If God was actually real, would he have any right to...

"The Bible says, "Thou shalt not murder," yet God says to Joshua, "Go in and clean house, and don't leave anything breathing! Don't leave a donkey, child, woman, old man or old woman breathing. Wipe out Jericho."

Also I wasn't talking about killing babies in a flood, I meant the whole "kill the first born" thing. Though yeah the flood definitely killed babies too. There is a lot of baby blood on it's hands.

Also drowning is a horrible way to die. Yes it's true as God it could have killed them painlessly but...lol, f*ck that noise.

Yes, it is.

No person is perfect, none have made no sins other than Jesus.

Being an athiest will indeed lend you a spot in hell, you must believe, you don't just get in heaven for being a good person.

To me, that is ridiculous and makes God a jealous Narcissist.

Dude, I haven't even read most of your link, but here is the first part:

"It's right for God to slaughter women and children anytime he pleases. God gives life and he takes life. Everybody who dies, dies because God wills that they die. "

Wtf lol. That sounds like a super villain.

EDIT: I read it. It seems like nothing but a lousy justification for genocide. "God told him to annihilate the people so he did". Lol. You are worshiping some sort of thing that promotes genocide.

Oh I'm sorry, he apparently spared 8 people. So not 100% genocide! Achievement denied.


I love how it doesn’t even try to justify or rationalize God’s evil actions. It’s just like, “yeah, God gets to murder anyone he pleases for any reason, including no reason.”

Why does God hate donkeys though? What did donkeys do to it?

So when God see's sinners first it is like "okay time go some genocide, I'll spare 8 people".

Then it's "Oh I see sinners, so I'll have a kid, that is also me, and will go have him be tortured and killed to save the souls of the sinners. Also bee tee dubs they still go to hell if they don't worship me".

Clearly if this is real we are dealing with some sort of eldritch abomination that is enjoying toying with the things it created.

Donkeys play weird roles in the bible. Like this fun tidbit:

"He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men. Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”

I believe that signifies that Samson took out so many soldiers with the weakest of weapons, shows how tough he is.

There are different versions of the quote, this is the most hilarious though:

"Then Samson said, "With a donkey's jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men.""

Just bored/wondering.

I believe in God, but I believe there's a lot more nuance to him, the afterlife, and his expectations than most give him credit for. However, if I'm wrong about that and things are as clear cut and harsh as they're frequently made out to be, I'd have to say yes, he has that right. By the same token, if a programmer creates a video game from the ground up, he has the right to set it up any way he wants to. He has every right to dictate any and all aspects of his game. Even if he himself sets up variables, he has every right to say that certain results from the variables will result in a character being deleted from the game or whatever else he wants. It's the programmer's universe, no aspect of that universe is inherently entitled to anything beyond what's laid out by the programmer.

And I Dont Know Where Peeps Got The Idea That God Tortures People In Eternal Fire. When The Bible Says🙁2peter 3:9) "God......Is Patient With You Because He Does Not Desire Anyone To Be Destroyed, But Desires All To Attain To Repentance". And Then 1peter 5:7 Says "He Cares For You"

Even Job Who Formerly Thought God Was The Cause Of His Immense Suffering Said Later On : "it Is UNTHINKABLE For The True God To Act WICKEDLY, For The Almighty To Do Wrong!".

This Shows Contrary To What Some People Think God Dosent Torture People After They Die. Neither Is He The Cause Of Human Suffering.

As you can tell from this book a bunch of ancient dead people wrote, the creator and overlord of all reality has a knowable will.
