Re: Stephen Fry calls God an ‘evil, capricious, monstrous maniac’.
what makes a christian god any more real or important than the greek gods? or the roman gods? or the egyptian gods? or any other god from any other belief system? likewise, the same can be said for all gods compared to any other.
the difference is, the greek gods, roman gods and egyptian gods (and many others) are now part of mythology. they were let go because belief in them disappeared. the same will happen in time to the christian gods. in the mean time, for those who believe, i'm glad it fills that hole for you. whatever your reasons to believe, it is not my concern. the fact I may not agree does not mean I would tell you not to believe. likewise, just because someone does believe, I would not expect them to force their gods onto me.
that said, if god were a real person, or indeed someone wrote a biography and removed all reference of 'god' but implied a living mortal, Stephen Fry is right. He / She would classed as a maniac. A narcissistic, sadistic, psychopath of epic proportions.
