Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that?

  I’m not sure if the metaphor of you anthropomorphizing an inanimate object is the best one to criticize the projection of one’s own desires and wills onto a fantasy deity.

  I’m not criticising.

  People are welcome to follow a religion if they want to.

  I know that I can no more disprove the existence of a god than prove the existence of one. I know that anybody doing something bad in the name of a god is either lying or being coerced.

      I appreciate it might be hyperbole, but you’re advocating causing actual harm to people who find comfort in religion. Honestly, that sounds more psychotic.

      I’m taking a guess here, based on your spelling (all those 'z’s) that you’re American. It’s probably worth me pointing out that the US has some pretty grotesque implementations of many religions, particularly Christianity - but they are a poor reflection of religion in general.

      I’m not overly religious (didn’t even go to Church on Christmas!), but know a lot of good people are. If they find praying, attending services or reading the literature helps them get through life, I won’t argue against it.

      This still sounds like violent conversion therapy. What an aweful, merciless god you make of yourself.

        Projecting your mental illness on me doesn’t change the fact that you’re mentally ill

        Get right with the world, and realize that your brain is broken and that supernatural magic isn’t real.

        Unless you can prove it? Of course you can’t. Because you’re mentally ill and magic isn’t real. Get therapy. Better yet, get institutionalized for the rest of your life so your mental illness doesn’t spread.
