Good question.
I like to think that if you live your life in a "moral" manner, as outlined by basic pillars of modern Christianity, then you should have a better shout than someone who goes to church, but does not. In other words, it does not matter what you are. That's my opinion. God (if there is one) is not so callous and vindictive.
It's all about deeds, actions, never mere beliefs and words
you have no solid ground to get real understanding because you don't believe there is a preserved word of God so you will only get mens opinions on a god they might believe in being loving or hateful.

The prime directive type reasoning is far too lazy of an excuse as it/they would have already interfered in the lives of people and made it null and void.
You have no solid ground to get real understanding, because you believe in an ancient book written by men who told you it was the preserved "word of god". So you will only get men's opinions on a god they might believe in being loving or hateful.

You read to much into a post that does not support your conclusion.
Do you do this with everything you read?
I simply quoted two religious books on someones supposed god having references to loving and hating people, nothing more nothing less.
You either have to have a source to quote on a god being loving or hating or you are left to opinions of men and reading into post things that are not there.

I took your initial statement at face value, and responded accordingly. Did you not intend your statement to be taken literally? Do you do this often with what you post?
