Why "mysterious ways" don't matter.

[Chad32]

Yeah, the mysterious ways argument is as much of a dodge as anything. It stems from the believe that Yahweh is supposed to be perfect. He's not allowed to make mistakes, so any action that would obviously be considered evil if committed by anyone else must be excused. You're misinterpreting the scriptures. he doesn't really condone slavery. Those tribes he drowned were descendents of demon/human hybrids. He doesn't throw people into hell. People choose hell. Nevermind why a lake of fire would exist as the only other place you would go if you don't worship him.

He's very mysterious, and seems more likle a failure than anything else. He continuously fails to accomplish what he has apparently set out to do, but we need to choose him anyway because he's the only option we have. Supposedly.
