I'm not angry at god. I'm also not angry at Huck Finn, Captain Ahab, or Odysseus. It's a silly waste of time to try being angry at fictional characters. The only difference between the three I list and the one you did, is that no one slaughters, rapes, maims, steals from, condemns, etc., other people because they believe that Huck or Ahab told them to. I didn't call lee ridiculous, I called my interpretation of his idea ridiculous. An idea that is put forth in a discussion group may be bolstered, torn up, rounded upon, elevated, etc..
