I mean, he believes in slavery for a start. Where are all your slaves? They're free people because we all realized "Hey, maybe this guy's a human just like us and we should let him and all the other slaves lead full and free lives". We fixed that issue right there and now we've forgotten how God doesn't mind. But it says right there in the Bible:
"You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Now, if that doesn't have you convinced, how about how he completely ignores his own command of not murdering by murdering the entire population of the planet in the story of Noah's Ark? Well, the entire population except for Noah and two of each of the billions of species of animals. What a boss Noah must have been to manage that. But not only does this make God murderous, but it also makes him a hypocrite!

And last but not least, one that has directly effected me, and perhaps the most famous of his moral errors; Homophobia. This guy promotes the hatred of millions of nice people, myself included, because of who we love. Homosexuality is a way of loving a consenting partner. A FORM OF LOVE! One of the best things we as humans have going for us, and yet this guy hates us for it! And has made the world a worse place than what it could be. Now, is this not just a little bit messed up to you?

The God I worship is NOT the god you dedscribe, as I woulf never worship any god like that.

The 'slave' legislation you mention was for ancient Israel, not for today.

Noah's Ark happened - And there were only about 8,000 kinds of animals not billions as you calim.

No wonder you are messed up - and why did you choose to be a homosexual?

If you know God, you will know love - - If you do not know God you will never know love.

God wasn't talking about slavery as you refer to slavery. He refers to slaves as 90% of the population are slave to some company or some boss whether you like to admit it or not. He teachers to treat slaves aka people that are working for you right and just. I don't see any problem with that for I am myself a slave to my boss.



Before you talk about murder go look up the definition, Lord above anyone knows when it is lawful to take someones life.



As far as your little sexual fantasies go, God doesn't promote hatred for people of the same sex loving each other. God hates sin yes... so if your little fantasy causes you to go out of your way and perform dirty sexual acts than no he is not ok with that. But hey, they all hating god gave you a chance to repent and sacrificed his son for your and mine sins, so when the judgement comes don't say you didn't know because now you do.

Well i will be honest and say i couldn't get past the first sentence before i felt myself wanting to get upset. The fact that God sent His Son to die for you just so u had a chance to have a second chance at everlasting life and u would dare call Him out of His name is appalling enough but u ppl who are calling urself defending God and calling this child out of her name is worse cuz first of all God is the Almighty and doesn't need us to defend Him and he sure don't need you guys tearing this girl down because you feel she is wrong which is wrong. You don't know what she has been through to make her feel that way. If u guys are believers than you know who God is and shouldn't be do offended by what others say about Him.

You can PICK PICK PICK the word of God apart all you want!! You will never understand even a good portion of it, if you DO NOT READ THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK!!

When God destroyed man in the flood, why did you leave out the part that said"that it repented God that he had made man, BECAUSE his thoughts were EVIL continually!! Honestly if you were God and you knew someone who's thoughts were EVIL continually what would you do! You know thoughts turn into action so we know that all mankind was doing evil constantly!!

God is not the author of DEATH!! That means that God wants no part of Death, he is the author of life, but God will destroy that which is evil!! He can not go against his word!! SIN EQUALS DEATH!! Do you know why his can not put his stamp of approval on your lifestyle because it leads to death! If 100 same sex couple lived on an Island in 100 years you would all be dead unless someone was lucky enough to live to be 101. It is not that he thinks love is wrong! He knows that same sex love leads to death. God does not want you to die, so he tells us not to be in a relationship which can only lead to death!!

You will never understand the concept of the Bible unless you read it enough to grasp a tiny portion of how God thinks!! Our finite mind will never fully understand God because his thoughts are higher than mans thoughts, but I have studied his word enough to know that Gods purpose for ALL mankind is for GOOD and not EVIL, but he is a just God, he will punish evil doers!! Because he, in his nature is good and he hates evil, he knows it spreads and infects all that it touches, that is why God said that the sins of the fathers would be passed down to their children!!(but only) to them that HATE GOD! If you love GOD IT WILL NOT BE PASSED DOWN TO YOUR CHILDREN GOD WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!

I could defend the way God thinks all night but it would do no good!! If you want to know God you will seek the truth and you will find it!! His word promises us if we seek we shall find, if we knock the door will be opened unto us! I am 47 years old and I have never seen one time in my life that God went against his word, the Bible is very deep and can only be understood in layers, I have read the Bible through many times and each time I do, I see things about God I never saw before, I wish you knew the DEPTH of LOVE God has for you, just the way you are! You do not have to change for God to love you! He loves you just the way you are! PERIOD!!

I hope you seek to learn who he truly is, not pick, pick, out the parts of the word that makes God look evil, for he is not, he is a good God that died so you could live. Do you know anyone who has died for you, I think they would be worth getting to know!! I hope you know that with all kindness in my heart I have tried to give you just a glimpse of God, and I am not worthy to ever judge anyone, I have plenty of faults of my own, I NEED TO DEAL WITH. I truly hope I did not offend you, I meant no harm. :)

Excuse me but God doesn't approve of slavery but He allowed humans to do whatever they want to both good and bad.



When God takes life, it's not murder. God is the Creator and the giver and taker of life.



God made humans to be heterosexual. It's not an error, it's just the way God intended. I mean look at the human body male and female. Clearly only male and female will fit together correctly.

our God, Jehovah, has the knowledge and wisdom to set the rules for his creation. Jehovah gave life to all those that lived in Noah's day. they didn't appreciate His gift, so he took it back. very simple. they are not being tortured in some eternal place of torment. they just went back to the non-existent state they came from. how is that unjust?

The fact that mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited enables researchers to trace maternal lineage of religious FUNDIES, ZEALOTS & ZIONISTS to their MOST COMMON ANCESTOR, the Ostrich.

They don't ignore it. They embrace it. Look st how horrible and bitter the one answerer is, calling you names. She is filled with hate, and so is the imaginary douche that she worships.

I don't spend THAT much time analyzing the flaws of an obviously fictional character.

Apparently, we are made in His likeness. So are you really that surprised?

He ignores your rather glaring flaws; can't you return the favor?
