Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

And having created the cosmos with its physical laws, the wizard got busy with the really important stuff: foreskins, dietary rules, schematics for a temple he knew would be destroyed, and making plot notes on a strange, arbitrary, hard-to-believe salvation scheme he thought would be fun to foist on certain animals in his creation with rewards for the dullards who buy it and punishment for those who don't. Then he invented stand-up comedy. 
Abusive Jesus.

If I tell my child not to do a thing, and I make him aware of the consequences, if he does it it is his fault for disobeying me. Yeah, and if you told your child that he/she could have slaves and you told your child that they could beat them as long as they didn't die within a day or two, then who would be the immoral one? It would be you! Just because you give someone commands with consequences doesn't mean that you are doing something moral.

Christians are inherently authoritarians, and their so-called morality, in the end, comes down to "might makes right" and "obey without question". Of course, they won't acknowledge that they are authoritarians or that they subscribe to "might makes right" because they wipe their asses with the Hebrew Bible whenever it suits them and because of the kinder, gentler moral commandments they like to focus on (golden rule, etc.) -- in addition to the fact that the dictator they bow down to is not mortal (or even something they can demonstrate exists).

Many still do defend this evil god, so why don't they mimic him? Maybe because they think it is immoral (and dishonestly defend god, while knowing that god knows they are dishonestly defending him).. Probably. They can choose to be a cunt like the father, the son.. who is better but still a cunt, or the mystery holy ghost. Not great options for a role model, let alone, someone to worship.

So it sure seems like people can judge him whenever they want to and crucify him as well.(October 3, 2015 at 4:17 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: The Bible says that people will judge angels so why wouldn't they also judge god, who made angels? If I judge an angel as being bad then I'm also judging God for being evil because he allowed the angel's bad behavior. And God has a lot of evil angels so God himself is evil.

God does not tempt man. He didn't lay a trap so that Adam and eve would sin. He gave them a choice and they chose wrong even when they were warned. |
