    Well, sure--you can argue that with atheists all you want. I was just debating the validity of your contradiction claim. :)

    And I won. :ghoti:

    That's the problem. Atheists put God and humans on the same level.

    In my experience theists tend to anthropomorphize the concept of God way more than atheists do.

    Atheists do think the apparent contradiction of a God described as loving and caring, but simultaneously described as commanding and committing genocide etc., is evidence that particular God is more likely to be a construct of the imagination of morally primitive humans than to actually exist.

    At least they would be open to more convincing justification for apparent moral contradictions than theists can possibly offer now. I (hypothetically) would be.
