You cannot cherry pick the pleasant things in your bible and continue to ignore the fact that your god murdered thousands of innocent men, women, children and infants. You cannot ignore the fact that your god sent plagues to people and tortured them needlessly. He flooded a whole goddamn planet and wiped out everythingon earth except a select few lucky humans and animals. He's told his believers to kill their own children for his sake.
If you're going to believe that your god is loving then you must also believe your god is a deceiver, is cruel, unfair, biased, narcissistic, a murderer, a proponent of human trafficking, slavery and is misogynistic, along with a whole bunch of other unpleasant things.
If you refuse to believe that, then you are more brainwashed and more far gone than we realize.
And I feel sorry for you.
For the rest of us who actually live in reality, we are the fortunate ones who will never have to experience the evilness that is your "god".
Do you understand the narrative of the Bible? Since you made your statement above I don't think you do. The entire law was a "schoolmaster" to let the jews know that you can't fulfill the law without the spirit of God. It is a tool to bring about humility. So that we can see that we are a sinners in need of grace from God. That grace came through the cross when Jesus died for our sins. Now that I have accepted God I am under the law of the Spirit. I have new desires and those desires move me toward the things of God. Also I have already talked about slavery you are assuming that the slavery spoken about in the laws was the same as those around Judaism and or in America past or even today.
You shouldn't lie to yourself and misread the Bible and create a false god to disbelieve in, it won't save you. I believe and know the true and living God. He isn't like us and your small thoughts about Him will not bring Him down, but instead it will keep you enslaved to your sin and self delusion.
So like I said to Redbeard your belief system can't explain reality, it can't give you worth, it can't give you objective truth. You pretend that you understand reality. Your system is shallow and will not be able to support you when you truly need real answers about the heard and difficult question you have. You are blindly following everyone else around pretending that one day you will not have to give an account for you actions. God is gracious actually He is rich in grace. The fact that you have the opportunity to type your blasphemous words about Him shows His kindness. Play the game if you wish but it will cost you your soul. Pretend to be more enlightened than I am but it will not save you. Only God can.
