The only part where he seems to be getting pleasure is at the beginning. He build the Universe and says “This is looking mighty fine”.
Quote:There are 0 jokes in the Bible.Couldn't be more wrong. There are zingers like the parable of the strange woman. Punchline being why should I feed the dogs before people? You're not reading it right.
Quote:There is poetry but that isn’t poetry written by the jewish god.Kills people in silly and painfully contrived ways. It seems like you believe a being cant be both jolly and murderous. We can.
It gets so serious that he kills people, does genocides, globacides and sends his only son to be killed.
Quote:His goal seems to be to save as many people as possible with the New testament. The goal seems to be to go around the world and preach the good news.No and no, that's just you, just your culture. A dry reading of the nt is a some will some wont mlm.
Quote:This doesn’t seem to be a joke. It looks like the jewish god/Jesus combo takes it seriously.Well, it's a joke....and even or especially if you take the stories seriously - but that's just the way mere reality is, you see?
Having faith in him is taken seriously, by him.
Quote:I hope I was able to get my point across with the above observation + examples.
In my view, there is no room for pleasure and wasting time. God is in the serious business of saving lives. Think of it as a hospital.
Hope my explanations helped to clear things up.
It only clears up that you hold the thing I'm asking about - I wonder why you, as a non believer, have precisely these expectations of the divine?
Why can't or wouldn't a god be having a go at you (and all of humanity) for the pure lelz? Does the universe you observe look like a thing someone fucking with you would come up with? If it does...and with a "that's the way it was done in this universe" caveat in place.....what action by a god is bizarre, and which... if any... of your expectations of a god... aren't?
As an example, let's say some nt only believer recounts to you how, according to the stories, god wandered around aimlessly turning puddles of washwater into alcoholic beverages. "That's bizarre!" you exclaim. Okay, what, specifically...tellin me you don't prefer liquor to laundry?
