God loves everyone so is supposedly a positive influence. David Attenbrough was asked if he believed in God. He replied. There is a parasite that exclusively lives behind African childrens eyes that slowley, eventually causes a very painfull blindness. What possible notion of love or choice could that be attributed too. Davids conclusion was that God was either non existant or truly evil.

When I finished year twelve in 1967 we had to go to a retreat with Jesuit Priests for two weeks. In one of the discussions I got up and said that everything I had been taught from the bible was either allegory or at best out and out fabrication. The rest of my peers were visibly disturbed. The head Jesuit asked me lots of questions and I answered him as best I could. At the end of it he said that we have to tell simple stories for the ordinary people. He went further and said when did you work all this out. I told him when I was nine. He then agreed with me. With the proviso that I will understand it all better as I get older. I am now sixty one and it is still fabrication not allegory.
They knew all along!
