I will say that one of the most distasteful teachings for me is the idea of praising, thanking, worshiping, god EVERY day for all eternity. What kind of ego needs that? Like if I ever saved a person's life I would say buy me a bottle of scotch and we'll call it even. Probably one of the beliefs that caused me to never buy in 100% as much as I tried at times.
Even if everything about the "truth" was all true...........

Agreed, something they will never even think about (jws). The idea of "love me or else" but they too practice it in a way. My family has done the most detestable things to me these last two weeks for only expressing the need to think rational and they tool what I said all the way to me preaching atheism. Because for me to think different than them is the greatest insult. You insult our God. You insult us. Same proud bull $hit -

Perhaps the root of what you are saying is that the worshipers of the Bible deity/God, are far, far more moral, wise, kind and compassionate than the repugnant idea of "God" to which they pay homage.
We have eyes, but can not see.
Forgive us for we know not what we do.

Agreed pontoon. We create gods in our own image. I was raised in the religion so I knew about the need to appease important people - at least they thought they were important LOL. So for quite a while it seemed natural that god was the same.
It's funny but now, to my mind, the more people believe a god should be bowed down to and kept happy with worship the more they act like apes with the instinct to keep that great big 'silverback' happy. After all he could kill you.

Who'd want to live forever in a so called 'paradise' built on the blood, bones and broken dreams of eight billion holocaust victims?
No thanks.
