    So, when a Shinto practitioner worships the animist spirit which he believes resides within Mt. Fuji, so that the crops he’s growing at its base might yield a fruitful harvest, that’s the same thing as “Sky Daddy” theology?

    When an adivasi Hindu gets small pox and she believes that the affliction is her communing with the goddess Sītala, is that the same thing as “Sky Daddy” theology?

    When a Wiccan performs a ritual to the Horned God who is a god of hunting, the underworld, (and is himself a mediator between an unknowable supreme deity and the people) so they might have a successful fishing trip. Is that “Sky Daddy” theology?

    When a Muslim theologian says that, “God is completely different from whatever comes to your mind concerning Him” and that the nature of God is incomprehensible to human minds. Is that “Sky Daddy” theology?

    I looked it up like you told me to. And none of this sounds very “Sky Daddy” to me

        You wanna elaborate on that, bucko?

        You clearly aren’t a very curious person, but I am, and I’m having fun. All of those are “Sky Daddy” theologies? How so? Define “Sky Daddy” theology. What’s a possible argument one could make for these theological positions not being “Sky Daddy”?

        Remember to answer every part of the essay question, or you won’t get full points!

            Oooh, didn’t answer any of the questions I asked. That’s a big fat Zero on your exam!

            If you’re so right, you’re still welcome to prove it to me. But I actually did look it up, and it seems like you’re wrong ¯\(ツ)

            I really hate people like you. Willfully ignorant dipshits who think they’re so smart. What? Just because they don’t believe in God? You have the intellectual depth of a puddle, and the curiosity of a dead rat.

            These “New Atheist” types aren’t out here, because they actually care about not believing in God, they care about upholding western imperialism. Dipshits like you were sold the War on Terror with vague appeals to a liberal atheism that upholds so-called “western values”, and they all ate it up, hook line and sinker, until every New Atheist dipshit was standing side-by-side with evangelical freaks who believed that war in the Middle East would bring about the rapture.

            Maybe you should take your own advice and “look it up”. Gain some curiosity about the world before you’re duped into the next imperial blood bath
