On the way home from work I saw an SUV with the license plate number DEUT28 6, so being a good atheist I decided to research the verse.

"28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out."

Hmm, isn't that nice. Maybe blessings come when the SUV goest in and out of the gas station. I guess all the good verses were taken.

After reading this chapter which discusses how God will treat people who do and do not follow his old testament commandments, I was struck by the fact that 20% of the chapter shows how God blesses those who follow his commandments and 80% shows all the poxes, curses, boils, plagues and suffering for those who don't follow his commandments.

I wonder how many commandments one has to break to suffer the wrath of God. He sure sounds like a swell guy, NOT.

Parenting books often point out that parents tend to pay more attention to the times when their children misbehave rather than to the times they do things right. Bad behavior, even if infrequent, gets punished, whereas good behavior goes unnoticed. I guess YHWH is that kind of 'parent'. Or maybe the people who invented him were.

The Judaeo/Christian/Muslim god demands obedience. One can't help but wonder what the point was for her/him to have created creatures just for that purpose. She/he must be very insecure.
