Massive, massive, head slapping contradictions that blacken the sky they are so egregious. Unlike peeps above I really read the bible with an open mind. I concluded that it is anthropomorphic to the absolute extreme, he is after all an invisible man in the sky.

I concluded that Jehovah is a vengeful, spiteful and wholly unjust god who would judge a man on a comparatively, infinitely small, minuscule wedge of time when compared to eternal damnation. I concluded that he demands absolute obedience to the point of going slasher on your own son to prove your loyalty like something out of a bad gangster flick.

He demands a blood sacrifice from his own son (anthropomorphism) when he is omnipotent and could just give everyone icecreams and chill the fuck out instead. He is like a psychopath with an ant farm, shitting the place up with massive floods and famines because people succumb to human nature, the very nature that he, in his vision, gave us. This we are supposed to square with God is love.

I have a lot more to say on this, but my sweet girlfriend is up now, maybe I will post a series and get more down votes than I have ever had.

I will say that, when viewed from an eastern mysticism or Buddhist slant, I found Jesus' words very interesting. It's like he was trying and failing to teach metaphysical concepts to cavemen and this is where I perceived value in this book although not if viewed through the Christian para-dime.

Fucken wheeeeeeeeeeeee.
