Deranged atheist blogger “Sisyphus Fragment” (not his real name) has taken the joyous occasion of Father’s Day as an opportunity to bash Our Father, which art in Heaven.
“Worst Father Ever!” declares Sissy. Why?
Sisyphus Fragment, hard at work insulting God.
Why is he the worst father ever? Let’s take a look at why Yahweh deserves the title of “Worst Dad Ever”:
When his children misbehaved he drowned the entire planet, killing 99% of them.
He ordered one of his sons to murder his grandson, only telling him it was a joke at the last second.
Yahweh also made a deal with another one of his children to kill the first thing that left the man’s house, in order to win a battle, knowing full well ahead of time that it would be the man’s daughter. He did not stop this man and the daughter was slaughtered and burned.
He sent another one of his son’s to Earth to be tortured and then murdered so that his own bloodlust could be satisfied. Depending on your theology, he may have also sent this son to Hell to be tortured more for three days.
He plays favorites by deliberately showing his power to a select few and then punishing the rest of his kids when they are skeptical of the claims of the handful of kids.
He gives infinite punishment to those who are not even able to comprehend infinity, for finite crimes.
Lastly, Yahweh also plays the meanest game of hide and seek ever, hiding from his children in such a way that he cannot be found, then sending those children who can’t find him to Hell for eternity.
Sissy Figment clearly does not understand that God is the most prolific Father ever, having created the entire universe and everything in it! He also set forth rules for His Creation. He set for the punishment . . . eternal torture in the fiery pits of the Hell He created for that very purpose.
When the rules proved too difficult for mere humans to follow, Our Father impregnated a Jewess with Himself, so He could be born a human and live among us, then sacrificed Himself to Himself. His ultimate sacrifice, His temporary death, was ended by His self-resurrection after three days. Glory!
Greater love hath no Father ever shown His children! What other examples of God’s Love can you share?

Why are you persecuting me?!
All joking aside, do you think your biological father has the right to kill or torture you at his own discretion? Even if a god does exist(I still don’t see any evidence for one), after it has created us it no longer has any authority over us, having given us free will and the such. It has no right to kill or torture us.
I’m sorry, do you make the rules, or does God make the rules?
Who are you, the clay, to tell the potter what He can do with you?
Clay and people are like comparing apples to stars. According to your view I have free will, once your god has given that to me it no longer has a right to control me. Does a rapist have the right to rape a woman just because he’s strong enough to? Once again, do you think your biological father has the right to kill or torture you at his own discretion?
Last time I checked, my biological father wasn’t God, and didn’t create the entire universe . . . or even me. God did that. Sorry, but your logic fails. Asking whether a fallible human should have the same authority as the Creator is like asking whether my dog should have the same authority over a nuclear arsenal as the President.
