You state that you forgive perceived failings, do you perceive failings in your god? If god has power, he can defend himself far more adequately than you can. If you love a woman that becomes upset when people speak harshly to her for her own actions, words, and writings, do you then follow her around striking back at those that do not appreciate her? Or a better analogy, if this woman has a fan club that consistently assaults anyone who differs or disagrees, is it your job to defend her when she can simply say that this fan club does not speak for her?
