Just curious. Can you explain these things?
Thanks for the reasonable reply, RodISHI.
Which things do you mean? My list? My explanation is based upon my belief that everything in the Bible springs from the imagination of men -- either originally or as a reiteration of some earlier mythology.
My context is that man created gods in their own image, not the other way around. So, naturally, they attributed to their gods all their own flaws and frailties. As to why they made Yahweh so bloodthirsty and vicious, I could only speculate. I honestly don't know how ANY moral being could even IMAGINE dashing babies heads against rocks -- or worse, celebrate it (as David (presumably) did in Psalms)!
That said, that doesn't nullify my standing challenge to Ding (or anyone else), who asserts that I simply didn't read all these horrific and hideous stories in the "proper context."
