An almighty God decided he was either bored or lonely so he creates a universe of immense size to
house one small, third-rate planet where he can create beings whose purpose is to make him feel
better by loving and adoring him.
Since God needed to be sure his created people would only love him because they chose to love
him, he gave humans the free choice not to believe him. Unfortunately, the very first human chose
to ignore this God, and this God got all pissed and put a curse on the little planet and all its future
inhabitants. In fact, he even created a scenario where after the first human chose to disobey, all
subsequent humans would be born automatically bound for hell unless they accepted God's bizarre
get-out-of-hell-free option. Rather than simply give humans the option to die and no longer exist,
this God decided he would forever burn the skin off of those who didn't choose to love and adore
him.
Thus this God, in his infinite love, informed his created people that they need to either love and
adore him or they'll go to the hell he created, which basically negates the idea of giving people free
will. After all, most humans will make choices they would not otherwise make when someone is
holding a gun to their head.
Of course, this God, knowing everything that will happen in the future, foresees that more than 95%
of the people he creates (without asking us if we wanted to be created) will either not be well
enough informed to get out of hell or will simply reject the idea of a need for Christian salvation. But
the Christian God, knowing this in advance, still decided to create these humans even though he
knew he'd end up torturing billions of them in an endless lake of fire, all so he could have a handful
of the faithful to give him love and adoration.
Not yet satisfied, this God decides to create his get-out-of-hell-free card by killing his own creation
or by killing his own son. First he has his followers kill and burn animals because he really got off
smelling the burning blood. Then he turned his son into one of his creation so he could have him
beaten and killed with his blood flowing everywhere. And to top it off, he also said that those who
love and adore him should then either symbolically or literally eat the human flesh and drink the
human blood of his son in order to fully love and adore this God.
This God really loves spilling blood and then making people drink it.
Finally, this God decided to tell his created people of this plan through a cryptic and hard to
interpret set of books and then relied on his created people to join together to decide which of
those books really came from this God and which ones did not. They couldn't do it based on
evidence, however, so they just basically guessed. Because this God didn't decide to make it clear
to all humans just how to get their get-out-of-hell-free card, this God allowed the obvious confusion
to lead to thousands of different interpretations of this set of books, meaning many who think they
have found God's get-out-of-hell-free card actually will still be tossed into the lake of fire by this
loving God.
Oh, and to make it even worse, this God decides to be mute most of the time, and instead asks
those who love and adore him to be his spokespeople, thus allowing all kinds of strange things to be
said in his name.
Amen, and pass the plate.
BTW: Everything I listed here is biblically supported and exists in all major Christian doctrines.
Most, however, make it a little more palatable and flowery.
