Why does God care what religion you are?

[Perndog]

I stand by what I said. If a god exists, he is able to do what he wants, and that includes ignoring humans who don't think he makes sense.

Bad assumption number three: Assuming that any god = God as described by Christians. You hear the word, you turn it into that name and ascribe to it all of the qualities that Christians say he has. Assuming God exists, what Christians say may be an accurate picture of what he really is, but they may just as easily be very wrong.

Bad assumption number four: Tying in with the Christian God, this crap about perfection. It's terrible rhetoric to say in the same breath that God is perfect and that people can't grasp perfection and then try to define the word. Shouldn't God be in charge of definitions? Maybe perfect for him means selfish and vindictive, not generous and forgiving.

Bad assumption number five: anthropomorphizing a god, particularly giving him traits of specific humans. If I were a god, once again, and I valued the minds of some people, that would not drive me to seek public worship; if people were worshiping me, I could just as easily watch them from afar, and that would give me equal satisfaction. Once again, a god may think just like a human, but he may not, and if he does think like a human, it is very important to account for the enormous variation in human personalities.

Bad assumption number six: God cannot be a hypocrite. Why not? You ask why would God impose such moral laws against vanity, etc.? How about because he has the right to make rules for humans, even if he himself is above the law. "Do as I say, not as I do." Or think of a scientific experiment; "what happens when I tell them this?"
