    Do you know that you’re cherry picking from the bible just as much as some christians? (It’s not my god btw, my soul ends with my life at some point)

      I picked verses from the Bible as supporting examples, yes. What other text would you expect me to cite? The Bhagavad Gita?

      If you’re referring to the fact that there are other verses in the Bible that would contradict these, that’s an entirely separate discussion of its own that I’m not interested in having in this thread. Yeah, the Bible is hugely self-contradictory. But it’s supposed to be the “divinely inspired word of God,” so I’d advise you take that issue up with their schizophrenic sky-daddy.

      Read the Bible, old testament god is a pretty vile character.

      Humans too wicked? kill everyone, even all the animals just to make sure (except those that can fit on the incest cruiseline).

      They have too much sex in those cities? smite them.

      Amalek? Kill all children and rape the girls

      Joseph was bullied by his brothers? send him to help Egypt to enslave all his “chosen people”. then kill a massive amount of Egyptian children to free them again (instead of just killing the Pharao, that would have been more effective).

      New testament god has a different vibe, but it’s also from an entirely different religion.
