Christ's birthday

[Craveman]

I still am unclear as to what your point is because the god you are describing here does not appear to be the God of the Bible.

Have you really read the Bible? The God in the Bible is a warmonger, sexist, egotistical, unfair and promotes slavery to name a few. I suggest you go and read the Bible again (especially the OT).

It is true that the God of the Bible is loving and merciful, but He is also just and judge.

This is my point. The God of the Bible is not merciful. A merciful God would not have killed all those people for nothing. It would have made more sense for God to sacrifice his only son earlier instead of drowning all those people. Why the delay?

So the fact that God created hell is not inconsistent with the God of the Bible.

No, it just confirms what a prick he is.

As for the animals, I do not see how this is relevant at all. Have you ever killed anything? A fly, a mosquito, a mouse, an ant? I'm quite sure that a person cannot live to your age and not have done that. Does that make you unloving or immoral? I don't think so.

God killed thousands of animals just because he didn't like the idea that some people sinned and didn't worship him (even though he created them this way). That is not loving and fair so I do think it is relevant.

So I think the problem here so far is not inconsistencies in the Bible but your misconception of who and what the God of the Bible is

You obviously havn't read the Bible properly then. Do so, then we can talk again. Maybe you will come to have the same "misconseptions" as I have.
