Let us consider that the bible is nothing but propaganda, and let us consider that hypothetically that god encouraged it's writings. If YOU were god wouln't you write it so that you appeared all powerful? What if god is just someone who is the first "being" that came into existence and claimed that he created all else afterward.

Is he some sort of joke?

How would that go into play with Satan, though? Is he some sort of joke?

Actually the story as to why Satan (Lucifer, the angel of light and beauty) rebelled is that God created Angels first, and until Jesus sacrificed himself Lucifer was at the right hand of God. Then God made man, Jesus comes along and gets killed, then all of a sudden God pushed Lucifer aside and Jesus now sat at the right hand of God.

Even though this would seem like a good reason to rebel, let's look at another thing. The bible has stated that the angels envied man because they had free will, while the angels were created to serve eternally.

Here's my question. The bible says Lucifer rebelled because he was jealous. It also says that angels don't have free will like us. So if an angel doesn't have free will, and exist only to serve, then Lucifer was simply doing as God commanded, as that is all angels can do.

Another case of God punishing someone for something He did. What a prick.

Well I was looking at my post and it really wasn't a question. More of an observation. But i'm blaming the beer so deal with it

Along that hypothetical it would be possible that God really believes his own lie.

Another unfair thing, it basically says in Romans that god made you how you are, yet punishes you anyway.

Image fail...



Romans 9:19
Now you will say to me, 'Then why does God still blame us? For who can go against his will?'





Romans 9:20
But who are you, a mere man, to argue with God?

Lego god ftw

And this is why I love lego, even now at the age of 19. It's just another tool to show god as a non loving psychopath.

Fully agreed, but also consider the contradiction that the religious community has within itself that we are all part of his plan, yet we have free will. "Oh god knew this would happen, he works in strange ways" "God gives us the choice to do good or evil" ???
