A Moral Vacuum

This was posted recently to a Heathen elist to which I subscribe by my good friend Pat Buck, aka Jordsvin. It was in response to how one behaves when the inevitable missionaries come around. Read it and ponder the wisdom ...

I've told Christians this:

One should envision one's Gods as being at least as good as the best human beings. The best of us would not damn people for eternity for an honest difference of opinion or because they liked to drink beer and get laid. The best of us would not set up eternal torment at all. Your God is less worthy than the best of his admittedly very imperfect human creations. I refuse to worship him on moral grounds. If you ever managed to convince me that Yahweh is running things, I would run, not walk, to the nearest Satanist group and sign on the dotted line in my blood in a New York minute. I hope that I don't live in a universe where the moral high ground is Satanism, but if that should prove be the case, I know where my loyalties would lie.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
