Omnipotent? Hardly. (Toon)

1. Nice. We need to continue to air these absurdities for what they are, that they deserve ridicule.

[amuse bouche]

2. What the problem?

3. And why does God need his ego stroked by petty humans, or even deserve it?

Why should we all beg someone who tortures earth with plagues, war, disease, and painful death for forgiveness? Also, what kind of jerk casts people who don't suck up to him into an eternal pit of fire?

Is God also a mass murderer? He drowned everyone with Noah's flood in Genesis. Doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do.

By the sounds of it, God is an incompetent moron.

7. You'll find stuff like this in virtually every chapter of the Old Testamant

Basically, the ancient Hebrews totally bogarted their religion from the Babylonians. Most of the early books of the Old Testament don't portray the OMNIPOTENT GAWD of the New Testament. Instead, you have a much more human, much more fallible deity.

He needs a rib to create woman. He asks why Adam and Eve hide their nudity, as if he doesn't already know. He "regrets" having made man at the beginning of the flood story. He has to come down from heaven to see the Tower of Babel, and is genuinely surprised to find it there. He's about to punish Pharaoh for trying to make a pass at Sarah, but is talked out of it because, apparently, he didn't realize Abraham had lied and said Sarah was his sister (sisters are, apparently, fair game).

In other words, he's complete goof, and a bit of a dick.
