Look here under "violence and cruelty" or look here if you're a visual learner.

Can you please explain what I don't understand about this?
That old boy might be an atheist, but he ain't no hillbilly! No true hillbilly [or redneck] would ever fly the Rebel flag like this:



He's got the dang-blasted thang upside down! Landsakes!

4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.


God is definitely not a vegan. And god does play favorites.

Seriously, why do you use that as an argument?
Deuteronomy 28:63 Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you.

God would get pleasure from ruining and destroying people.

Of course, the NIV tones it down. The NRSV has God 'taking delight' in destroying people.
