Steven, Iam trying to point out a particular bias against the God of Abraham. The Nazis were carrying out the commands of their "diety" Hitler, the Romans worshipped their Caesars, the Mongols their Khans, and the Japanese their Emperor, god of the sun. My point being that, if one is going to hate any controlling figure for acts done by their believers, he/she should give equal hate and time to the others.
IMO, no one has said that the God of Abraham is a "benevolent" God. He is a "just" God. A just ruler, or diety, also administers justice to the wrong doers according to the codes of behavior of the time involved, as well as blessings upon the righteous. I don't ask anyone to believe as I do, but do not take kindly to a clear bias against only one of the "so called" orchestrators of death and destruction. In other words, I ask for a fair shake. ~H~ |
