I've always viewed god not as demanding, but inviting us to heed his warnings (not threats). After all is it a threat if you tell someone not to put their hand on the stove or they'll get burned? |
LDS, I find it interesting how you deliberately blind yourself to the blatently obvious. It is strictly NOT possible to be a believer without ignoring certain facts, like all the biblical contradictions.
As for the stove question... I know not to put my hand on the stove because I will get burned because it is hot... the difference here is that the stove is not deliberately and vengefully exacting punnishment. It does not make a choice to burn you. God does. God gets angry, feels the need for revenge, and damns you to hell for all eternity.
The two things are about as different as black and pink.
