>A better 'god'
well you can sit and pout and cope and never know God's mercy, His love, and the freedom and joy found in a relationahip with Him.
You are free to spitefully hate Him and blame Him for anything you want, even your own choices. He says this is the case in the book. Your attitude is accounted for.

Besides in the case the universe does happen to be governed by Spinoza's or the Stoic god, wouldn't you like the opportunity to be able to bring one into this universe who does operate on your principles that can supersede that thing?

I'm sure you would have your chance to live under their glory or see them for yourself in person infront of you if we can get rid of this thing that governs the universe which only cares about making sure it operates on a certain line of reasoning.

>who does operate on your principles
My principles? As a human being with all of 34 years experience? How fucking maniacal would I have to be to want God to be like me? He would be utterly unworthy of worship.
Just because you want God to be a certain way does not mean you have option to remake Him that way.

The principles that both of you share. 

I am saying I imagine you would want to get rid of this current tyrannical force that is preventing you from directly meeting him.

He would probably appear in this world or if not then you can grant him existence in this universe.


What is the empirical evidence that makes you sure its him who is in-charge and not an indifferent non-sentient force that governs without principles?

No one has empirical evidence whatsoever; science only has a collection of observations and that's it. Atheists say it's just the way things are but it still doesn't make sense how we just came from 'energy' and religion in general just doesn't make sense sometimes and when you put the two together, you still have some questions left. I mean, both sides will say that their thing (whether energy or God) has always been but don't have an explanation where they came from.

I want my civil rights back from the mindraping cult that targeted me for 'lying' about sex! I wasn't lying, assholes! I was telling the truth as a child who learned early that complaining about sex was forbidden!

I once had a cybersexual threesome with a married couple that I met in the Vanilla Club on FurryMUCK when I was using a fake ID to access that server. I was using a female otter avatar and they were using canine ones. I complained that imagining oral from a canine seemed slobbery, and they HATED me for that.

It was one of my early encounters when the fake-ID account was new. I wasn't supposed to complain, so in that and other encounters, I was trained to 'love' what I went through. I was always supposed to be grateful. I did my best, but it was awful! I never got over being stressed to hell and feeling like I was mired down by constant panic attacks. It was normal for me to freeze up for minutes at a time just staring at the screen feeling like trash. I felt slow and inadequate and stuck doing stuff I didn't want to do.

I call that freezing behavior 'possuming out', because I was reacted to stress by getting totally stuck and unable to do stuff for minutes at a go. That was part of my 'obsessive' 'love' of sex. I couldn't handle it! I hated it and nobody could talk to me about how I felt about it! The slightest touch of my feelings was treated as HATRED and yet somehow NOBODY fathomed that my feelings about the sexual encounters might actually be NEG-A-TIVE.

I wish more people had (like Jacel) noticed that I wasn't actually having fun in every scene.

>No one has empirical evidence whatsoever; science
empirical evidence literally means evidence acquired by direct experimentation - the exact opposite of peer review

There is nothing more empirical than being in a state of miserable sorrow and guilt, low-functioning, praying in desperation for relief and forgiveness, and then all that follows. A changed life, the being born again, casting away the old - when you thought it would own you forever ---

That's literally empirical evidence. The direct observed and felt result of your actions and heart seeking peace in submission to God's love for you
