Loving A Loving God, Who Leaves us All Alone

 ALMIGHTY GOD approves of abortion, human suffering, and war. If God allows free will or evil,,or the devil to exist,God is not good. Or, as A. E. Housman said: "If God is good, God is not God, if God is God, God is not good." Far better, considering the circumstances, to conceive of and admire a creator unconcerned with human morality. Or, as Einstein said: "I cannot conceive of a personal God who would sit in judgment over creatures of his own creation. Morality is of the utmost importance, for mankind, but nor for God." Traditional religions are barbaric, primitive, outdated, devised long ago b primitive barbaric cultures. American evangelical Christians are fond of accusing secularists of waging a war on Christianity, when in fact secularist Americans are simply are trying to defend an intentionally secular country , against a constant theocratic incursion into government. Evangelicals refuse to accept the reality that the United States was founded as a nation of freedom of and from religion. this allows them to embrace the illusion that it was founded on Christian values, as a Christian nation, which it was not. Religious freedom from government interference is crucial to a healthy culture, but when primitive religion doctrine impels religious zealots to try to force religion into and upon government, then the government becomes a threat to religious freedom. In america, the same people who fear that their religious freedoms are threatened by incursions by a secular government would gladly acquiesce to incursions into freedom of religion by making government conjoined to one particular religion, Christianity. Madison and Jefferson both believed that government and religion must be separated by an impenetrable wall, with good reason. God created and allowed to flourish a world filled with human suffering and injustice. It is therefore imperative that government be free of religious shackles, that it might at least have the opportunity to at least alleviate somewhat, in some small measure, that human suffering.
