Hi
Just recently thinking of instances in Old Testament when Jehovah instructed his people to slaughter animals, women, and even children. If a human being today instructed an army to do this, wouldn't he be convicted of genocide/war crimes???

Did you see the brilliant reasoning in 'God on Trial' a BBC docu/drama?

This 'god' is a slippery customer - a master if disguise. He has thousands of names and identities. He has been retired for 7,000 years only coming out of retirement to have his son murdered. Then there is the problem that no one has ever seen him.
A better idea is to discredit the churches that are still trying to sell this 'god is love' idea. It is past its sell by date and stinks to high heaven.

Well....the ICC does claim Universal jurisdiction........
If he can't be locked up because he's in hiding, then his assets should at least be seized (all church properties), and his wages garnished (all religious donations).

It should be considered.
Rumor has it He is living in Argentina and has grown a long beard.
But having developed the language, reports are his Spanish is great.
