Yes. Yes, I do.
Rest assured I find your gods all equally fictional.
These are equivalent.
Actually, no they're not. We actually know who wrote The Lord of the Rings.
↑ ... if they want to be taken seriously. And especially if they want to hold positions of public influence.

"If you've ever uttered the words, 'but that was in the Old Testament,' congratulations, you've just admitted that your god is not 'perfect.'"
Also that morality is not objective.

Some people ask me what I mean by "religion is a mental illness."
And then some people answer the question for me.
Religion of love and grace, ladies and gentlemen.
GODS MORAL ORDER IS PERFECT
Yet nothing against slavery or rape, from the same book that actively promotes and prescribes slavery and rape. And only a couple of "Commandments" are enshrined in law, and have been for millennia, long before this stupid book.
And, as you've quite deliberately avoided addressing, Xians tell us how much of it "no longer applies."
If you don't stone non-virgin girls to death on their wedding day, then you already admit your "god's moral order" is not "perfect."
If you don't stone people to death for working on the Sabbath, then you already admit your "god's moral order" is not "perfect."
If you don't avoid bacon, shellfish, wearing mixed fibers or sowing multiple crops in the same field, then you already admit that your "god's moral order" is not "perfect."
If you don't get your slaves from the neighboring villages, pass them down to your children as inherited property and make them slaves for life, then you already admit that your "god's moral order" is not "perfect."
You can't have a "perfect moral order" which "no longer applies." You can't have a "perfect moral order" which you just choose not to follow. That's self-refuting. And that's the point. Believers don't follow their scripture either, because they know it isn't perfect.
All day, every day, in everything you do, everywhere you go, you're behaving as if your "god's moral order" isn't perfect. Because if you did, you'd be in prison. You won't admit it in what you say, but you admit it in everything you do.
One thing that is against "god's moral order" is taking the name of the lord thy god in vain. That is, speaking on its behalf, in its name, with an authority you do not possess. Which is precisely what you did. That's even one of the Commandments. So, not only do you already admit that your "god's moral order" is not "perfect," but you demonstrate a deliberate, wanton, blasphemous intention to violate it.
Why would I take moral counsel from someone who flagrantly and arrogantly disregards the most basic tenets of their god's divine command?
GODS MORAL ORDER IS PERFECT
This was pretty much the only vaguely coherent part of this insane screed. I don't even know what to say to the rest, because holy fuck. Imagine being part of something so toxic and poisonous that it causes a mental storm of this magnitude.
Seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
P.S. Yahweh killed over 2 million people. Satan only killed 10, and entirely under the direction of the all-knowing, all-powerful, plan-having god who created him in the first place. So, Satan's obviously not the bad guy of the bible. He didn't invent baby cancer, your god did.
If you think the bible is evidence for your god, you don't understand what evidence is.
“Reality is beautiful on its own.
No gods required.”

Without “God” there is no reality.
Without Super-God there is no “God.”
Without Ultra-God there is no Super-God.
Without Thor there is no thunder.
Without Astraea there is no justice.
Without Mbombo the world could not exist.
Without Quetzalcoatl there is no rebirth.
Without Neo there is no freedom from The Machines.
Without Odin there is no protection from the Ice Giants.
Without fictional characters there is no religion.
Without ignorance and fear there is no religious belief.
Without fallacies there is no argument for any god.
Without a cosmological model that necessitates or even suggests a god there is nothing to consider.
Without evidence there is no reason to believe.
“Increasingly, biblical scholars are coming to the realization that the field of Jesus Studies has failed to verify any single fact of Jesus' life.”
-- David Fitzgerald
I figured out it was all fairytales when I was 10 but, good job, I guess.
“Saying you should worship God just in case you die and he does exist...
... is like saying you shouldn’t go to sleep just in case Freddy exists.”
Worship Ahura Mazda just in case Zoroastrianism is true.
“No matter how hard even the most dedicated theologian may try, the extraordinary beliefs held by the religious cannot be validated, and the very existence of their gods, angels, demons, miracles, etc., cannot be proven.
Christianity has even failed to prove the historicity of its central character, Jesus Christ, nor the existence of his ragtag band of followers that we know as "Apostles."
It's not like they haven't had enough time.”
-- Al Stephanelli
Absence of evidence might not be evidence of absence, but after 2000 years we’re entitled to conclude that the likelihood of the Jesus story being true is comparable to the likelihood Lord of the Rings is true.
“What we have in the text is the character Yahweh who, as depicted, can for various reasons not possibly exist outside the stories in which he acts.
Yahweh is like Donald Duck, who is real is some fictionalist sense. He does not exist outside the cartoons about his character.”
Dr. Jaco Gericke
Fortunately, the monster-god of the bible is trapped within the same book that invented it in the first place.
“If Jesus was a god and really wanted to save the world, he would have appeared and delivered his Gospel personally to the whole world.
He would not appear only to one small group of believers and one lone outsider, in one tiny place, just one time, two thousand years ago, and then give up.”
-- Richard Carrier
“There were, in fact, numerous pre-Christian savior gods who became incarnate and underwent sufferings or trials, even deaths and resurrections.
None of them actually existed.
Yet all were placed in history, and often given detailed biographies.”
-- Richard Carrier
We don’t need to prove, nor even claim, that Jesus was a plagiarized character. We can simply observe that the authors of the bible just did exactly what every deity-author did before them.
