My kids saw through the crap long before I did. I have 2 boys a couple of years apart, and when they were young there was the normal sibling rivalry and occasional rough-housing/fights. Anyway when breaking up a fight, I tried to instill in them the sense that violence is not the way to accomplish anything, better to come and see Dad and let him sort the problem out. Don't use violence.Then...at night I would read them from the My Book Of Bible Stories. And one night my kid asks me "Dad, if violence is not the answer, why does Jehovah use violence in every story here to sort out the problem?"God has a problem with Adam so he kills him. He has a problem in Noahs time, so he kills everybody. Jezebel he kills. I think every damn story in that book ends up with God killing somebody or everybody.
And from that point on I knew the Bible was crap. And if God really existed he was hopeless. "Got a problem? Lets kill everybody".So even if God exists, he is a total dimwit and someone I wouldn't bother giving the time of day too, far less worshipping him.The Pope
