God of Abraham vs God of Moses (and other gods)
by cameo-d inmany people say that the bible has contradictions.
many find that god seems to be inconsistent in his dictates, and even unjust acording to their own sense of fairness which comes from conscience.. could it be that these contradictions arise because people believe that the bible portrays a one singular true god?
if this were so then there is certainly evidence to be found that this god is neurotic and has a terrible case of ocd, what with all the rituals of "do this three times, then turn toward the east, etc.".

i think the best way to describe it is an exploratory path.
i look at what is around me and i acknowledge it is remarkable.
