    Which religion?

    Sorry, your ass and head are not separable.

    Care to answer?

    Is there a point at which god is so heinous that even you won't worship him?

    Do you have any standards at all or will you worship god no matter what?

    Does what your god has done bother you at all?

    I understand that just fine.

    I'm neither an avid atheist nor do I believe any parts of the bible.

    However this is not about me.

    I want to know if you ever draw the line in your belief of your god?

    Since you mention the xtian bible, that god (of jews, xtians and muslims) is particularly horrific in his actions.

    Planetcide, genocide, rape, murder, torture and murder of innocents, he really does a lot of really, really nasty stuff. Or since you are a conservative, socialized medicine, welfare, and support of taxation.

    Care to answer?

    Use your understanding of what is good and what is not.

    I'm not asking "people," I'm asking you...

    They will resist any attempt to attack or remove those beliefs beyond reason. There's no almost to it.

    After catching up & getting thru all the absurd lame attempts at justification of homophobia :
    Obviously, the above is true for other beliefs also.

    probably because there crap would stain the carpet in your lounge room

    because there are primary and secondary principles in scripture .... much like there are "ideas" and "details" in any discourse that deals with society (aka ethics).

    If you want some nice easy material for satire, just go for the details

    well the OP mentioned, every religion, so it will become apparent if you are judging a genre by its worst examples


    yes sure

    much like a conclusion ....
    (such as "Every religion to my knowledge that has a god, has god doing horrific things.")

    ..... is connected to the introductory preamble
    excellent topic

    Perhaps a good place to start would be philosophy since well over 70% of all philosophers have some sort of transcendental/theistic foundation.

    what bothers me is when persons make assertions about religion bereft of philosophical merit.

    It doesn't matter whether they are atheistic or theistic

    Only if you are set on including the worst examples.

    I'm actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You only need to answer in terms of your religion(s) and your god(s).

    If you are willing to exclude other religions and gods as false, that's fine with me.

    Instead of whining, offer up counter examples.

    Well, one thing is sure: If you think your body is eventually yours, if you think your thoughts are eventually yours, if you think your possessions are eventually yours - then pretty much any act or quality of God will seem heinous in some way or another.

    It's amazing how you can ask certain questions and never get a straight answer.

    You can talk about god in a general sense and still maintain the discussion - IOW calling upon the spanish inquisition as a reliable yardstick for christianity or the current political conundrum surrounding islam at the moment probably won't cut the mustard

    meh

    Fideism isn't famous for its accommodation of henological discussion, is it?
