Gods don’t kill people.

People with gods kill people.

If your god wants you to kill, it’s defective. Get rid of it.

Magical sky daddies are a creation of the delusional... because it can all be summed up by the following statement.

My magical sky daddy is the only true magical sky daddy, every other magical sky daddy is wrong and doesn't exist... even those that believe in the same magical sky daddy as me but interpret my interpretation of what MY magical sky daddy 'must' have actually meant... slightly differently... and so that makes them evil and they won't get in to my magical sky daddies special garden.

@dgar
In other words, religion.

@dgar @GreenSkyOverMe And that's why we need Klingons.

In this timeline, only dead gods are the good ones.

@dgar

That being said, I know a lot of people who don't even need any god for this.

@katzenberger @dgar i'm sympathetic to the idea that people always have a 'god' of some type or another, some grand cause or ultimate end, than can justify anything, maybe not everyone but take the Nu Athiests, they still reveal western civilization / liberal democracy or whatever
@dgar I don't know... Poseidon seemed pretty upset this week

@dgar
The nominally atheist Soviet Union killed millions.

But then it could be argued that the state was their "god".

But then it could be argued that everybody has some sort of "god".

Zeus: Hold my thunderbolt.

@dgar So do people without gods.
@dgar well actually, gods are just manifestations of groups of people thinking they are special because they have THAT god. They then use that as a justification to kill others who do not have the same god. But there are other ways of getting to think you are special. Interestingly, there is a reasonable suspicion that Jews, Christians and Arabs all believe that their unique god is the same as the unique god of the other lot.
