I think when humans can effectively, on their own, be moral and upright, and show mercy and compassion, and actually do what is right, then maybe there will be able to be in a place to try to say God of the Old Testament is evil, and question this and that. Why do I say this? Simply because the human mind, and all its schemes, has failed to produce any sort of system that cares for the weak and the powerless, and also doesn't become tyranical. We can say that modern society is the pinacle of being moral, but is it? Look at the STD rate in certain populations of American society. Look at the state of discontent also about. And you want me to give you some chuckles? Check out the reactions to this video by the ICP:
It is called "Miracles". And guess the backlash it generated by people out there, and the mock and ridicule it generated. Pure bile, because of ONE line it says about scientists, and asked how magnets worked (saying we really don't know). You see, in this modern and secular society, you are NOT to question the limitations of science. You are NOT to be religions. You are not to see wonder in the mundane. You are also not to question the high priests who are the architects all around us, that being the scientists. Nope, don't do it, you will be subject to ridicule. And all along, no one can figure out why people can't be happy, and why the use of drugs for mood management is at an all-time high. Nope, just reduce men to machines, and determinstic processes, and figure it out. And then have it so that you have a welfare system that is less humane than the DMV clean up all the abandoned humanity and medicate them into silence.
Anyhow, once people figure this all out, and people then can understand how things work and do it in reality, then maybe one can begin to make sense out of what went on in the Old Testament.
