Bishop Spong has just done so. The Old Testament is filled with mass killings ordered, committed, or approved by that God. Certainly not by metamorphosis like caterpillars to butterflies nor by Darwinian mutation. Armstrong says they were changed by human beings who found the old versions didn't suit them, and that was long before Feuerbach, Mr. Manion. So when we come to the conclusion that men create gods, not vice versa, we find ourselves in a whole new ball game.
Science has pretty much made creator gods and any god's control over natural phenomena superfluous.
Manion says atheism is a religion. That's as ridiculous, sir, as saying bald is a hair color. He also says atheism is based on faith. Faith on the other hand is defined as belief without evidence or sufficient evidence. It is tantamount to gullability.
