I know many people might say to question Jehovah and Jesus about anything is a form of "blasphemy" but do you sometimes think that Jehovah and Jesus are "controll freaks"? I just sometimes think for myself and not what I think Jehovah and Jesus want me to think and I see a controll issue with both of them. First of all it seems that Jehovah is always "testing" his people to see if they love him. I just don't understand why Jehovah seems to be so "insecure". If a human father was constantly testing his children to see if they would be loyal than I would definitely ask him how secure in himself is he? But all through the bible especially the Old Testaments Jehovah is constantly setting up tests or allowing test to be performed on his worshippers. Job, Abraham(was about to sacrafice Isaac) are a few that come to mind. I think that Jehovah's Witnesses and Born Agains need to look at the source of the problem which I think is the Bible itself. I am in no-way promoting Athestism but I do believe some of what Athests point out about contradiction in the bible are true. I will always believe in Jehovah and Jesus but I think there are some problems with Christianity as a whole.
Do you think that Jehovah and Jesus are "controll freaks"?

Contol freak, testing and insecurities are human faults. It seems to suggest the bible was written by humans and from the heart and mind of a human. Then again, god created man in his own image which suggests god is just as imperfect.

I agree about Jehovah, I don't know about Jesus though. He seemed like a pretty nice bloke to me.

I think the men who created them were control freaks.
1 In the beginning Man created God;
and in the image of Man
created he him.
2 And Man gave unto God a multitude of
names,that he might be Lord of all
the earth when it was suited to Man
3 And on the seven millionth
day Man rested and did lean
heavily on his God and saw that
it was good.
4 And Man formed Aqualung of
the dust of the ground, and a
host of others likened unto his kind.
5 And these lesser men were cast into the
void; And some were burned, and some were
put apart from their kind.
6 And Man became the God that he had
created and with his miracles did
rule over all the earth.
7 But as all these things
came to pass, the Spirit that did
cause man to create his God
lived on within all men: even
within Aqualung.
8 And man saw it not.
9 But for Christ's sake he'd
better start looking.Ian Anderson
