A Loving God

[chimp3]

It's common for people to make an attempt at justifying the actions of a God that does not necessarily coincide with their personal morality, or belief of what God should be. There are multiple versions of God, Hell, Heaven, you name it. I'm beginning to think the Bible is nothing more than an ancient 'choose your own adventure' book.

There is no real God. It is an ancient concept that that is no longer relevant.

Well, I do believe in the God of the bible and I, and others, are trying to understand his reasons for doing what he does.  I'm actually not trying to justify his actions since I already believe he is just and loving, but I think it helps to illustrate it to others who don't believe he same way.  It's also good to get feedback from other believers and all those familiar with the bible; all which leads to a better understanding of God.  I respect your opinion, but at this point it would take much more than that to convince me that my experience with God isn't real, plus it adds nothing to my thoughts concerning heaven and hell and God's love, despite his seemingly wrathful actions in the old testament.

So! Do you also think that drowning your children for misbehaving can ever be a good idea? If you cannot tben you are morally superior to God. If so , then your an asshole!
