Why can't you theists keep your story straight, is your skydaddy the creator of good and evil or just good? If it creates both them how do you feel about knowing that he put men like Stalin and Mao in the position they were in? If it creates only good how do you feel about knowing that he allows this stuff to happen?

How about you worship the non-existent Jewish zombie?

Christianity is the only religion that worships a dead god. Maybe that is why it is so violent.
