Donald Duck and Jehovah (from the book "Jehovah Unmasked")

    A ll of us grew up watching and enjoying the antics of

    Donald Duck. We laughed as he slowly but surely lost

    control of a situation, and then finally, in an impotent

    rage, threw a temper tantrum. Sometimes, it was his

    nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie who drove poor

    Donald to the brink and beyond. We can all relate to

    Donald because often we too are faced with a situation

    that is beyond our control no matter what we do. After

    all, we are finite beings. However, when Donald Duck

    finally came to the end of his rope and threw a

    destructive temper tantrum, he displayed three important

    traits:

    1. He is impotent in the face of great difficulty.

    2. He utterly lacks self-control.

    3. He can be manipulated by others and by

    circumstance.

    When Huey, Dewey, and Louie continued to disobey

    Donald despite all his warnings, all he could really do in

    the end was throw a fit and destroy things in his

    impotent rage. In this, Huey, Dewey, and Louie

    demonstrated their control over their Uncle Donald.

    They could push his buttons until he could no longer

    respond to the situation in a rational or constructive

    manner, and he was finally overcome by his mindless

    rage. Donald had been successfully manipulated and

    shown to be impotent. For one is truly impotent when

    one can no longer respond to a situation constructively

    or maintain composure and self-control, and can only

    rage and destroy. As humans, we can relate to this. It

    reminds us of our own finiteness, and our own foibles.

    However, when we read about this same behavior being

    displayed by the supposedly omnipotent and omniscient

    god Jehovah in the pages of the Bible, it should give us

    instant pause for thoughtful analysis of Jehovah.

    Humans push Jehovah, over and over again, beyond his

    ability to respond to a situation in a constructive,

    rational, or self-controlled manner.

    Just as Donald Duck throws impotent destructive

    rages because he can no longer respond constructively or

    rationally, so does Jehovah. In the pages of the Bible,

    humans disobey this supposedly omniscient and

    omnicompetent god over and over, until he finally

    throws a destructive temper tantrum. He kills everyone

    on earth with a flood, sparing only a handful. He sends

    plagues upon Egypt because the Pharaoh of Egypt will

    not obey him. Jehovah kills all the firstborn sons of the

    Egyptians. Jehovah commands the Israelites to slaughter

    millions of men, women, the elderly, children, infants,

    babies, and even rip unborn babies out of their mother’s

    wombs. In his impotent wrath, Jehovah again and again

    destroys vast multitudes of the Israelites, his own

    “chosen people,” because he can no longer find a way to

    respond in a meaningful, constructive, self-controlled

    manner to their disobedience, despite his supposedly

    omniscient, omnipotent, and omnicompetent nature.

    The Final Solution for Jehovah is always impotent

    destructive rage and murder

    We can laugh at Donald Duck's behavior because we

    see our human finiteness and foibles portrayed onscreen.

    Yet, when we find such behavior attributed to a

    supposedly omniscient, omnipotent, and omnicompetent

    Jehovah, we should be horrified and

    repulsed. Why? The real God is beyond

    our flesh in

    intelligence, power, and wisdom. That God is not

    subject to our human finiteness and foibles, being

    superior to our flesh, not inferior as Jehovah is. The

    True God is always able to find a meaningful,

    constructive way to respond to any situation. The True

    God could never be manipulated and controlled by finite

    creatures as Jehovah is.

    “Huey, Dewey, and Louie” (the human race) would

    never be able to exhaust the True God's mental and

    emotional resources and push it over the brink into

    impotent, murderous rage.

    As we have seen over and over, “Jehovah” is none

    other than Satan the Devil. Those who worship that god,

    “The God of this Age,” and fill their mind with tales of

    its impotent rage, begin to display such behavior

    themselves. Again I point the reader to the Christian

    Right, as well as Christian history, for confirmation of

    my claim. It is only logical that we would become like

    that which we worship, that which we give the highest

    place in our minds and hearts. Those who worship

    Jehovah/Satan pose a continuous real threat to the lives

    of each other and to those of us who do not worship

    their nasty god. Christian and Jewish history (and today's

    news.) are overflowing with examples of the savagery of

    those who have filled their minds and hearts with the

    Jehovah/Satan fiend.

    Wherever Gnosticism has arisen, those who worship

    the God of this Age have murdered Gnostics nearly to

    extinction. Why do you suppose that is so?

    I read that and rather enjoyed it. Like someone esle said recently on this forum, and it helped me heal a lot, "Why would I want to serve a god who is less moral than me?"

    That's one hell of an apt analogy.

    Thank you, James T. I just read the thread and made a comment. Your feelings on God reveal a kindness in you. I feel like I know you much better now.

    Extremely thought-provoking. I read and kept your '03 post back in the day; it inspired me then and it was good to re-read it just now.

    I recommend buying the book, I did.

    But if you HAVE to see what used to be online, then you might want to look into one of Google's caches

    http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:s-buJBF5uioJ:www.jcnot4me.com/items/theology/jehovah_unmasked/jehovah_unmasked.htm+&hl=en&client=firefox-a

    If you find the web version interesting, then purchase the book so you can read it offline.

    Is the web version different?

    Great analogy.

    One question though, what does " omnicompetent" mean? Never heard that word before and I can't find it in a dictionary.
