I don't think they think that tho. They really think the god is real & he's the only one & he's setting rules which apply to all.

But I suspect you are right & they do use this thinking. It just doesn't work if they are actually right.

If they actually got to heaven with same psychology as now & saw ppl being tortured for thoughtcrime, they'd see the problem.

Ideally, they'd probably want everyone's God to be real for them but can't say this coz their god has the 'One True God' rule.

I absolutely agree with that. And they almost take that attitude in life despite not thinking it's true.

They are VERY slippery on Hell, too. They will dodge at any cost, or try and make it seem more palatable, or avoid etc

Yes! That is why I am always surprised when I meet one who believes & justifies their god punishing thought-crime horribly!

I think they see it more almost like a "law of nature" than as a "person" with rules.

That would make sense. It ties in with what the bloke I spoke to yesterday said. Like an asteroid. We're like ants to God.

Yeah, I think the problem is many (even those that believe) only conceive of God as a "person" because of limited imagination.

Well, God is a human concept. Its going to have traits important to humans - morality, family, creativeness, reasoning, laws.

If we're just talking abt things we don't know abt the origins of everything, 'God' is probably just limiting how we can do that.
