as george carlin says (not an exact quote)

religion has actually convinced people that... there's an invisible man in the sky! who watches everything you do, and he has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do.. and if you do any of these things, he'll send to you a place full of fire where you'll burn, hurt, suffer, and cry for ever and ever until the end of time....

BUT HE LOVES YOU! doesn't seem like a loving being to me...
