So Obviously the Bible and god ways are full of evil deeds, and EVIL agenda
Slaves, murders and much more

Some Religious person would say,
Yeah but think of a child that sees a doctor cutting a man legs to save his life.
So like us the child lack of understanding the big picture.


Please give smart way to explain this comparison

Thanks

No a better analogy if you are going to speak about the actions of a God if it were a doctor would be more like Josef Mengele. Sets up the camp, forces you into it without your permission, and puts the hazards in the camp he did not have to put there in the first place, then blames you the victim for what he didn't have to allow in the first place, on top of torturing you for no good reason other than he can.

According to believers, nothing happens that god does not want happening so who would be to blame for it even getting to that point? Did the man set out saying "hey I want to have my legs broken".

The threat/bribe motif of the bible is written like that because in all religions back then mortality rate was high and polytheists and monotheist ruling class held the power and attributed that power to divinity. And back then the tribe depended on the most being lock step.

God/s are human invented characters reflecting our real desire for control over our environments. Our species has more opportunity to survive when they control resources. God is a really horrible invention as a concept because it reflects our species narcissism.

God is like an abusive spouse as the character is written.

Part 1 "Be a good Hebrew and no one gets hurt"

Part 2. "Ok I wont hit you anymore"

Part 3. "I lied, fuck anyone who didn't kiss my ass".
