In this book God is guilty of the gratuitous killing of human beings, the wanton destruction of property, the unjustified assault on job's person, and a hideous display of his own egotism and conceit---all for the sole purpose of winning a bet with the Devil. The fact that God later restored Job's wealth does not erase the reality of his crimes. The fact that Job lacked the moral courage to stand erect and shout, "J'accuse!" at his tyrant deity does not vindicate God's immoral behavior either.
Your God is about as full of love as Hitler.
You are a perfect example of how religion and faith debilitate the mind and unfit it for honest thinking.
Job 42
Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Religion is a killer. I can link you to my killing by my religion. But my links are blocked. I thought they might see that they are in fact according to their rules just evidence. Like here. But seems they don't understand. So you will have to ask for them and maybe that will help.
In fact you will meet with it here with Abaddon with us. And you will have a witness about how religion "killed me".
Nope. That didn't come until after Job's family and servants had been murdered, his person assaulted and his property laid waste by God's sanction---all so God could win a bet with the Devil. God was clearly guilty of crimes against humanity. The tyrannical deity then tells Job he is nothing more than an insignificant worm and has no right to question a being who is immensely powerful and righteously aloof of his subjects' suffering whenever it suits him, simply because he is so powerful. Might makes right! Your apologetics are nonsensical.
