In fact God is what we'd call in our world an asshole. People who believe in God justify this by saying no but he is also loving (so long as you never question belief in him/her/it)..why would any intelligent being think God was anything more then a means of control that we gave all the worst attributes of humanity ..theology for the most part is reckless because its spouted by humans who are flawed..they justify their human flaws by saying but God said it therefor it must be true. We will attack anyone who differs in opinion.

If there does turn out to be a God and I am wrong. I am sure my sketpic nature will be more welcomed then the people in this article. In fact if there is indeed a God (which I don't believe there is one but I am talking hypothetically) I am sure he is so disgusted by most of the people who claim to be believers in God for turning him/her/it such a mundane petty asshole and undermining the 'fab-ness' of God. If there is a God he/she/it certainly is a bigger and better entity then we can possibly conceive of. I say this because the one(s) we have conceived of (and this applies to the all major world religions) is an asshole

Hmmm... as the "Church Lady" would say... "Well, isn't that special?"

Anyhoo.. yeah, I think there are some concepts of God that are sort of like an abusive husband.

"I love you. I love you without conditions. But if you don't accept my love, I'll set you on fire."

Ahem... anyway...
