Exodus 20
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me.
Just sayin.
What translation is that verse from would be interested to know. Now about the verse God is telling His chosen people that there will be a punishment for making and worshiping false gods and that punishment could go down a few generations because the parents are teaching the childern to hate God by their false worship. God was trying to make it clear to parents that their influence on their childern will have an adverse effect upon them. God says He will not let evil deeds go unpunished so be careful what you teach your childern.

Bullshit, have you even read the bible?

I do read the Bible and I also study it, unlike you I'm sure. Cherry picking has no place in understanding.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
