god sat around timelessly for eons then one day decides to create this vast cosmos and on one little tiny itsy bitsy teensy weensy speck of it, create intelligent life condemned to hell for all eternity if they do not worship their creator.
Now, is that really ridiculous?
Oh but dear, you know the story doesn't go like that. We have to keep our critique true to what the book actually says without superimposing reality onto a perfectly good tale.
According to the Bible, there was no cosmos. There was the Heavens, where god lives and the Earth where man lives. And rather than being small, the Earth was a huge job with the sun and moon right here in the Earth's atmosphere so they wouldn't get lonely.
When you look at it that way, it's not so ridiculous. It's not be true, but it's not ridiculous.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
