Gumby, I agree. This is why I said:
I maintain that if God is as petty, shallow and murderous, as most Christian churches teach that he is, then we are not better off with him in charge than Satan.I had saved this article to my desk top and never read it. Lately my fiance read it and I think it's an interesting take on the Bible. I don't think, from what he's told me, it sounds any more wacky than most churches sound.
The article I mentioned addresses what you said about the God of the Old Testament with a very interesting concept. The article talks about gnosticism. It's worth printing and reading. I'm going to do that. When I mentioned it to my Christian friend, she almost choked to tell me quickly enough how wrong she thinks the Gnostic Christians were. She prefers to cling to her murderous, inequitable God.
