Brief Letter To a God-Defender: Tame Version

dear madam or sir allow me a moment for i have a rather pertinent question that has been bugging me like crazy for a long time buzzing like a patch of black flies at the edge of my hairline right at the nape of my neck smack dab in the middle of the month of may why if your omniscient deity is soooooooo all powerful does it need you to defend it? can it not fight its own battles? we have heard all your fairytale fictions to be simply they are bullsnot & hogwash we have heard all about the consequences that will be bestowed upon us for not believing in your own personal god and yet we still do not care we still do not do what you say we still do not believe as you do in this murderous thing you call a god instead what we have are real life atrocities countless tales of people being oppressed & tormented, raped & beaten, all in the name of your gods we have wars upon wars, genocides, famines, epidemics, & natural disasters all piling up the body count while your loving god watches moving the pieces around his little chessboard that he created for his own amusement apparently even if you will never bend why do you feel that you cannot sleep until you have made me succumb to your idiot ways? why must you run through cities, villages and towns like paul revere screaming at the top of your lungs that all of us heathens need to repent before the final days? why can’t you let us all burn in your own personal hell? yes, why can’t you do this (picture it in your head---all the people that you ever disliked, burning for eternity), and while you are doing it---please shut the up? it must be an explosion of anger that rushes through you every time that you come across a non-believer (in whatever fictional story you believe in) you must want to kill us with your own bare hands for defiling your creator you must want your hands dripping with the blood of my own gouged jugular but a sense of beautiful calm flushes over you as you tell yourself that you don’t have to because your god will do it for you and to you that means everything that is all the justice that needs to be had in this world i do have to apologize as i said this letter was to be brief but i always find myself going on and on when confronted with you god-defenders i guess that is because you are just so very easy to offend and i must admit it does bring a smile to my face and i need to get every one that i can now, don’t i, that is before i “get what’s coming to me”
