I didn't say I believe in God, but even if I did, I don't need to be religious to believe in a God or gods. I'm more agnostic (I'm also a fan of Dr.Pepper ).

You can't exactly explain God, if you believe in a god and you worship him/her then you can defend your belief and maybe explain your ideas of a god or gods, but even then you're only explaining what you think is right.

What you're talking about is a god created by some religions that portray him as perfect, not all gods have been made out to be perfect. Older societies have had multiple gods, and even some current religions (like Hinduism) have multiple gods capable of different things.

I've already posted not so long ago on the "free will" idea and the idea of God being perfect.

The thing that always gets me with religion is the "free will" thing religious people (particularly Christians) say that God has given us. Yeah, you have free will to do whatever you want...but if God doesn't approve of it you're going to burn. That's like saying you have free will in North Korea, but if you do something that the leaders don't approve of then you're screwed.

Not exactly free will, is it?

It also means that God either failed with you if you don't do what he wants, which isn't possible because God is perfect, or he planned for you to fail him, which is bad because God is all loving yet he made you destined to burn in hell.
