I'm not disputing that you think a god has revealed himself to you. I am opposed to what that idea does collectively and negatively to other people. I am opposed to implanting un-evidenced supernatural fears and promises into the malleable minds of children. I consider people are more important than vague ideas of one of the gods.
I don’t follow any dictator. Why anyone would love a god is way beyond me. I figure it is the Stockholm-syndrome at work. Love is a two way street and it cannot be forced. If it is, as in your case, it is subservience.
That you are so judgemental about the alleged ‘sins’ of others is quite revealing. It shows arrogance and one that is only justified by imagination. Gosh, you must be frightened out of your skin about supernatural-repercussions.
You have to be told what is right or wrong and that is a very dangerous character flaw.
If your god told you to kill me, would you? (Answer required)
Look up the word nihilism. It roughly means anarchy. Point out where I advocate that. My world view concerns the only world I am ever going to live in. It is a most enjoyable place and I will be sad for it to come to end one day. However, all-encompassing wishing for it to continue is a waste of life. Feel free to do that.
You are overstating a war between creationism and science. A recent survey at the Academy of Sciences showed only 7% of respondents believed in any kind of a god. These are the top-scientists in their fields. The war is in the head of creationists. Better said, a nuisance.
Again, you have a distorted idea of science. If creationists could prove there is another force, even a supernatural one, at work in the universe, mainstream science would love it. Discovery is the name of the game.
You have been told this kind of rubbish with anecdotal stories in support but it is a false picture. Your persecution complex is showing. Many religions rely on persecution thoughts.
