My Problem With God

I'm bringing in the New Year with a message about why I hate God. Quite simple he is the most evil, vile, horrible character ever thought into existence. To illustrate the point I will compare him with five well known historical figures.

1. Radovan Karadžić

Radovan Karadžić is widely considered to be the architect of the Ethnic-Cleansing atrocities that took place in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990's. His Serb nationalist agenda led to the siege of Sarajevo and the massacre at the UN declared safe zone of Srebrenica. After being a fugitive of international law he was finally captured in 2008 and is currently being tried at The Hague for war crimes.

Comparison to God:

Difficult to choose just one, but lets go for Sodom and Gomorrah. God didn't like their way of life, so decides to massacre thousands of people. Not unlike the massacre at Srebrenica.

2. Adolf Hitler

Do I need to explain why he was evil? Top of the list of his atrocities would undoubtedly be the Holocaust though, were an estimated 6 Million Jews were massacred for being the wrong race.

Comparison to God:

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2"Take full vengeance for the sons of Israel on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people."

God ultimately tells his children to massacre all people of the race of Midiantites for being of inferior moral character. Hmm.

3. Arthur Gary Bishop

Less known than the first two, but the religiously named Arthur Gary Bishop was one of the most notorious killers of children in criminal history. He systematically killed children for pleasure until he was caught in 1983 and charged with the murder of five different children. He was executed in Utah state prison in 1988.

Comparison to God

Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers;

Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces

Isaiah 13:16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes

Scary!

4. Sarah Palin

Homophobic running mate of John McCain in the 2008 US presidential election Sarah Palin is the next I add to my list. Unlike the others so far she has not technically done anything illegal, just highly highly immoral. Her core politics lay in anti-gay legislation, going so far as to attempt to strip Gay couples of any legal rights, and openly homosexual people from receiving state benefits!

Comparison to God

Well God goes a little further than Mrs Palin by saying that Homosexuality is as much of a sin as bestiality and child molestation. Similar tact, though I think Palin may have actually copied from God on this one. That's how cheaters are caught, they copy from people with the wrong answer.

5. Paul Joseph Goebbels

Better known simply as Joseph Goebbels. He was the propaganda minister for the Nazi regime, forcing all to listen to the Nazi message, a message full of lies, mistruths and manipulation all under the guise of morality.

Comparison to God

Evangelism takes up a key part of God's message, that is essentially Christian propaganda, but more tellingly look at the best selling book of all time! The Bible, a single piece of Christian propaganda that espouses God's message, a message full of lies, mistruths and manipulation all under the guise of morality.

Yep, if God were a man and not a mythical entity he would have been tried and imprisoned long before his message would have time to corrupt so many. Unfortunately still we are told to pussy-foot around this creature, and we are supposed to believe his followers are some how moral? The worrying thing is Ireland has recently passed anti-blasphemy laws. The simple blog I am about to publish would incur a 32,000 Euro fine now in Ireland. 32,000 Euros for giving my opinion on what seems to me an evil, immoral and vengeful being. Could you imagine if a country passed a similar law protecting Hitler, Goebbels or anyone else on my list? Seems unlikely.
