If you want, we can talk about why I think Yahweh is a finite god who lies in claiming to be an omnimax creator of the universe. But on another thread--this one is too good to be hijacked into a discussion of a misunderstanding of my beliefs that is suprisingly rare. |

I go with Allah on this one as being the most wicked---------(same God though, which does confuse things somewhat.)
But just for the sake of argument.------will separate. Allah is still actively killing or ordering the killing of innocents. Christianity gave that up a couple hundred years ago. Damned glad it did. What Islam needs is a good dose of capitalist self interest to modify itself acceptably. When everyone looks out for #1--- then the world is a much more tolerant place. When we are all self interested bastards --then how can we say that we are essentially better bastards than anyone else? (Except for material things of course). |

God isn't a human being killing another human for one. God does it lawfully, since He is the Creator of the Universe, and the ultimate Judge. And God doesn't kill with malice. Let me ask you again. If its not acceptable for God to judge and execute people, why is it acceptable for the military to kill the enemy and get applauded, or the government to execute a criminal? God holds infinitely more authority than both the government and the military. |

Case in point: I posted here before you joined up, so it is impossible for ALL of my posts to be sarcastic and directed at you. |
