Demiurge in the Gnostic sense? Or is there some broader sense I'm not familiar with there?
So.. your position is that all gods are real according to their own cosmogony, and one of them in particular has pissed you off but the rest just don't rise to the level of being worth the effort of hating? My compliments, that's a pretty interesting position and one I've not seen before.
Well, no, my position is that gods could be real but none of them are worth worshiping.
Then, additionally, if there's some kind of omnipotent and omniscient Creator then it's evil and I hate it.
Ah, fair enough, that makes sense and I generally agree. I have my own beliefs and ideas about personified deities, but I agree, I dunno why some of these deities are even worshiped given their legacy of evil and assholery, so if they do really exist they should absolutely be opposed.
