This God guy sounds like a real asshole.
Thanks for your useful contribution. A lot of people sound that way till we get to know them better. And perhaps you’re getting to know God through someone else’s interpretation.
That’s what I would say, and I’m sure what joe meant. If God exists, he/she/it is not an asshole by definition. But the God that many people choose to believe in sure seems like an asshole about certain things.
Fair enough. But most atheists hate God, hate the belief in him, hate religion, and chalk it all up to hate, in their own hypocritical, hate-filled generalization. And that’s what his comments came off as to me. God is quite loving. We humans are at fault.
