Why is god such a shlemiel?
Since you seem familiar with the text, why not quote the passage that seems to represent your view best?
Then we will have something a bit more specific to discuss.
Easy enough. A minor example of the problem.
Quote:10 Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying,
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night.
1 Sam 15
How come your 'god' didn't know that Saul would disobey...disobey btw in not murdering everyone that fucking god wanted murdered.
Shouldn't an omniscient god have a clue?
