To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
So ya, God is still punishing women for what this original woman did, and that seems reasonable to Christians today? Great religion guys.
So lets see God is omnipotent but gets tired when he exercises a finite amount of his power.
God is omniscient but pretends not to be for the sake of conversation.
God lies but that’s ok because he means well.
God cannot predict the future even though he is omnipotent and omniscient or he likes punishing his children for what he set them up to do.
I guess as long as you accept he’s a liar (or works in mysterious ways or whatever euphemism you prefer) than the bible makes sense as a manipulation for our own good. Except you can’t really know what God wants from you at that point so what are you getting all worked up with various human behaviors in sex, drugs, whatever else?
Convolutions upon convolutions like the surface of the human mind, the vastly most likely origin of God. Maybe we should have called God Wohuman instead.
Once again, religion doesn’t always equal Christianity! That’s a major problem I see in debates around here – talking equating all religion with Christianity.
