Just cutting through the chaff, there.If prohibiting 5-year-old humans from drinking alcohol while allowing adults to do so is a double standard, then yes, double standards are part of my ideal type for humans as well as god. Do you disagree?
However you fail to address why a omnipotent god would have to resort to genocide in the first place. And secondly
why is it the reasons he gives in the bible are just racism?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
