In my opinion, a deity capable of breathing in entire universes would have many things on its mind than building such things as hell or heaven for humans. I say we are way too low on the spiritual totem pole for such a deity to have any interest in us at all. It seems to me hyper arrogant for humans to think a deity capable of making universes would have any interest at all in anything human, much less putting us on such a moral pedestal that it would have to have the ultimate punishment of a hell to punish those who refuse to be its sycophants.
And of course I am ready for the onslaught of bible verses 'proving' otherwise and pulling the 'so you think you know the mind of god' card.
Other than the bible, what gives christians or any other religion the idea that a deity would be interested in mere humans? As if we are the kings of creation?

-Removed-How do I hate thee, (theism) let me count the ways. Lets see. Original sin. Right, croc of shyte #1.
The Crusades. #2.
Cherry picking the bible #3 (you now don't have to kill your children if they dis you, which is in Leviticus)
Forced conversions #4, which happens in a number of religions including your precious Christianity.
Wars started with the excuse of religion #5.
A deity making tests for mankind it knows in advance which way the test goes so no need for the test #6.
Making up the nonsense of hell, like humans are so far up the evolutionary ladder we deserve the attention of a deity, #7.
Making up the false promise of a heaven, however the theists word it, in a lot of religions, #7.
Setting up a system that forces women to a lower status then men #8.
"I am a jealous god" another croc of shyte #9
Boko Haram killing innocent school children BECAUSE they are in school. #10. All in the name of Allah. Bullshyte, all in the name of the fact they are frigging sociopathic animals with no sense of remorse or anything else vaguely human.
In other words, the atrocities committed to people in the name of some religious mandate.
A god who makes humans then abandoning them, allowing all sorts of atrocities, hundreds of millions of innocent people killed in many wars, allowing, or more precisely, not giving a crap that children can get cancer, as a for instance. #11.
The hierarchical nature of all modern religions, "I am the prophet, I speak for god so do what I say, I am the messenger" Bullshyte #12. A deity can speak to all of us in our own language and lay out the rules. Humans telling me about gods. priceless BS.
The only reason it is hierarchical in the first place is because ALL religions are made by men with no input of a deity needed. Men are creative and we have the millions of religious documents already written to prove it. Men are not, however (according to theists) anywhere NEAR smart enough to have written all that bible BS all by themselves, therefore THERE IS A GOD AND IT HELPED OUT WiTH THE WRITING.
Sure. And I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.
That is just for starters.

1. respond to his post.
2. insult him and anyone who thinks like him.
3. avoid actually answering any of his questions.
He clearly hit a nerve.

Originally posted by josephwAnd you clearly did not answer any of my reasons for hating theism. It certainly does not have anything to do with the fear of death. That is the MO of theists. You all live in a background of fear your entire lives.
I simply posted my opinion of the OP.
Clearly hit a nerve with you.
