God Is Evil

[Cinjin]

Until recently (the last few years or so) I always felt that the false god of the bible was, of course a narcissistic douche bag, but at least he did actually represent the "good" where good and evil are recognized as opposite forces. I just sort of figured that his massive shortcomings were the result of being created by flawed, uneducated humans. I no longer feel this way. No one can get this kind of a pass for being such a horrible being.

Working from the ridiculous premise that the Bible is actually true I can only conclude the following: God is pure evil.
God is the source of evil. God even prefers evil. He perpetuates evil. God is the bad guy, and evil won.




He created the tree in the garden. (Creation of evil)
He created Lucifer, knowing full well that he would become the Devil. (Perpetuation of evil)
He didn't destroy the Devil, he put him on earth to introduce us to tons of evil. (God likes evil)
He wanted man to fall (as Drich has pointed out often) so as to continue pushing evil like a drug dealer.

On an on he went through history doing horrific things when he always knew the outcome: Abraham sacrificing his own son. The condoning of slavery and severe brutal tortures and killings for ridiculous rules. The condoned raping, forced abortions, and killing of countless women and children. Drowning the entire planet, only to rebuild it with NO changes made. On an on it goes right down to the fact that it was all still never enough - so he made hell to make sure that he can perpetuate evil throughout eternity. He made hell!! Can there be a being more evil than that??

No.
God is evil. Apologists and halfwits simply assigned him the title of "good" and then act indignant when you call his actions what they actually are.

You might as well assign me the title of Saint. It has just as much legitimacy ... maybe more, because at least I haven't killed anyone and I don't want to burn anyone with a blowtorch simply on the grounds that they've never met me and told me they loved me.


I submit that there is no greater evil than the god of the bible.

[My imaginary friend is GOD]

Agreed. Let's drink to that.

One of my very first arguments with my pastor was the story where god told everyone that they are not allowed to touch the ark. The ark was falling down and 2? Huys tried to stop it. God killed them (I do not remember the passage)

Me: That's mean.
Pastor: They disobeyed God
Me: But that's mean. They were just trying to help. If it were not for them the ark (arc?) would have been destroyed!
Pastor: Well, God said that if thy touched it they would die. He couldn't go back on his word.
Me: I sometimes say I will kill people when I'm angry. Does that mean that I have to kill them?

As you can imagine, the story of Noah went down even less well.

Yes, he is evil.

Edit: I am a tiny bit drunk and don't think the word ark was the correct one. If someone could help me out that would be great

His evil is matched only by his nonexistence, IMO.

[Captain Colostomy]

I'm content to say he's nonexistent.

But playing along, I would say he/she/it is deeply, truly flawed. The sociopathic attributes some goat humper added to his resume have really been detrimental to his perceived creation down to the present. A twisted 'beginning' that still gets twisted.

Yeah...you could say 'evil' even.

He's good... at killing people! Hahahahaha!!

Hmmm, maybe I should get him to play battlefield with me

[Doubting Thomas]

He created Hell in which to punish sinners for eternity.

He then set up a system designed to make humans fail to obey him, thus punishing them just for being human.

He then convinces a lot of them that they deserve no better because they're lowly humans, he's almighty God, and he created them.

He then gives people brains with which to discover and use the scientific method, and then punishes them for using it because what they discover goes against what is written in his holy book.

God is a totally evil monster.

Oh, don't worry; "ark" was used correctly. Noah had an ark, and so did Moses. And so did Indiana Jones.

[CleanShavenJesus]

If I were to read the Bible as if it were a fiction novel, I'd definitely see God as a manipulative evil. And since the poll asked about the God of the bible, I will go with yes, he is evil.

As for God in general outside the Bible, I don't know if I would consider him either "good" or "evil", because it's difficult to judge something that doesn't even exist.

The only way this character as described could not be evil, but just do stupid shit, would be if it were not all powerful. But since it is, then it can only be considered an evil prick.
