But on a broader note, and this is only in the interest of fairness... You only seem to be posing arguments based on biblical reasoning, which is obviously not the god PureEvil is committed too, since he mentions druids and shamans and numerous people who Christians tended to burn at the stake rather than interact with.

Just a thought...
when ever i hear god, i assume we're talking biblical... cuz it's one of the most wide spread ideas. it's also the god i know the most about... doesn't matter much to me tho.. all 'gods' are just as fake to me... the thought there is a other-worldly being, that watches everything we do is illogical and impossible imo.

as for the world being worse off. i do believe it would be... that just my thought, cuz i look at everyday life, and i see people not doing things, they would probably otherwise do if they didn't feel they'd be punished for it... maybe not so much in our time, but back a ways, when law enforcement wasn't quite so effective or widespread. today, you usually have to answer for your crimes in court, but quite a while ago, you could easily commit murder or numerous other heinous crimes, and only face a small chance you might be caught.
