Not sure of too many other opinions I've directly heard, but what kind of belief do you want to hear more of? (I know I said I heard more dismissive/excusive beliefs, but I don't remember them in any representative fashion; it was thankfully years and years ago!)

    I'm just struggling with my own slow process of discarding faith and found the arguments useful... I don't have a particular direction or anything

    Ahh I see. Yea, it's a whole whirlpool of ad-hoc and circular logic... It always boils down to, "It's correct because I was told it's correct!".

    I can understand community and wanting to be a good person, but there is SO much garbage piled on top...

    Maybe one where god is plainly evil, and other similar to the last one: it was only a creator that put things in motion and it's long gone now.

    The old Cainites, Cathars, Marcionites, and other similar Gnostic sects quite directly believed God was the bad guy. (or at least the physical world and its creator; it gets weird in some of them...)

    Lots of variations on why and who and bla...
