I actually think those are some good questions, whether or not one believes in god(s). The christian God is primarily concerned with obedience - eg the sacrifice of Isaac. He doesn't really give a shit about much else, no human achievement impresses him, not math science or art. Not even virtue matters according to most Christians. You might be virtuous, but if you don't accept Christ as your savior, then sorry but you're fucked. this attitude is even more pronounced in Islam, and the sacrifice of Ismail is a major Muslim holiday. Observe the great throngs of believers bowing and chanting in unison and the message is clear - submission and obedience above all. Yes, God wants slaves. |
Virtue doesn't matter, because it's like cleaning clothes with dirty water. It will still be dirty. Tell me, would you forgive someone who raped your partner, killed her, and stole everything from her? Just because that someone was virtous? God might love, but Justice also needs to be done.

A murderer / rapist / thief isn't virtuous. However, if that person professes faith in Jesus than God is cool with them, just like that. Conversely, Someone who is kind and generous but reviles God rightly as an unmerciful tyrant is condemned. Basically, God is a petulant narcissistic brat.
