From: Mike Musing > Some info on my background: I used to have vague religious feelings > which have been noticed to intensify during critical moments of my life, > events which I had no control over, exams, etc. Once upon a day I decided > to get myself a better understanding of my God (read bible). That was the > end of my vaguely religious feelings! The god's character was so irrational > (to my taste), unreasonable, vengeful, spiteful, and sadistic(sic) that I > became deeply disgusted. This creator is a total feeble-minded schizophrenic, > said I to myself => the book is a joke. There were, of course, other > considerations which helped me with the conclusion. Please give specific or semi-specific examples of God's "vengeful, spiteful, sadistic, feeble-minded, schizophrenic" behavior. I will be glad to answer these claims with other scriptures and experience if examples are given. Do not forget that you are reading the book from a human, scientific, historical aspect. It was written from a spiritual aspect. "God's ways are not our ways." Please reply by mail and/or the net as I am sure others may be interested in how such differences in the character of God are obtained by reading the same book.
