The morality of torturing children cause they’re not from the chosen people.

      Nah. The argument against that is god gave us free will, otherwise our decisions wouldn’t matter.

      Us being fucked up isn’t god’s fault; it’s ours.

        That’s just details explaining it, not an argument against it.

        Fuck god. If I could time travel I would go back to whoever came up with the idea and kill them before they talked to anyone about it.

        That concept could be a great TV show.

        This only works up to a point. Many loving parents will say their kids need to make their own experiences, but they will still keep them from sticking their hand into a power outlet. I wouldn’t say the kid’s choices have no meaning because of this.

        Also, if this is true, God also gave us our murderous instincts that make us use our “free will” in this way.

          i agree with your overall point, but what “murderous instinct”? most people have trouble killing, someone has to condition them to be effective

        I was being facetious. The laws of nature make no room for a god. But, you do you. I’m not gonna argue the existence or lack thereof bcz frankly it’s been centuries and it’s an unfalsifiable concept.
