No, I'm not going to let you off that easily. You said that you accepted that God commiting/advocating rape, murder, genocide and human sacrifice was loving, and that this God, this faith tradition, is moral. I'm sorry, but if that's the view of Orthodox Christianity, I don't need to know any more. It doesn't matter what else you believe. None of the details matter in comparison to this. That belief system is abhorrent; it's terrifying. It gives license to commit any crime, no matter how outrageous, as long as you can justify to yourself that it is making someone's afterlife better.
It's wrong.
And you know it.
You don't do any of these things. You'd never believe someone who told you that they raped their children because they loved them, and you'd never do it yourself. You'd never believe someone who told you they killed their children because they loved them, and you'd never do it yourself. You'd never believing someone who told you that they fed their children to hungry bears because they loved them (the children, that is, not the bears), and you'd never do such a thing yourself. You are morally superior to your religion if they think this is okay. You are morally superior to your God if He thinks this is okay.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
