I also find it funny that people think God had no right to kill off what he considered evil and give Israel things. Or punish kings and the Jews themselves when they slipped up. |
I wasn't going to bother posting again in this thread, and I do apologize in advance for my assumption: I couldn't help but feel that your post was direceted toward me (among others obviously).
Firstly, the condescending tone is very much unappreciated.
Secondly, many of us are simply applying our values to what he had done. What else are we supposed to judge it by? They are our values, afterall. If I had believed in a god that had created autonomous, free-willed people then took some of said people - innocent people, and traded them off as property, then I would reject that god.
It's not that I think God had no right to do what he did, I simply don't believe he exists and that if he had, it'd be an awfully contradicting thing he had done (not anything akin to a benevolent being). To me, it'd be like jailing Tiger Woods' wife for him cheating on her.
I'm finished with the thread now though, so feel free to have the last word.
