Can a xtian god be free?

My sincere apologies Zenith... for the lateness of reply.

To be honest with you I sat and read the KJV Old testement as a novel some time back and was astounded that most of it is just porn, rape & mysoginism. I have not touched the book since. All I can do is direct you to the Old Testement or Torah

I hope these may provide some insight for you.

Don't worry. I am also usually busy and can't answer too quickly (perhaps the next day I would reply will be the next week). As long as you reply and I get notified by email, I would answer you back.

To be honest with you, I sat and read the Old Testament too (in my language, I can't understand many words in KJV even now, but I think some words have changed their meaning in time, and I don't believe in a perfect translation) and I did find sadism, rape (If I remember well, there was a son of David that raped his sister - it appears that she was not a daughter of his father or of his mother), unfair things, polygamy (though it's funny that the Western world forced monogamy as it christianized). The fact is that, if in the Bible all people were presented as "good", as doing only "good" and "holy" things, or people that do "only good" versus people that do "only bad", and how "good" wins, I would have called it a fairytale from the start. But the very fact that people are presented doing bad things, makes their story sound plausible.

My idea was a commandment in the Bible to teach beating the wife or child molestation, because I'm 100% certain that there is no commandment like that. If you are really interested in continuing this discussion, google about it, perhaps you find something that 'escaped' me. As about misogyny, I know that bad treatment of women happens in the christian world (preachers always talking about the obligations of women and how they should be like, but never talking about how husbands should be, etc.), but we're not talking about people, we're talking about commandments (and alike), in the bible.
