All Versions Of "The God Of Abraham" Are Abusive.

 I never feel critical of someone for merely having God-beliefs or spiritual beliefs. 

 There are even some spiritualities that I admire. 

But what makes my mind incompatible with Biblical and Quranic (aka "Abrahamic") concepts of "God" 

is that I greatly value things which the writers of those books did not. 

 
I value facts and logic;
far more than they did.

I value compassion;
far more than they did.

I see VALUE in the sentience and beauty of animal lives;
which they did not.

I also see VALUE in the sentience and beauty of human lives;
which they did not. 

Granted, they saw some value in some lives. And yes ...
it's very common to hear a Christian or a Muslim saying that their deity greatly values the life of every human.
But they aren't being honest with themselves about what's in their books. 

Nor are they being honest about what is taught in their modern religious buildings.

They don't have real respect and positive value-ation for the lives of non-believers, nor the differently-spiritual, nor the "lukewarm".

Nor do they properly value the lives of people who LIVE and LOVE beyond the rigid boundaries their religion's founders have set.

For their "God", the value of every human life is determined by how useful that person is ...
as a UTILITY for their deity's ego. 

Failing to be adequately flattering and useful as a utility for their god's ego
= disposable. 

Adding abusive insult to injury, we are told that every disposable person "brought that upon their self".

How? 

By merely not 'intuiting' the correct-enough (carefully hidden) answers on "the test".

We are told "the test" is to see who DESERVES to live (and not be tortured) forever.

And what determines who DESERVES to exist? 

If you're a good-ENOUGH person that your HEART works as a COMPASS that leads straight to "the correct answers" about God. 

  So if someone doesn't get the correct-enough answers before they die, the super-ugly and equally unfair ACCUSATION is:

 "they brought that upon themselves" by secretly using their "free will" to "choose" a path to wrong answers. 

Gaslighting. 

Gaslighting as part of a larger system of narcissistic abuse. And they smile in your FACE while it's happening. 

 So no. I'm not interested in any of that. I can't respect it. I refuse to respect it.

Now, there is a small niche of Abrahamic-God-ists who call themselves "Universal Salvation"-ists. 

And they DO value the lives of every person; enough to say "everyone ends up in eternal paradise eventually". 

Now, someone could argue that perhaps one or two of the biblical authors held to some such idea.

And then we could ignore how OTHER bible-writers clearly did NOT think so. 

But regardless, it's still insulting. Because it argues that all of the non-voluntary, non-consenting super-suffering that happens in this world 

is "justified" and serves some greater good. 

It paints ABUSE from a severely twisted Super-Father ... as "for our own good" and something we deserve to have happen to us.

It thinks of ABUSE as a form of divine purification; so that "He" can be called "purely good" and "completely trustworthy".

They are, in other words, pimping themselves out as Flying Monkeys;
just the same as all the other literalist churches.



They're luring vulnerable and desperate people into an abusive relationship with a conceptualized Super-Father; 

- which his self-appointed agents presumes to speak for. 

And to JUSFITY that abuse,
they say "he'll make it up to us later".

I'm sorry. But we can't really "clean it up" and "make it good". 

Those writers were mostly super-awful human beings. 

And the God(s) they imagined?
Psychopathic narcissists. 

There might be some super-creator(s).

They might be some grand, eternal, and transcendent truth about LIFE and LOVE.

And there might be some people who are attuned and connected to it. In fact, I suspect so. 

 In fact, maybe the Universal-ists have caught a partial glimpse of some larger truth.

But they're wrong to look to Bibles for clues. 

They're wrong to hold that book up and say "this is the truth". 

 Bibles and Qurans are getting pretty much everything wrong. 

We are wasting our time to polish that turd. 

We should have more respect for ourselves than that;

and for most other humans,

 and for all the other creatures of this world.

Deny'd in heaven the Soul he held on earth:
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven."
