I fail to see how it is more offensive to say that "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me." than to say about someone's god "a cantankerous bearded patriarchal figure to please, oh yes, smite your enemies
might be a bit antiquated."Similar controversies have arisen on PBPsych, and I believe that Dr. Bob has finally come to the conclusion that respect is a necessary component to discussion. "a cantankerous bearded patriarchal figure to please, oh yes, smite your enemies might be a bit antiquated." doesn't appear to me to be all that respectful to my God.
