If God ever needed people to defend his honor, he would not be really a omnipotent god.On the other hand, if God guided his believers to defend his honor, he would be the Devil.The only rational explanation is that God doesn’t exist.

i believe god does exist, i just also believe in not forcing it on people, as per god(go to your room, close your door, and quietly pray to your god)…

Nobody deserves to die for drawing a picture. Period. But this comic goes further than that to suggest that any anger at perceived blasphemy is always childish, and that Muslims should just lighten up about depictions of their prophet or other inflammatory material.
I agree it would be nice for everyone to stop believing problematic things, whatever that means, but white westerners poking at the faith of Muslims always seems to me to have an attitude of oppression about it. Like white people using the N-word. Yes it’s easy for us to see cartoons and not feel threatened by them, just like we’re not usually that bothered by the word “cracker”. It’s easy to be generous with forgiveness when your society otherwise privileges you.

Yes. I get it.

The lesser godlings can be real too. I just assume that whatever the case they form a partially ordered set and then Zorn’s Lemma gives us at least one maximal element, which we can call God. I also believe in the intersection of most moderate world religions and, obviously, the Axiom of Choice.
