your own habit of picking and choosing and rewriting.
