Satan... a good guy?

[met_B_A_N_S]

Satan is the unsung hero of the Bible. He courageously stands up against gods tyranny, evilness, and injustice.

So what do y'ins think of this statement?

[Rizzo in a box]

He is also the master of deception.

As in, very good at lying.

As in, you fell for it.

God is a psychopath really.

A petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

And then Jesus comes along and all is forgiven and perfect again and we can forget about God because.....he didn't REALLY mean any of that stuff in the old testament

Read some Gnostic texts, and then the old testament over again. It's fairly easy to realize there is little consistency with the personality of "God" in the OT, and that he's not really the supreme, loving God.

It gets fairly confusing though...

I do agree that the God of the OT was one mother fucking bastard, though.

That was my point, unless you didn't get it all those words I used to describe him fit perfectly.

And, I was being sarcastic about the Jesus thing, a lot of Christians try to cover up for God by pointing out Jesus and suddenly all the evil things god has done are ok

God defines what is good and evil, not man. He has all the knowledge of everything. If he deems someone should die, what of it? So what if we think it seems evil, there are humans that think sex with boys is perfectly fine(NAMBLA).

How the hell do you know god has knowledge of everything?

He acts like and asshole, and assholes lie

They also like having people following them around, saying how great they are.

Do you see what i'm getting at here?

You stole this from Dawkins.

That's the definition of God. If it doesn't have complete knowledge it isn't God.

Not really.

This is extremely true. It's talked about a lot in Gnostic texts.
