It's not a contradiction at all. I can't think of any reason why we should have any influence over an all knowing, all seeing omnipotent being.

Can you think of a reason to question omnipotence?

I'm not complaining about it, because I'm not a theist and don't see evidence for its existence. I'm just observing the fact that if such a celestial dictatorship existed, it would be authoritarian.

Tying this in with your post #479, it’s clear you mean to say that your dislike for the authority of God explains the one category of belief—the category defined as an ethical rejection of God.

As distinct from your factual rejection of God.

The question really is: which came first, your ethical rejection of God or your factual rejection of him?
