According to The Bible, God (Not Satan) Is Both Evil And a Moral Failure
Damn, these facts are in the Bible! |
(Disclaimer: Let me say from the start, I’m an atheist . . . I consider the Bible a literary fraud and that the characters
discussed below never existed.)
Based on a general reading of the Bible, especially the
section labeled the Old Testament, the Hebrew god Yahweh (given the Christian title God from the LXX) is portraited as a debauched immoral character, often lacking
any ethical conscious while theologically (not Biblically), the figure of Satan unjustly condemned.
A. Murders men, women, children, babies
and the unborn indiscriminately (The Flood of Noah: Genesis 7) God: Yes Satan: No
B. Commands the Israelites to rape,
slaughter, steal / pillage and enslave men, women and children. (The attack on the Midianites in Numbers
31) God:
Yes Satan: No
C. Demands sexual mutilation as a sign of an
agreement (Exodus 4:24 – 26 = Genesis 17: 11 -14)
God: Yes Satan: No
God: Yes Satan: No
D. Demands rape of female children and babies.
(Numbers 31: 18 “But all the young (טף) girls ( נשים) who
have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.” God:
Yes Satan: No
E. Loves precious metals over the lives of
humanity. (Joshua 7: 15 & Joshua 7:
25) God: Yes Satan: No
F. Attacks and curses a talking snake for telling the
truth then lies to Adam and Eve. (Genesis 3) God: Yes Satan: No
G. Demands individual human sacrifice. (The Akedah Genesis 22:1-2; The murder (sacrifice ?) of Jesus; See Gospels) God: Yes Satan: No
H. Demands the burning of entire cities (שָׂרַף בָּאֵשׁ” or “to burn
with fire”) so he can enjoy smelling the smoke of human flesh. (Thus Joshua 6: 21
makes it a point to tell the Jewish reader of this epic that death was to be by
“the edge of the sword” before the ritual
/ sacrificial burning in Joshua 6: 24 could take place.) God: Yes Satan: No
I. Is never presented in the Bible as a murderer. (Despite Jesus’ assertion
in John 8: 44. In Job, (in Job 1: 6 ) tells us that
fire fell from God and destroyed Jobs animals. In verse 19, wind causes the
house to fall on Job’s young people and, just like the fire from Heaven, God
controls all these acts of nature. While Job clearly states in 42: 11 that it was God who did all the harm
to Job, his wealth and his family: "Then came there to him all his
brothers, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and
comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought on him." This is again backed up by Job’s statement in 1: 21: Job said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there.The LORD gave and the LORD has
taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.") God: No Satan:
Yes
J. Has a divine son who lies as bad as
the father. (See my post: The Biblical Lies of God and Jesus ) God: Yes Satan: No
K. Commands a following spirits (be they Angels or Demons) to carry out the mass murders in a nation. (The
Passover: Exodus 12:29) God: Yes Satan: No
L. Will torture people forever in the
name of love. (Mark 9: 44, 46, & 48) God: Yes Satan: No
M. Lies to his own believers in order to kill off anyone stupid enough to to trust him. (The longer ending of the Gospel of Mark 16: 9 - 20). God: Yes Satan: No
N. Presented generally in the Bible as a known lair and murderer. God: Yes Satan: No
M. Lies to his own believers in order to kill off anyone stupid enough to to trust him. (The longer ending of the Gospel of Mark 16: 9 - 20). God: Yes Satan: No
N. Presented generally in the Bible as a known lair and murderer. God: Yes Satan: No
