The God you know and love.. or maybe not

This world was created by a conscious entity we call God correct? This all knowing, all loving, fatherly figure managed to produce an earth full of hatred, racial hate, child labor, famine, poverty, hunger, death, murder, suffering and so on, what kind of God creates this? Here are some interesting quotes from the bible:

Who should we kill? - Homosexuals (Lev.20:13, Rom.1:26-32) -
Adulterers (Lev.20:10, Deut.22:22) -
Disobedient children (Deut.21:20-21, Lev.20:9, Exod.21:15) -
Women who are not virgins on their wedding night (Deut.22:13-21) -
All non-Christians (parable told by Christ - Luke.19:27) -
Those accused of wickedness by at least two people (Deut.17:2-7) -
Anyone who works on the Sabbath (Exod.35:2-3, Num.15:32-6) (not even to kindle a fire, and no exclusion for ambulance drivers)
Women - It is “shameful” for a woman to speak in church (1Cor.14:34-5) -
A man must OK his wife’s words if they are to have force (Num.30:8) -
A woman must not teach or hold authority over a man (1Tim.2:12) -
Lot saves the messengers from the men of Sodom by offering up his virgin daughters to “do to them as you please” (Gen.19:8) -
“Kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourself every girl who has never slept with a man” (Moses - Num.31:17-8)

Slavery - God supports slavery (Lev.25:44-6, Exod.21:2-8, Eph.6:5, Col.3:22) -
Instructions on how to sell your daughter as a slave (Exod.21:7-8) -
When to give your slaves “severe” or “light” beatings (Luke.12:42-8) -
OK to beat slaves only if they don’t die within 2 days (Exod.21:20-1) -
How to mark your slave: drive an awl through its ear (Deut.15:17)
Marriage - It’s best if all people remain unmarried. Marriage is a lesser-of-two- evils compromise for Christians too weak to resist their sexual urges, “for it is better to marry than to burn.” (Paul - 1Cor.7:1-2, 8-9, 25-6, 38) -
The rapist of an unwed woman must buy her and make her his wife (apparently a far more 'holy' union than a genuine, loving same-sex relationship - Deut.22:28-9)

Justice - If a man suspects his wife of cheating he can serve her a cursed drink; if she becomes deformed, then that proves her guilt (Num.5:12-31) -
42 children killed by bears for calling a prophet ‘baldy’ (2King.2:23-4) -
OK to beat your children with a rod - it wont kill them (Prov.23:13-4) -
God commits, orders, or endorses every form of atrocity known to man (pretty much pick a page of the Old Testament at random)
Do the Old Testament laws still apply? - Every “jot” and “tittle” (Christ – Matt.5:17-9)

Here are some more interesting quotations about Jesus Christ
Christ, what a role model…
- Christ tells us we must "hate" our entire family, and even our own life, if we want to be one of His disciples (Luke.14:26)
- Those who abandon their families will be rewarded (Matt.19:29)
- "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother... And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Christ - Matt.10:35-6) -
“I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Christ - Matt.10:34)
- If you don’t have a sword, sell your clothes to buy one (Luke.22:36)
- Curses fig tree for not bearing fruit in off-season (Mark.11:12-4, 20-1)
- Didn’t want to help girl because she was a “dog” gentile (Matt.15:22-8)

Of course there are several good passages in the Bible, the ones that are carefully selected by your minister for Sunday readings. But if you find some chocolate in a pile of dog feces you don’t eat it, right? No. The good is tainted by the bad that surrounds it.

Here is a quote that is something to think about

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Epicurus (341-271 BC)
