If you could describe an ideal God whom to worship, what would He be like?

Actually, I think the current situation with regard to a rea/ideal god does
exist. I don’t bother him and he doesn’t bother me. But if I were to answer:
He would show himself. He would provide a quid pro quo deal that I can
understand. He would guide me only to the garage sales with stuff I want.

Hmmm. Most atheists I know have a pretty condescending attitude towards
religion.
|
That’s my experience too. Even me. I don’t sit around with other atheists
discussion how stupid the sheep are (for a number of reasons), but those
conversations do happen. And I do think that belief in the supernatural is a
mental failing -- almost certainly one of the complexities of human psychology
rather than simple stupidity.

Look, just because one is a Christian doesn’t mean that they are necessarily
clear thinkers.

I rather suspect that Dave wasn’t arguing that. :-)
