Don you said,""Believe in a God if you will ... Have a religion if you desire" as indicative that you exempt yourself from such beliefs."" I am of the opinion you are trying to put words in my mouth and then making assumptions of my intentions. If this isn't a lie it comes close to it. <<I did not say you hate God but said the doctrine of eternal torment produces haters of God, atheists and agnostics. I could probably say you strongly dislike the Bible and consider it myth ... would I be right? Could I say you hate the God of the Bible?>> You promote eternal torment, I neither believe nor promote. The bible contains many good allegories copied from myth. Myth and fable was early mans way of communicating and teaching. The bible contains much I consider trash and to claim it is of God and not man is pure blasphemy! A good example of your lies are giving religion credit for the many things things you listed as improved. <<Sam, I hate religious falsehood as much as you do.>> Impossible or you wouldn't post it. As to my convictions I promote no religion in particular. I abhor the pious pretensions of imperfect people proselyting for their particular religious group. I am convinced ethics and morality do not depend on religious belief but more on spirituality. I have seen your posts and do not care to argue with you so will not further answer your queries unless I choose to change my mind. Their is nothing to be gained by it.
