A Proposal For Consideration.

[sophiaserpentia]

1. The idea that God is fundamentally and eternally superior to and separate from humankind, will inherently and inevitably lend support to the concept of fundamental superiorities within humankind, particularly those along the lines of gender, race, and economic status.

2. Furthermore, this idea will inherently and inevitably lend rhetorical justification for the use of violence as an acceptable means of promoting an agenda labeled as "holy."

Hmmm. I possibly agree with that. I think that idea of God *certainly* leads to the old 'but if a loving God exists how come there is all this bad stuff?' argument, and also the 'if there is a God he's a capricious megalomaniac' argument...
