How and why did Warlord God become Hippie God? Was is it a necessary re-write, to rehabilitate his image? Was he simply drunk with power and ambition in the OT and realized that peace, love and harmony was a superior brand of messaging? Did he simply mature and mellow out with age, filled with regret and embarrassment over his past transgressions?
I'm being a tad sarcastic of course, but I find the extremely bi-polar and incompetent nature of this deity to be rather entertaining from a purely literary aspect. It's rather frightening in another sense, in that people actually believe these things and incorporate such ideology into their lives and thinking processes.
Why didn't God foresee the Internet era to give an universal message instead of giving it to people who weren't even aware of other planets, other countries and other way of thinking ? They thought Earth was flat, central to all of this because we were the cherry on the cake.
THat's one of the main thing that I don't understand in the God of religion.
The dude is an idiot. And a big one.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
