"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?
#7
RE: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?
Redeems us? That goes along the lines of saying he saves us. The question is, from what exactly? He cursed people and the land for being disobeyed by people who didn't know the difference between good and evil. He created a place of fire and torment to throw people in for not worshiping him, and just to make it difficult he requires us to believe without evidence. He makes it as hard as possible to get to him, with people dying en masse over how to interpret the bible, in some views created a pit of fire where you suffer eternally for not saying the right words to the right guy within the right timeframe, and we're supposed to be grateful for something.

It seems like he's the problem. It would be preferable to just get rid of him altogether, but apparently we can't. It all boils down to having to bend the knee to a guy because he's more powerful that you, and you don't have any chice in the matter. Either devote your life to the monster, or piss it off.
