However, he is also presented as an omniscient being, while having interest in a select few individuals. You could, however, make the argument that he needed to have interest in these individuals for people to have faith that he exists through religion spreading. As for god being cruel in the old testament, he was only testing humanity and punishing the wicked. He continues to punish the wicked in the new testament, but not in his godly form. And since christianity, judaism, and islam make almost all of the major world religions, I am confident with the "everything happens for a reason" belief over pure dumb luck. |
Man's image came from billions of years of evolution. And I dont think God (assuming he created the universe) would be made of matter or energy (since he created them) so its hard to think of him as actually having an image anyway. Unless he created matter and energy them molded himself into some form of it, but why would he do that?
Why would God's personality change from Old to New Testament? Wouldnt an all powerful and all knowing being not need to learn from experience?
