Castiel233 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 He cares what we eat He cares what we wear He cares who we marry He cares what we think about He wants constant praise He makes demands, with the sure and certain knowledge we cannot fathom them. Demands the death penalty for extremely trivial reasons (picking up sticks on the Sabbath). Demands the death penalty for make believe crimes. Shouldn't we hope for more from the creator of the universe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afireinside Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 He doesn't CARE-he obsesses He only "cared" about the deeds of the Israelites and neighbouring nations, he wasn't aware of Asia, Europe, Australia etc. Where was the moral code and enforcement of morality to these places? The Bible is a snippet of philosophy from a middle eastern tribe-just ignore it and it will go away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Margee Posted June 27, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think the least he could have done was to make potatoe chips and ice-cream that didn't contain any calories. As a matter of fact, if I was god, I would make all junk food to be healthy for you!! Dumb, stupid god..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deva Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The title of this thread reminds me of the book "Your God is Too Small" by J.B. Phillips. I read it about 15 years ago when I was trying to be a liberal Christian. I agreed with the premise of the book but it did not ultimately convince me to remain Christian.

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted June 29, 2014 Super Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2014 Any god who is small enough to be understood or explained by one person with one book is too small to save you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castiel233 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Not only does God appear small and very local both in the OT & NT, He seems to fare even worse, when we consider the size of the observable universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutters Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, the creator of all that ever was, is and will be seems very particular about which nerve endings are an appropriate way to orgasm, which sorts of proteins we ingest and even how much sleep we get. Oh, and if you're a woman, getting chopped up and sent to Various men's doorsteps, or you and all your children dying to teach your husband Job a lesson on gratitude is no big deal - he gets to replace all of you with even more - yay!

Cousin Ricky Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The topic title immediately reminded me of a Carl Sagan quote: How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better that we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant”? Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” —Pale Blue Dot, as quoted by Richard Dawkins Actually, that sounds better with Dawkins’ voice than with Sagan’s. He's probably a pre-pubescent trying to be all grown up. Can't get his temper or libido in check. “The Great Spirit is a child?” —Little Bear, Lynne Reid Banks, The Indian in the Cupboard (Disclaimer: I quoted that from memory, as I no longer have access to the book.)
