Jehovah kicks a puppy

Simon

Technically incorrect, but effectively he does ...

If we're to believe the Genesis account the serpent deceived Eve and made her eat of the tree of knowledge. It all went pear shaped from there on in, although most people believe it was an apple (boom tish).

But anyway ...

Either it was a literal serpent that could talk on it's own behalf or, as people typically believe, it was Satan who was the puppet master and possessing the creature.

The first raises all sorts of questions that contradict the whole bible narrative (another creature that could reason, talk, debate existence and law etc...) so let's go with "the Satan theory".

How does got react to his 'perfect' creation immediately being completely imperfect as soon as he takes it out of the box? (he's like 0 for 4 ... satan, serpent, woman, man ... all break his rules)

He lashes out an kicks the puppy! (temper, temper)

Does he punish Satan at all for his apparent crime? No - he gets away free and the snake gets it all instead.

Genesis 3:14 has him punishing the puppy, erm, I mean the puppet:

So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

Not only does he punish that snake, he punishes all snakes forever more ... for all time.

But wait, think about it - it's even better. Not only does the snake talk ... we now have god, the supreme creator of the universe talking to the friggin snake!

WTF kind of idiot is he?!?!

Does he really think the snake was responsible in any way shape or form for the archangel that took it over Or are we to believe that the snake had some part in the plot? Does he think it's the ringleader?

It's laughable what a piece of nonsense it is and yet millions read it and never think about it at anything more than face value even thought the face value is full of stupid.

Yet another reason the bible is a useless piece of crap.

Simon, Jehovah loves his talking animals, but that's because he talks out of his ass

Screw the snake. Women are cursed with "greatly increase the pain of childbirth" and "your longing will be for your husband and he will dominate you."

Gee thanks Jehovah, labor pains and sluttyness.

St George of England

Until the 1940's or so the WTS believed the snake had legs and these were removed to fulfil this curse.

Simon , as I have said on another thread , Jehovah is not a lover of animals ,think of how many sheep ,cattle ,were slaughtered as a sacrifice to him. Their would have to be millions from the time of Abel to the time of Jesus. Think of just one account .1 Kings 8 : 62-64

And as you rightly point out ,men ,women and , animals ,have suffered and still are suffering to this day , after thousands of years ,but what has Satan suffered ? the instigator of this petty sin committed by humans ?

Nothing apparently ,hundreds of years later , he still had assess to front Jehovah in the heavens ? And apparently it was thousands of years later he was confined to the earth . For what purpose ? To cause more mayhem for humans .

Another blow to humanity , if anybody got the dirty end of the stick it was humanity. not Satan the cause.

Very good food for thought!

Great post Simon!

You know what always gets me about this god ....is that this almighty god got offended and let his ego get the better of him. Now he expects to be worshiped and placated with offerings and humans begging forgiveness for sins done and thought of being done and not being done but you never know you may just be doing, because you are imperfect and thus flawed and cursed and pathetic and sinful and must die.

But it's all your choice. Choose god and live or don't choose god and die.

I remember people claiming that from the platform in the 70's/ early 80's

These kinds of paradoxes are exactly what happens when a modern reader accepts a traditional myth as a literal, step-by-step exact representation of a historical event.

The Jews who wrote these stories never believed they were literal history - well, at least those with intelligence exceeding that of a 6 year old child did not.
