I read the Bible entirely and I study in the past with jw, but I have many questions and doubts about god. (sorry for my english)
Is god a god of love? In Judges chapter 20, I found that Benjamin tribe protect to criminal men. Then the rest of Israel go to do justice and request the help of god, but god after left that 40000 man of israel tribe died (int two lost), he says "now I will give the victory"?
why god not give the victory inmediately and save 40000 innocently lifes that want justice?
Far from it, the God of the bible is a genocidal, homophobic, misogynistic, ignorant, low life scumbag. But hey! what do you expect? He was created in the image of ignorant men......
Hi TR99.
Have you ever looked on this site: http://www.evilbible.com/ ? It supports what you and cantleave said, and gives even more examples.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." - Richard Dawkins

Looks like jehovah's old enemy ...satan, didn't kill anyone!
But as you can see from reading the bible ... god killed hundreds of thousands!

Hang around and keep up to date.

God, by whatever name you call him, in the Bible has a split personality, one book (the old testament) jealous, angry, spiteful and homocidal and then in the New Testament when jesus pops up all kindness and compassion. Christian sects therefore can chose which God to empahsize and we know which way the WBTS went cos I think they figured fear is the best motivator. Islam also has humanist and jihadist (aggresive/intolerant)strains and it depends on which bit is emphasized as to how believers behave.
AndDontCallMeShirley Your quote is from The God Delusion. I am reading that book at this very time. Dawkins shines a refreshingly bright beam of light on the antics of religious believers and their duplicity.

I think Jesus was just as much an egomaniac as his old man. "Like father like son".
Can not remember the name of the comedian,but he
stated, "maybe God calm down after the birth of his
son he was out of control in the OT".

mP:
Explain why jesus tells us to pay taxes and be a good obesident slave many times, but never condemns slavery a single time, inplicitly or explicitly?
