No, seriously consider this.
If there is a god at all (something which I am skeptical about right now), does he (or she or it - if it doesn't have a gender), rule by fear?
They demand of us that we follow a given set of guidelines, and that if we fail, then we are threatened with an eternity of punishment and torture in hell.
Is that rule by fear?
And if god exists, just because it created us does not necessarily mean that it has the right to set moral standards, it could be argued: morals are just a guideline for everyday conduct in society.
Your thoughts?
