God is love. God is just. God is merciful.
#1
God is love. God is just. God is merciful.
These are claims that the bible and quran make, right? But the ations of this god don't seem to line up with most modern audience's opinion of those words. If he was just a person, and did the kind of things to other people that he does in the bible, he'd be called evil. I have been told that he's not a person, yet if we can't compare him to anything, how do we tell he is good?

How do religious people define love, justice, and mercy. Given the actions of this god, how do you tell if he really is these things? For every verse about loving your neighbor as yourself, there's a verse about hating yourself and everyone you would normally care about. Turn the other cheek, yet take up a sword? Don't kill, but execute anyone who doesn't worship Yahweh? Punish the Egyptians for enslaving the Jews, but allow the Jews to enslave everyone else?

I'd like to know how you define the virtues this deity claims to have, and why you think he actually has them.
