Rescind all ideas about god to avoid all god complexes and you're back to neutral. Being a big fat nothing, god is neither good nor bad. For the life of me I can't understand why so often people blame something that isn't there...or if there is, has nothing to do with any scriptural entity but simply exists as a process which imposes no morality on anything or anyone.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:17 pmIf we both go down, then we go down as martyrs in the face of an unjust god. However, I can't for the life of me believe that Yahweh is the one and only true God. My faith is that God is good, not some psychopath who wants to punish the innocent and deals in fear.Harbal wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:08 pmWell he isn't the only one with a duty.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 3:39 pm AJ is probably too busy trying to "repress" you. Apparently, he thinks it's his duty to do so.
For many, god must exist in order to blame it for everything which is about as puerile as believing the only path to heaven is through Jesus.
