Jenyar said:No, it's not. But it does matter what the standards are. God does not exclude people on the basis of affiliation, after all, but on whether they know Him or not. That knowledge is expressed as love, but can still be denied nontheless.
So since you created the fantasy of your deity in your mind, it's fine for you to just start spewing its properties eh?
How do you know god isn't a dick? Depending on your affiliation, people are bound to determine that god doesn't like your affiliation. Are you saying they're all wrong? How the shit do you know?
Such, IMO, is a key problem with taking a theist stance. You presume you can discern the properties of god, when truly, you don't know shit about it. What if god isn't love? What if god is hate? What if god is evolution? What if god is anything but how you choose to think you relate to it? Yes, you have faith that god is what you think god is... I understand that, but in making your presumption you consign your deity to your perception of it - which is noteably unreliable. Worse, IMO, to assume the idea of "god" as "comprehensible" in the sense that you can interpret it as "love" or anything in particular besides its definition is IMO, the definition of irreverence. I think if you believe in god, you should at least be consistent and discontinue attempts to anthropomorphize it.
