the so fallible Bible

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Come along John, then I was talking about the reality of a multifaceted, complex interwoven system of structures that contribute (and/or exacerbate) cyclical poverty.

And in this case, if you've read the Bible, you've seen a god with a multifaceted, complex personality - then near the end you drop all that over a 3-word statement.

I've seen nothing of the sort, just a fairy tale about a character that happens to be described as some sort of a deity.

Still, not equatable. The tangibility of one is not up for debate, whilst the other, well, who knows.

Interpretation is key. It's the only thing that one can rely on on the bible. But if you're saying your god only uses love when it sees fit, then I'll take your word for it. Sounds bit like an arsehole, though. Like a father who beats and rapes his child.

I don't know anyone who loves everyone no matter what they do, so I suppose you see all of humanity as a father who beats and rapes his child.

But...surely you're note equating a mortal human being to an infallible, all powerful deity, are you?

I don't know anyone who loves everyone unconditionally either. But then again, I don't know any gods. Which is why your god sounds more and more like a rapist and murderer.
