does the fact that god treats people according to their religious beliefs - make him a bigot? The christian god seems to discriminate against non-christians. Humans who treat people differently based on their beliefs are condemned - why would god do something we condemn and outlaw?

you asked this question in your other question but....
don't understand your concern over the Christian God not treating others accordingly -they do not believe in HIm so it does't bother them. Besides, who are we to say how God treats non-Christians. While there are passages in the bible where yes, God has turned away from those who turn away from Him -- who are we to judge what really happens in the end when a person stands face to face with God. it is and will always be a persons choice - accept or deny. However, don't forget that one has to know that of which they deny. Those that have never heard of God and Jesus, who've never been told the Good News have nothing to accept or deny, they fall under a seperate category of people.
Allah is also said to dismiss those who do not accept Him. I don't know if this is what you're getting at, so....

God is all Love and suited and not a Bigot. Homosexuality does is going against will yet God does not provide up there yet shows His love with the help of forgiving our trespasses. Does meaning being a bigot? it rather is people who're bigots who at an identical time as they factor their finger in the direction of people who do some thing undesirable or are distinctive they attempt to cover their very own sins. God is often waiting to settle for us back and that's the reason Christ, the understanding made flesh, got here to earth to make up for our misdoings. He by no skill scoulded every person yet forgave him and advised him/her "to no longer sin not extra".

God doesn't men do. The Word of God clearly says that 'There is no respect of persons with God'. Only man and the enemy of God have respect of persons.
Bigotry is of the false God, the devil. And anyone who promotes it is doing his work.
God does define three groups of people in the Bible, the Jews, the Gentiles and the Church of God. These groups are not defined out of bigotry, but out of truth.
The Jews are those who follow the ways of the Old Testament when the Jews were the priesthood for God, who were there to keep people in a redeemable state until the saviour could come. They were the go between to minister to people on the earth.
The gentiles were those who did not believe in God. They chose not to believe so they chose their own group.
The Church of God are those who have accepted the saviour as Lord in their lives. They are called the Church of God but the real truth is that the word Church should be translated 'called out'. They are born of the spirit of God and are the children of God. They have Christ in and are the true Christians. (Meaning no offence to others who call themselves so).
God's will is that all men become born again of him. It is his will that everyone is his child so they can receive the full effect of all the benefits that come from that. However, he is not going to go against peoples free will so it is up to people to chose this option.
It is also not for anyone to judge other peoples choices. They make those choices before God and with all choices come responsibility for the choice.
I do not treat people differently depending on their choice. I merely speak the truth of God to everyone regardless and let them choose what they wish to believe. The truth of God says we are all to be 'fully persuaded in our own minds'.
A wise man once said 'if people want to go to hell let them go'. The reality of this statement is that people have the right to their own choice and we should always let them do so.
So blaming God for peoples actions? Not a good idea. Man is responsible for man's actions. God for God's.
God is not and has never been into religion. All relgion is man made. God is into truth and life, freedom and blessings. Only people are into labels and discrimination.

God made it clear that if you dont know the Son then you cant know the Father...so if you, being a human being, and having made your choice not to believe in the one true God,then it would be quite understandable if the Lord did "discriminate"as you say.

People are bigots. Pick a people group and there are bigots. People who try to insinuate that a group is bad because of its bigotry are showing their own.

Would you call your parents 'bigots' based on the fact that they used rules in your house to discipline you and raise you to be respectable?
The universe is God's--you don't see gravity changing for anyone person do you? Then again--Jesus walked on water......

It is not the case of only Christian God. It is the case with all religions. Even you think that your thoughts are right and rest all are wrong. Don't you????

God does not exist therefore can not be a bigot. It is the people that follow him that in his name are bigotted.
Not all Christians are like this, some athiests are though. All swings and roundabouts....

I hate to be unoriginal- but I have to repeat the first two answers.....God is as much a bigot as the minds that create him.

God is imaginary and hence as bigoted as the minds in which God is imaged.
