Why did god only make exactly the number of talking animals that he needed?

Yes, it's common sense. If one person murders and another sees it and doesn't stop it, most people are going to hold the actual murderer more at fault. It's fascinating that atheists try to make Satan out as less at fault, or even the hero of the account.

No god = no satan, so some random guy from the past is just fine, instead of screwed with by the boogy man. 

Just like to fuck with the man made fantasy guys, alpha. That you believe it's real makes you such delusional wieners. However, if you need that to make it through life, OK by me, just take it elsewhere.

Yeah, that's not really the case with Job's family. It's more like a Mafia contract killing, with Satan as the hitman and God as Don Dios, ordering the hit. The law would find them equally culpable, with potential extenuating circumstances for Satan - if you are coerced into performing a heinous act, you're not fully at fault.

Except God didn't order it, and Satan wasn't coerced. 

[Angrboda]

Isn't this God of yours supposed to be omniscient, alpha? If so, he knew and abetted all of Satan's actions prior to creating him.

[vorlon13]

That particular God is also alleged to be eternal and unchanging.

Curious, however, is how much just in my lifetime main stream fundamentalist ideology has evolved.


Either it's all made up bullshittery, or God has increasingly severe dementia.

[KUSA]

bold mine

And that's what makes god a dick.

If god is bad for protecting Job from Satan but then temporarily removing the protection, isn't Satan worse for wanting to inflict Job in the first place? Seems like common sense.

It doesn't matter. God is a cock sucker for giving Satan permission to kill his family and all the other horrible things he did.

[Cyberman]

Yes, it's common sense. If one person murders and another sees it and doesn't stop it, most people are going to hold the actual murderer more at fault.

Possibly, however it doesn't absolve the onlooker of blame for not doing anything to help. And if the onlooker is a god, with all the power that goes with the job, that culpability ramps off the charts.

Would Suoerman still be considered a good guy if he stood by and did nothing while some crime was committed? How many murders and rapes do you have to watch happen before you officially lose your superhero badge?

Job 1:12.

[Pat Mustard]

All throughout the bible satan acts as yhwh's most hardworking, most loyal servant, doing all jobs asked no matter how shitty.

Yeah uhhh....no.

Everything satan did in the bible was at yhwh's behest. As a christian, I'd have thought you knew this through reading your own holy book.

Must be an a la carte, just like with your allegiance to democracy.

---

uh...yeah.  Tempting Eve, torturing poor old Job, tempting Jesus.  Satan got every shit task available.

Boru

He wasn't asked to do them. In the case of Eve(1) and Jesus(2), he did it on his own. In the case of Job, he actually had to ask god for permission(3).

1 Eve wasn't satan, that was the talking snake, which yhwh himself created. The conflation of the talking snake and satan is an artifact of Milton.
2 Satan tempted Yeshua because he was ordered to by yhwh as a test for Yeshua.
3 Thus proving my point that satan did everything at yhwh's bequest.

[CapnAwesome]

One to destroy all of humanity and one talking ass. it wasn't the : cause the devil wasn't a thing when the snake fed them, God made a snake that talked just to fuck shit up. 

I don't know about the ass I actually just googled "how many talking animals are in the bible?" 2. But why??? 

I feel like this question is more important and I haven't seen anyone else bring it up. It's driving me crazy.

He didn't. God isn't real and parrots are the only animals that talk.
