Your god had nothing to do with creating the universe, and the more I see of statements such as you have made, the less I respect religion...I have given my children life, but that does not give me the right to kill them....I will continue to judge the god you believe in for what he would be if he actually existed...Cruel and lacking in empathy of any kind...If he were human he would be called a psychopath. There is no god.

I have to answer to my boss, but who does the top boss have to answer to? No one.

Why would you waste your time being angry at something that doesn't exist? Sounds like you're not 100% sure.

So for you to believe that people still have the right to kill people when they believe they hear the voice of God instructing them to do so, would be in error.
I never said I believe people who think "God" is telling them to kill have the right to kill. I said they might think they have the right to kill, and thus will proceed to do so. This has happened many times in the past. One of the dangers of religion.

You have the right to do anything at all. It's only society, or law, that tries to tell you that you do not have the right to do something or other. I'm opposed to both.

I fail to see how you read anger in anything Sanspeur stated. He's simply calling out your god for what he is, whether he exists or not.

Why are you so angry at Zeus? Sounds like you aren't 100% sure...

Ehh, creditors, shareholders, THE LAW.

And you can always tell your boss to shove it, and go work for someone else.
