And what did the angels in disguise do? They just stood by as messengers of god? My god! And Lot was called a man after god's heart! A lot of messed up fellows and a messed up deity? What message was god trying to teach? What message was he trying to get across to us sinners? My, my god certainly deserves my worship!ordinary malaysianhttp://lifeasanordinarymalaysian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810514527237098008.post-40403605538399215722011-11-25T16:20:26.854-05:002011-11-25T16:20:26.854-05:00God?

Worse than a pagan god. Sorry, you can respect a pagan god, but the Abrahmic god? God's standard of righteousness cannot by definition be lower than men's. He(sorry, habit again)even instructed that a daughter be offered to the sodomites to spare a prophet's life? That was one piece of godliness indeed. Now when I meet him shouldn't I give him a kick on the asre? You bet.ordinary malaysianhttp://lifeasanordinarymalaysian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810514527237098008.post-71032877083891084582011-11-25T07:07:19.782-05:002011-11-25T07:07:19.782-05:00Well, I was taking the story on its own premises, ...Well, I was taking the story on its own premises, but of course you're right.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704525078859327898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810514527237098008.post-60167031663799737502011-11-25T02:26:17.873-05:002011-11-25T02:26:17.873-05:00For me, what the Book of Job REALLY shows is that ...For me, what the Book of Job REALLY shows is that the Christian God is made in humankind's image, NOT the other way around!
