Gods supposed perfection

A Perfect Carpenter doesn't build a shoddy cabinet.

Often we want God to be how we want Him to be, act how we want Him to act, so as to serve our wills. We want to create a God in our image. This is the perspective of humanism interpreting scripture, namely "It should be all about ME, all for MY benefit." Well, who are you oh man that you should.....

It's not about what we want; it's about what words mean. Perfect has a meaning: flawless.

However, your god is very clearly flawed, and his own behavior in Genesis is a tacit admission of it. I mean, he made humans, and then realized that the vast majority of them were so flawed as to be beyond even his powers to redeem, so he killed all but seven of them.

That is your god saying, "Gee, I fucked up. I'd better start over."

Should a child ever question his parents? Yes. Should a creation ever question his creator, if that was possible? Yes. I know those verses are meant to be rhetorical, and the implied answer is no, but I say the obvious answer should be yes. We should always question, because that's how we gain knowledge and progress as a species.
