So many responses so quickly..

To Void_Enthroned, because back when God/God's were personified, people did not have as much understanding of things that they do these days. It was important to relate the idea of an omnipotent force to something they were familiar with. How were you supposed to describe the universe to people who had never even seen the world? That the idea of a God in human form got carried on was simply tradition. I know very few Christians who imagine God in such a way now adays, though they continue to refer to God as "He" simply because that's how it's always been. To change it would complicate things more than they helped them. And why would he care about us? Because he created us. It is useless to get caught up in a debate about this part, because first you would have to prove his not existing to me, or I would have to prove his existing to you. Neither will happen.

I would however like to point out that no sooner do I say "it is because they have shown narrow mindedness towards my God and my savior, the same narrow mindedness that they accuse Christians of having.", you immediately jump to trying to show me the reasons why my faith could not possibly be correct.

And to Hexsass, read the above paragraph. The majority of your people do dismiss Christian ideologies just as much as Christians do the same to them. At least I'm willing to admit the majority of Christianity are self righteous morons who try to force their beliefs on others, I'm just asking that the God and true message behind Christianity not be confused with the mislead idiots presenting it to people. If you do not hold a grudge against the Christian God or the religion of Christianity, then little I said was meant for you. But you cannot deny that I did indeed have an audience of equally narrow minded non-Christians to ask my questions to, especially when one of them posted right above you an entire schpeel on why there's no possible way my ideologies could be correct.

If you're taking these comments to be directed towards you, Hexsass, then please know that they're not. They are meant for whom they are directed towards and no one else. If you don't hold a senseless grudge, or if you're not complaining about Christians forcing beliefs on you as you try to do the same back, then none of my words were for you. However, I think just responding as you have to those words when they were obviously not meant for you shows that you do indeed feel pressured even by a something as passively written as my last post. I made no attacks, and yet you still jumped into defense as if I were addressing my questions to you. Why is this?
