Comment on Tradition is just bullying by dead people

I feel this way about religion.

It is literally being bullied by a supernatural creature that doesn’t even exist. Do X, do not do Y, else the entire wrath of the Almighty will be upon you.

And at the same time the Almighty can do absolutely anything they want - mass murder people, sleep with anyone, get everyone drunk, tell father to kill the son - because what, are you gonna defy or question someone who else destroys you and tarnishes your soul for the rest of eternity?

List of things the fictional God did that broke their own commandments, or hypocritical moments:

God claiming to be the sole God (in the Bible itself, references to other deities with apparent powers exist such as Ba’al)

God claiming that people shall worship no other gods: see above. Insecure, much?

No making of images (while they make humans in their image)

No taking their name in vain (scorns others regularly)

Remembering and observing the sabbath (doesn’t even do it themselves)

Honouring parents (doesn’t even have any parents themselves)

Thou shalt not kill (literally the whole flood, firstborn kills, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.)

No committing adultery (God doesn’t even do sex themselves I think)

No stealing (they steal immortality from humanity)

No lying (lies to Isaac to make him offer his own son)

Don’t be envious of other peoples’ partners and stuff (didn’t like that humans became self-conscious, handicapped the garden’s snake for givinf that, killed people in Sodom and Gomorrah because they were probably queer)

Set up stones bc I said so (if God is almighty then why do they not simply put this thought into everyone?)

In a nutshell, God is a raging insecure hypocrite.

  He is literally the Project lead of the simulation that has a massive ego but is to talented and can work solo that other devs just tolerate him and eventually leaves him in control of the project.

Religion is just world wide competition on who has the best imaginary friend/friends
