A great point of view. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have official word and confirmation from a Christian. God is incompetent.... or just a sadistic bastard. Take your pick.

That is: god is permissive, even to the point of disregarding consequence.

Whereas it could be said that many christians are controlling: making the argument that people must be forced to obey this or that for their own good.

and he really, really doesnt like us knowing anything.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to bring everybody back to Earth and get them a little grounded here by reminding everyone that we are in fact talking about a fictional character from ancient mythology!
