The devil makes himself quite known,,, especially when he possesses people.. and ghosts ( from my understanding) are demonic entities. They have been captured on audio, and video. And my daughter witnessed something ominous when she saw an 8 foot shadow figure at one of the places she used to work.
Why doesn’t god present himself as readily? Am I missing something from the Bible?
Well let's go through some of this fairy tale shall we?! He sets up a trap for mankind to forever be in his pocket. Remember before the apple Adam and Eve don't know about evil so to understand what they were doing was wrong is all on God's hands. Screws us right away, shows he is evil.
God drowns all living things because humans weren't bowing down to him enough. His view of wickedness is often described as not listening to him and even if everyone was stealing and raping and murdering it's not an excuse to drown innocent children. He kills little children by drowning them...do you really want to justify that?
God habitually either commits genocide or tells his chosen people that it's his will that they commit it. He dictates that they should kill all their enemies and keep the young virgin women for themselves (ie sex slaves). Genocide, slavery and rape all in one!
He kills children who make fun of prophets by having them eaten by bears. Would you explain how a benevolent god does that?
He populates the planet twice through incest. And then supports family lines who do it again (see Lot's daughters).
He is the creator of evil. There is no need for childhood terminal cancer. That's purely just being an (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) for no purpose.
He teaches lessons through tormenting, and torturing people. Why he allowed Job to be treated like (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) to win a bet against Satan....makes Yahweh look like the evil one to me.
He requires worship in both blood sacrifice and genital mutilation. Being the creator of the universe he could have stopped all that from the first time so claiming it was cultural shows your god is weak.
He not only condones slavery but sets up laws on how to trick your slaves and how to beat them. He is the creator of the universe so he could have said that owning people I never ok regardless of it being cultural. It shows your god is evil or weak. You pick.
And the worst part of all...he does all this and then allows his followers to come here and justify his evil acts. You should feel ashamed of yourself for even attempting to make any of this sound good. I'd say supporting evil like that is un-Christian of you but it's not. The religion itself is really just a cult following a bronze age myth which uses hellfire to force naive people into supporting evil acts they justify as divinely moral.
Read your Bible, cover to cover instead of reading it like a buffet, it's the worst horror story ever written by man.
