I hope to show that SOME humans, (compassionate, unselfish, volunteers) can be more perfect than the Christian God is purported to be in the Bible
I am not attacking those who are Christians, it takes different forms, and some may think the way I do. But, THIS IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
To me, the Christian God, is NOT perfect at all.
I do not know how Christians can make sense of this, as it says in their Bible; ‘man, (not people, humans, or man & woman) was made in the image of the gods.’ Implying there are more than one, which of course there easily could be. If there is one, there has to be another.
As it happens, the Old Testament, (to which God did not pop back into and change any of his opinions or threats, after Jesus had been allegedly crucified), says; I am a jealous god, god of wrath, etc., How many times have you read him calling himself a loving, or merciful god? Someone told me it says that once somewhere, but I could not find it?
So, it sounds as if God made mankind, like himself and that is why all the violence. Also, God certainly does prompt any word against Him, to be met with violence. What kind of insecure God is that? This giving of ‘free will’ is used to excuse any God questioning, that cannot be otherwise explained.
Adultery, is supposed to be a sin, but what about incest and paedophilia? The rules also were, once married in God’s name, if a partner takes another spouse, even if widowed, they are committing adultery.
How come this is totally overlooked by Christians today? They are continuing to knowingly sin, no matter how much they repent, unless they leave their partners and live alone if they have ever been married! Blood was not to be consumed, in animal meat, nor by transfusions. There was a good reason for this, but this is overlooked by Christians also.
Just as humans make all kind of excuses for bad behaviour, so do the followers of the Bible. As in; prayers are not answered, due to it not being in one’s best interests. Even if that meant someone dying in agony? Watching a loved one die like that? I THINK NOT! What a stupid excuse!
Pleading for one’s life in the climate catastrophe’s, when some seem to have prayers answered and others do not? This implies God has favourites! What good father would EVER be like that? Some humans, (volunteer helpers) have proved themselves to be more perfect than this God, who is supposed to be looking over everyone has been.
It seems Christians cannot spread the faith, without having to defend the actions, or non-actions of God. It does sound like the Bible is a Fairytale, but with some parts that could be comprehended as true, if it conveniently fits in today.
God hated gays and deformed people, who it is said, could not worship at His Altar. But, he is supposed to have made them all, so He proves He did not, or that He is capable of making huge mistakes. That does not make Him perfect in anyway, so it IS possible to have human emotions and be perfect. As perfect as God that is.
That saying; ‘God helps those who helps themselves,’ means; When someone has achieved a good result or success, through his own sweat, tears and dedication, God will take the credit for it. That is quite a human emotion, isn’t it?
Christians cannot deny the logic in what I say, but they are too frightened of the possible wrath of God, so they will not verbalise the truth as it is. They will think it, but are too hypocritical to admit it, just in case of eternal damnation.
I was brainwashed from a child, and had very religious parents. One a Catholic taught by Nuns, and the other taught Christianity by Jesuit priests. One of them called me a ‘Heathen’ for asking questions and for needing to know ‘why’ was the Bible and God’s word so contradictory. I was told, it has to be faith. Faith means, it doesn’t have to make any sense at all, just believe anyway, in case the threats of not believing and the rewards of believing, end up being a reality.
I insisted that I could not ‘love’ something that no-one could prove existed. A feeling inside is NOT enough, to believe when it DOES NOT make sense, or the God has proved to be callous, cruel, violent, uncaring, and does not know HOW to love, as He sent His Son to be tortured and killed, for Him to change His mind about saving those He allegedly ‘made’ in the first place. He could have simply ‘forgiven.’
Well, us humans do that all the time, do we not? Some of us are MORE perfect than this particular God is. So the question should be; Can a God be as perfect as some of the best of human examples? I believe Jesus to be one of those PERFECT mortals. Yes, I love Jesus, and believe it or not, I have proof, as others may have to. But, we will no more speak about it, than broadcast we believe in aliens. Of which, like others, I also have proof. I have truly had my share of trauma, and bad luck, maybe from talking against the idea of this type of God. But, I do not regret it.
If you keep a discerning mind , but want the truth, ‘Oh so badly’, you will get it, like I did. But, just having ‘faith’ means closing the mind, and you will then learn nothing more. You will never make sense of any of it, but just have to continue with ‘faith’ and keep all your unanswered questions in the background of your mind. This is not a fulfilling thing to have to do, and is not good for the soul. Attacking others, who may cause you to doubt your nonsensical ‘faith’ or who disagree with you for such logical ideas, as I have put forward, is the sign of a closed, frightened, mind.
Perhaps the other gods in the Universe, have done better with their planets? That is also a possibility.

NOTE:
(I have, and shall be, posting many more of my ideas/articles in this website, and am compiling a book for those interested to read. Details will be in here, when it is ready for sale.)
I do care about people and animals, very much. I always try to help if I can, or to defend those who need it, even to my own detriment. I am as good a person as I am able to be right now. When you read my entire life story, you will see that I should have become a bitter, callous, un-trusting person. As I have suffered so much, I have become stronger, extremely compassionate and empathetic.
I have plans to do much more to bring something good to those I meet, in need. But, for now, these revelations of mine are to HELP true seekers to see other angles, that they will recognise, but have deliberately hidden in themselves, out of fear. They can dismiss or accept, I force nothing on anyone, and do not dislike anyone because of the religion they choose.
