Yeah, good point Thor. This god of theirs is something of a shmuck.
And then....
but alas....
Why did not this allegedly all-knowing god know that Saul would fuck up before he appointed him?
And further...
In 1 Samuel 16 "god" says of "David"...
Yeah...but he turned out to be a putz, too.
Strike three for the supposedly all-knowing 'god' who always seems to pick people who fuck up.
Before you get your nuts twisted, d-q, whining about free will remember that this has nothing to do with free will. You claim your god knows all. Why then is he always surprised and disappointed and angry when the men he picks turn out to be fuck ups?
Your god has all the managerial skills of an assistant manager at Burger King.
Quote:Numbers 20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
And then....
Quote: 1 Samuel 9:17
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
but alas....
Quote:1 Samuel 15:10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.”

Quote:2 Samuel 12 7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
