Oh... that's a different question.

So, you�re saying that the Bible is wrong? God didn�t order the Jewish people to commit all those atrocities, even though that is what is written in the Bible? What the hell are you, a liberal Christian?

Or am I misunderstanding you? Are you claiming that all of these people deserved to die?

I was going to phrase it that way, but choose the broadcasted version.

My guess is that YHWH used Allah as a scapegoat.

uh, 'scuse me, but they are the same god. The god of abraham. the jews, muslims and christians all worship the same fictional character.

nogods4me beat me to it. The Christian god and Allah are both bastard child-gods of the OT god.

The Flood is mentioned in the Qur'an as well. Allah did it too.

Dark Phoenix took out a few billion. Of course she also saved the entire universe from blinking out of existence, though, so she's not all bad.

Ender Wiggins, Xenocide.

I have to go for the Christian god ,mainly because I just cant stand him =o

JaeIsGod · 08-04-2003, 01:22 PM

Oh , and I consider blame the things done by his followers on the Christian God , since most of them can back up their actions with the Bible.

He states a zillion reasons to kill people and adds in a treat of eternal hellfire , so they are pretty much forced by him.

I know people keep saying this, but how can it be true?

The Jewish god didn't have a son.

I don't hold the writers of the original book accountable for material put in the sequel by different authors.
