Theists will never see the face of God. Giggle.
As a religionist of sorts, Gnostic Christian with a touch of Deist, I have to sometimes have a giggle at the position that believers in Bible God take.
Especially their more immoral positions as they accept Gods reasons for murdering or to them, just justly killing humans.
It is not funny but I giggle out of sadness for theists lack of thought and morals.
At the same time as I fight my own camp for their more bizarre thinking, I am attacked by atheists who see me as just as delusional as those who follow Bible God. I am in a rather unique position as you can see.
Having said that, I think all theists, especially those of the Abrahamic cults, Christians, Catholics and Muslims, need to chill a bit and not take religion so seriously. By doing so, you just make yourselves the laughing stock of the world. Laughter is good so I would like to share some with my fellow theist and atheist adversaries.
Those who follow Bible God, Christians, Catholics and Muslims, cannot ever tell what he looks like because of their vantage point.

Those who follow Bible God seem to go against the precedent set by nature and are thus acting un-naturally.
The God of any animal is one of it's own.
The God of ants is an ant.
The God of lions is a lion.
It follows then that the God of men should be a man.
No other animal, other than man, has taken the notion that it's God should be some alien or an entity of other than it's own kind.

As to Muslims, their fundamentalists have worked hard in killing those who would make fun of their particular God Allah and his prophet Mohamed and in the real world, I would perhaps refrain from jokes but in the anonymity of this place, I cannot help myself so I offer a picture of Mohamed as he would appear today.

Religion has no place in the modern world. Good morals and ethics have. You shouldn't have to look for god or believe in god to have these qualities. It comes from within.

I agree men are without excuse. God said He wrote His laws on "all men's hearts".

Out of curiosity... how does a person such as Buddha or Laozi fit into your signature video regarding those in black hats vs white hats?

If you wish to view it that way.

Well, the analogy says Christ as the only one in a white hat. That only leaves another choice.

God demands perfection, because He is perfect. So we all have a problem, that problem is sin. Here is another way to look at it. Would you invite your worst enemy to live in your house for the rest of your life? God is no different, why should He allow people who reject Him and do everything against what He commands to live in His kingdom with Him?
Being good is great, it will keep you out of prison. God demands perfection. He judges us all on His perfection, not on men's standards. But God had a plan from the start, He put all our sins on His Son and sacrificed Him for everyone. So He made an atonement for all of us His children. He made the ultimate infinite sacrifice for all our sins. And nothing can be more simple than just asking Him to forgive you and accept that sacrifice.

All world religions have a set of man-made rules to try and justify oneself to God, they are a stench in His nostrils.

Okay, for arguments sake, why should God judge on our standards when He is perfect? Why shouldn't God judge on His standards? Why should He judge on human standards?
