You must love me or else

I gotta say, Seth Andrews responded to me several times way back in the days when I was breaking the last vestiges of my catholic guilt chains. Here he very respectably takes this "true christian" guy apart. The guy just doesn't get it. At all. His skull reminds me of general chem lab beaker that you evacuate to create a vacuum.

Nobody can command you to love them. That's not how love works. Yet, god commands you to love him and burns you if don't. That is some sick shit.

I know there are exceptions, however my impression of most hard core religious persons is they not only lack cognitive ability but they struggle with basic morality.

According to the Bible, we're supposed to love God, but we're also supposed to fear God.
But 1 John 4:18 says "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
So, we can't both love God and fear him too.

You can't spell contradiction without DICK.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."
