Zen it was neither Good nore Evil just human.
EvF and Welsh . That's making a little more sense now. So the acts attributed to God in the Bible's OT are in line with an "evil dictator". I can agree with that. My problem is with the constant examples of allowances. ex. I passed out food to the homeless and gave them jobs over the holidays to make some money. According to some, because they were forced to stand in a line and because it wasn't all inclusive, that was evil. I should have fed more people and I should have come to them? I don't see where requiring something for something and giving it out in an orderly fashion is evil or contrary to how the laws of this universe work. From within the confines of this universe and plane of existance, effect requires cause. I don't think the cause of submission is, in and of itself, evil when good or evil is based solely off of intent and perception. I attribute the causes of suffering to humankind not God. Power and intellegence assumes attributes of God. perhaps he did all he needed to in the begining and we just don't see the reason or justification, more precisely the end result, of his intent.
