Re: Daddy
Good and Evil is cuz he said what was good and what was evil. Obey him or you are evil.
So if this "God" fellow apparated into your living room and commanded you to slay your neighbor you would?

If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!

Re: Daddy
in the Bible (don't know for sure who so I won't say) was willing to kill his own son because God said so
It was Abraham, you claim to be christian and yet don't know this? I know this and I'm not a beleiver of your mythology.
If the one and only God told me to kill everybody, I would be the "God's Hand" serial killer
I will admit I am a little selfish. I would care more about sparring my own soul than to spare my neighbors life, even if I was good friends with my neighbor.
So you admit to being a sociopath. You have no morals of your own beyond what some imaginary being deems to be right or wrong.
But better yet, if God appeared in front of you and told you to kill your self, YOU WOULD.
No I wouldn't, I'd tell your mythical being to go fuck himself and then happily await his smiting by Odin the Allfather, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Re: Daddy
No, because for some strange reason he never asked me to kill anyone.
Killing people is not one of the requirements for being a sociopath.
do you talk to mythical beings? "If" (which did start the question) he appeared in front of you and told you to kill yourself, he's no longer a mythical being.
That statement of mine needed a bit of clarification. I meant mythical as in "He's not who/what you think he is", sure there might be an entity out there posing as the christian god but he's full of hot air, don't beleive the hype.
Tell it to God-He'll "fire" you permanently
No he won't cause he doesn't have that kind of power, he's a charlatan.
