Why did he give the jews the law then do away with it?
Why he tell Hosea to marry a virgin hoe that would cheat on him then later become faithful, just so he could go buy her back and then finally live happily ever after?
Why would he kill you for worshiping a golden calf but then kill you for not worshiping a copper snake?
Why would he ask them to sacrific a bull, then only a healthy bull, then say bull is not enought and want "the bull of the lips" when it is all bull?
Exactly!
: The whole concept of religion is progressive revelation. In real life a competent God would not act like this. So there is no God or God is not competent.
Or, God does exist, but he's been on vacation for the entire period of man's existence. In any case, BibleGod(tm) certainly doesn't exist. He is worse than all the mass murderers who've ever lived combined.
