Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – lies about love, mercy and pain

oy. In a couple of hours, I’m stuck going to a annual meeting for the organization I work for. Whee, two days of board meetings and tedium. At least I should get a couple of good meals out of it.

(memes and images below, btw)

It’s notable how christains must lie about how their god suposedly “loves” everyone. This poor imaginary creature can’t even manage to come up to the half-decent definition of love in the bible itself (1 Corinthians 13, if you are curious).

Kate tries to make excuses for her imagnary friend here.

This is my response:

ROFL. You have no idea what mercy is, Kate. It isn’t harming people to get them to worship you. That’s what Lewis claims his god does.

““Let me implore the reader to try to believe, if only for the moment, that God, who made these deserving people, may really be right when He thinks that their modest prosperity and the happiness of their children are not enough to make them blessed: that all this must fall from them in the end, and that if they have not learned to know Him they will be wretched. And therefore He troubles them, warning them in advance of an insufficiency that one day they will have to discover.”

You claim your god is about mercy when you have a god that cursed all humanity for the actions of two. You have a god that murders people, including children, for the actions of others. You have a god that personally requests little girls be enslaved and that he gets his share.

All cults claim that the “greatest good” is their cult aka their god. That doesn’t make your cult’s lies true.

Indeed, *If God is truly the source of life and joy*. In that you can’t show your god merely exists, much less that it is what you claim, you have nothing. Allowing people to exist without damning them to eternal torture is loving. Being such a petty creature that you must torture people for daring not to agree with you isn’t love, it’s narcissim and neediness.

Your god is manipulating and no matter how you try to lie that is the case. If it needs to force people to come to it, then it is no more than a bad boyfriend. And yep, you admit that this god need to hurt people to draw people to it.

If I said a human did this, do you think that would be a good thing or not, Kate? If you think it wouldn’t be good, you show your morals are entirely subjective, changing depending on who/what something is. If you give your god a pass when you would not give the same pass to a human, your morals are no more than might equals right.

That you must claim your god knows better than ourselves shows that yet again your cult is based on control, not love. If your god gave us independence, why does it make using it a “sin”? That seems to be no more than a trap.
