In effect what you are doing here is inventing you're own God. Because
the God of the Bible DOESN'T fit what you'd like him to be, you decide
that you cannot believe in that God.
From whence did you get any rights you may have? I believe in God given
rights. Who gave you the right to disrespect God? God is the ultimate
of what is fair. From whence did you decide what constitutes fair and
what doesn't? It's not a matter of whether or not you like God, it's a
matter of whether or not you believe in God. If you say you DO believe
in God then it's not up to you to decide what God should be like. IF
you don't believe then than you can think whatever you want.
