I find it absolutely hysterical that you don’t see the flaw here:

Hi Boru,
The Bible story is full of human flaws, but not divine flaws. Jesus tells us to “be perfect like God”. It’s a big call. But striving to achieve it is the only way to happiness.
What an ignorant idiot. The children who were abused by your clergy would had FAR FAR happier lives without you church.
AND in fact, your Catechism makes allowances for anyone who honestly follows their conscience, and stay away from your organized cult.
There is no evidence that Catholics are any happier than Buddhists or anyone else. What do you take us for ? Sheeple ?
In fact, agnostic atheists, Chinese Tao mysticism, St. John of the Cross,(Dark Night of the Soul), St. Theresa of Avila, (the Interior Castle), the English Medieval mystic (the Cloud of Unknowing),
and Medieval and modern Benedictine/Cistercian (infused contemplation, see Thomas Merton) ALL end up practically, in the very same place. Some day, you should study yourself some beligion.
Actually there are divine flaws, ... lots of them.
The god in the OT keeps making covenants that will last forever, then, oops they don't.
He creates beings that are flawed ... a perfect being should be able to get it right, doncha think.
The angels "fell", but nothing needed, they don't get redeemed. They go to hell.
Then the ancient angry deity needs to send his son to die, so he can feel better, despite being "merciful".
He creates a whole race, then is sorry he did it, and tries to drown all nis new pets.
The gods in the NT are supposed to answer prayers said in Jebus' name.
Never happens. Such a lame excuse for a religion.
You can't actually think that a Jesus (if there was one) would approve of the clergy parading around in high-priced red silk dresses,
and fish-lip hats, like the god Dagon wore, do you ?
(I do admit I have some red socks I got at the store in Rome where the cardinals buy their dresses). They're *fabulous*.
There's a reason why 10 % of Amerians are ex-Catholics.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
