This link got quoted earlier, seemingly in an attempt to disrupt my claim about the Isiah verse: http://www.gotquestions.org/Isaiah-45-7....z3ELMxidPC
This looks like an apologetic site, and it says that "evil" could be a mistranslation. (Unreliable bible, again.) It says that in Hewbrew god could instead be bringing one of, "adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery." Well, that's not much of a counter since all of those things are clearly not omnibenevolant actions.
Yeah the weird thing is, I could understand the bible being put forth as some amazing book if it actually was amazingly good, as in moral. But it isn't. God is about the least moral character I could possibly imagine. It is much more likely satan wrote the book and portrayed himself as god. Could anyone tell the difference I wonder? Also it is incomprehensibly stupid, riddled with contradictions, filled with known forgeries and after-the-fact edits, filtered by men via a vote... it's about the least convincing thing I could imagine. I really don't get why it has such a hold over people. (Indoctrination, mainly, I guess.)
