But that is still no justification for the things god has done in the bible or for the eternal punishment promised there.
Can a parent who beats his child to a pulp, burns him with a clothes iron, deprives him of food and locks him in a closet for three days justify himself because the child disobeyed him?
Your god is supposed to be more not less good. He’s supposed to have higher principles.
Yet, you and your bible do everything in your power to show that he has no principles beyond might makes right.
Our jails are full of people who think nobody understands them.
Were the people who received this evil abuse from God in the bible better or worse off for having received this treatment?
