Posted also on ELias FOrum I just checked out a book from the church entitled Is God a Moral Monster? . Oxford Professor RIchard Dawkins who wrote the God Delusion wrote this about God, especially the one of the Old Testament: “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” Ah and that he is. But you know what. For a Christian to make the case to an Atheist that the Biblical God is a moral entity is about equally difficult as our trying to make the case to a normal that Elias paints the true picture of reality, because that very same God described by Dawkins also describes human beings through the ages. So to get anyone to believe what Elias says we have to convince them all of the above acts and traits are perfectly ok, endorsed by our subjective and our genuine self, just another experience, not good, not bad, in the eyes of our true genuine self. Yikes. Were bad to the bone and.no regrets.
