GOD VERSUS THE BIBLE
If we hold the idea of God in a very meaningful way, we should honestly and closely examine sources that claim to represent Him/Her.
It shows respect to God and to ourselves. After all, if someone was writing and saying things about you that were derogatory towards your character, and a good friend of yours was aware of it, wouldn't you hope your friend would take a stand on your behalf?
Because the Bible repeatedly portrays God as a crazed killer, a liar, and a jealous fool, it is only just and logical that people who believe in God take His/Her side against the Bible and revealed religion.
One of the best known genocidal acts blamed on God by the Bible is found in Genesis chapters 6-8. In these Biblical chapters God is said to have killed every living thing on earth except Noah and the inhabitants of the ark!
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT!
He killed everyone by drowning! Even the babies and the unborn! What sin could they have committed???
Thank God the Bible is not true!
In the famous Passover story we see God through the depraved minds of the Bible writers personally murdering the first born of everyone in Egypt, even of the animals, to punish Pharaoh for not doing what God himself made impossible for Pharaoh to do. Exodus 11:10 says God “hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.”
Then Exodus 12:29 has God killing the first-born of everyone and everything throughout Egypt at midnight. Deceptiveness is not a trait any sane person would welcome in either themselves or in another. Yet the Bible portrays God as a liar and a deceiver.
In Ezekiel 14:9 God allegedly said that if someone turns to idols and then,“comes to a prophet to inquire for himself of me, I the Lord will answer him myself; . . . And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet . . .”
It then goes on to say in 14:10 that God will kill both the prophet and the person who inquired of God.
In Second Thessalonians 2:11 we read of God deceiving man-kind when they need Him the most - at the end of the age when Jesus makes his come-back. It reads: “Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false.” What kind of loving father is this Judeo-Christian god???
The unbelievably ignorant story of the Tower of Babel is found in Genesis Chapter 11. In it we see the Bible portraying God as a very limited jealous god who confounds the language of the people because the god is afraid they will build a tower that reaches up to heaven and they will have nothing that is unattainable to them. As one of the supporters of the World Union of Deists asked, I wonder how this god feels about the world’s skyscrapers, not to mention NASA?
The true good news is that the Bible is not the word of God!
How could a Creator who is responsible for the beautiful design we see in the Universe and Creation be anything similar to the god of the Bible?
If you want to learn about God don’t look in books written by mankind, but instead look to the Creation which only the Creator could have made.
