Knowing everything and allowing evil

First off I think you should look up the definition of rape. It requires forceful sex. That did not happen. On top of that, an angel told marry before hand about her divine plan and she was honored.

Apart from telling a completely different story in Matthew, God never asked if that was what she wanted, he just said "You're it".
As an example if your wife went to her gynaecologist who then impregnated her with his sperm(non-sexually) what would you call it?

Second, your story of Elijah is misinterpreted. He did not curse them because he made fun of his baldness. They said "go on up you bald head." what were they saying? Elijah had gone to heaven so that's what they were refering to. They were saying go on up and take your teachings with you. That's why they were exicuted. That was extreme disrespect and blasphemy.

Oh,well, that makes it all peachy keen then doesn't it.

Sending bears to maul children to death, very wise, very loving, very forgiving.
It appears god holds people to a higher moral standard than he maintains himself.
To be expected from such an outstanding hypocrite.

Nothing to say about gods murderous tantrums in Revelations????

Again, I'm not surprised.

Like I said, marry was honored to have that destiny. She didn't complain.

It was still without her consent, that is at least statutory rape.

As for the 2 bears, there is a bit of a translation problem with it. Some say children the others say youths. The Hebrew word used could mean children but not neccissarily and it's more probable they were teenagers. They could even have been as old as 20. There were more than 42 there and they were waiting there to mock him. The bears killed 42 of them because they showed extreme disrespect and blasphemy. And yes, God is loving and forgiving, but he would not be just if he did not pass judgment.

So you are advocating the death penalty for insulting your god are you?
Because you seem think that killing someone for making fun of some old git is OK.(I bet you long for the good old days when you could burn heretics like me at the stake for questioning your phoney religion)

It doesn't MATTER whether they were children or youths, your loving god MURDERED them(in a most horrific way ) for the heinous crime of heckling.

And that is without going into the millions he has killed or commanded to be killed, men,women and babies.

I did not say anything about revelations because the only thing you imagine to be torture in revelations is the detailed description of hell which I already talked about. Unless you speak of the mardorers who are tortured on christ name in which case the bible claims their reward will be great in the kingdom of heaven. I also didn't comment on it because correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there is a commandment forbidding torture.

I'll bet you don't want to talk about Revelations, your vile god really goes on a murderous rampage there.
And if you think hell is the only mention of torture in revelations then clearly you haven't read it at all.
Your god subjects the living inhabitants of Earth to months of torture and torment for no good reason.
