I guess you were just one of those very special ones that god picked.
You are not that sanguine about me now from my posts in the forum, but if you knew me before the encounter you would NEVER think that I was one of the "special ones" God selected!!!

From the available evidence within this material Reality, there is little to encourage you to think so except a personal encounter, IMO! It is quite a disturbing conundrum from my perspective having had the encounter and recognizing exactly how personal and caring God is! Our real status as Spirit Beings is what confounds the issues, IMO.
you have to remember mystic ... that walking around a city and passing churches is a far better set of observations than yours. It clearly must be past lives and shows that your process in thinking is flawed. I mean how could anyone not know that your god isn't true with that set of observation in tow?
How can anybody just side with a person that thinks like that? And not think that kind of thinking isn't going to hurt somebody?
Yeah...as I've said before, there is apparently just something about me that God doesn't like.
Yeah..., me too, but you/we are not alone. God doesn't seem to like a lot of us. Or maybe there is another better understanding to be had here. AKA reality...

One would first have to believe in a God and then that he is evil before one can reject him for being evil.
Yes the God as portrayed in the OT sounds evil however as long as one does not believe it was either written or inspired by an actual God then there is no reason to reject a God based on that book.
I suppose the notion of rejecting a God because he is evil is mostly a concept of people raised in religious homes.

Sometimes the attempted point is that even if the believer's god exists, their claims about his nature are not coherent and inherently cannot be accurate.
The OP here is Thrill, who is not an an atheist anyway. As an atheist, I do not reject a particular god concept, I do not accept any of them for lack of substantiating evidence. If I critique BibleGod as evil, that is arguing a hypothetical with someone who believes him good -- usually by way of special pleading to excuse his cruelty or indifference and, by extension, quite possibly their emulation thereof.
