[KingAlveus]

The "God" of the Old Testament is arguably the most UNPLEASANT character in all of fiction; Jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

*thunder cracks*

So that's what you think of god.

Yeah.

Richard Dawkins.

[DimensionsofChange]

I prefer the New Testament myself.

This video is amazing. Who couldn't agree that a first reading of the Old Testament could cause many people to label God in the very way this video does? The Bible isn't for unbelievers; it's for believers. It's for those who know that God doesn't make sense (as in what we think of as "sense") AND that He doesn't have to. This video drive home the point that "fear is the beginning of wisdom". For some (or most?) "seeing is believing"; but the reality is that believing is seeing.

Whats bad about this video is that original audio was much funnier and would have made the same point.

@Josho4096 Nah the book of Job is where God is trying to prove that Job will be his faithful servant no matter what, so he basically kills Jobs cattle and family and such, burns his house down and gives him a bunch of diseases to see if he will still worship him

@jdlhnewhh OK, fine.

[jdlhnewhh]

@Megan64fan But the fact remains that they were genocidal for the sake of their religion. That's fine if one is strong enough; I accept that. Just don't go acting all holier than thou if someone tries it on you, or pretend that God adheres to some high code of fine morals. His goodness is arbitrary at best.

@KingAlveus Richard Dawkins said that. I knew that before watching the video where the voiceover is done.

[Megan64fan]

@jdlhnewhh The reason that they killed them was that if they spared them, they would continue worshipping their gods and the Israelites would be tempted to worship their gods as well.
