Liar!
Surely you can come up with something better to do.

In this post you accuse God of these things and in the next you claim He

It's not unlike talking about Peter Pan's tendency to fly. We can make
comments on a character without asserting that the character is a real
person.
In the context of that post, it was less a criticism of your god than
a criticism of you who worship it. You're the ones who believe it's
real, and yet have no moral qualms with supporting its (by your own
accounts) rather bloody nature.
(Apologies to cross-posted newsgroups. Followup set to alt.atheism.)

Why would you think you have to have a god that actually exists in
order to worship him?
Obviously people do it every day.

I think in a subtle way he is saying 'if your god existed he could be blamed

He can do it, but not for reasons you think he can not do it.

Are you going to tell me, you have never discussed a fictional character as
if it was real? Not even Sherlock Holmes? Not even fairies with small
children, not even the tooth fairy?
It's known as granting your conclusion for the sake of discussion. Just
like I can discuss xianity, and its supposed founder. I do not have to
believe in the existence of the founder to discuss the history that is
claimed to support it, nor the writings that claim to verify it.
I can grant that you believe in a concept, but I do not. I think I can
safely state, that if a person wanted rational discussion on that subject,
I can provide one. Of course, have a hard time realizing that anybody who
does not believe as they do really is rational. When their mythology is
involved, a lot of the rationality, they do possess in the other portions
of their life disappears. I suspect this is also true for other confirmed
believers in the revealed gods of the desert, in particular, as well as the
other gods of humanity.

Do you work at being this stupid, or does it come naturally? The
*character* of your god is quite repulsive. That assessment can be
made without accepting its existence.

In that notable work of fiction, the Old Testament, the character of yahweh is
precisely that of a lying mass murderer. Nobody (save you, apparently) is
talking about what this character is doing in the real world, but only about
what he is reported to have done within his book. One can discuss Harry Potter
in precisely the same way (although his character as written is a good deal
better than that of yahweh).
