Excellent reasoning... EXCEPT that, throughout history, self-defined Christians have often been equally as narrow-minded, judgmental, angry, and revenge-minded as the Old Testament Yaweh. That's the image of God they must believe they were created in. So, by not worshiping and emulating that version of God, you must have, in their eyes, strayed onto the wrong path. After all, the patriarchy is doomed if God isn't a stern, fierce father, willing to discipline his children without mercy. Guess, if they're right, I'll be seein' y'all in Hell.
