I have no problem with deism, it's illogical, but no more so than assuming everything always existed. I think it adds an extra layer of illogical by assuming something concious made it, but deism I don't find crazy.
It's the personifications of god that I find ridiculous. Listening to people talk it's hard to tell the difference between god and an abusive husband. The conversations go approximately the same as if you're talking to a dutiful wife married to a psychotic man. Always starts off with a defense of his actions.
He demanded the genocide of numerous nations, the slaughtering of women and children!
But they made him do it, he didn't want to, but they really forced him to commit genocide, and it was really for everybody's own good if he killed them all, you see he had to, and besides he's different now, he's alot better now, he doesn't do that anymore.
That's terrible, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!
No,no,no, don't do that, please don't do that, he'll be angry. You don't want to make him angry, please don't make him angry, I think he's probably already mad at you, but he's very nice, so very loving, you don't know him like I do, he'll forgive you, I'm sure he'll forgive you, I'll ask him to forgive you, I'll ask him every night to forgive you, I sure hope he forgives you, and me to, I really hope he forgives me, I'm so bad, he tells me I'm bad, and I know it, and I ask and I ask and I ask for his forgiveness, and I'm sure he'll give it too me, he's soo loving, if only you knew him like I do, he does so much for me, every day, I just wish I wasn't so bad to him. But don't worry He'll forgive you....probably...and he'll forgive me, I hope, I know he will... but if he doesn't....he's going to kill us...he told me so, he told me he'd do terrible things to us if we make him angry, and we're so bad to him all the time, I'm trying to be good, but I'm just not, but I'm sure.....I'm sure he'll forgive me, and you to, I think he'll forgive you, I hope he'll forgive you...or..or..
Forgive me for what???
....not loving him.
aaaand.....scene
I mean bloody hell, what kind of insane maniac is this guy? If you ran into a woman talking like this you wouldn't go worship the guy for being so damn awesome, and hope he forgives you. But you run into millions of people talking like that, so what the hell, I'd better start loving the guy....or else.
