How would you rate the "morality" of the "Christian God" of the Bible?

Zero being totally immoral, and ten being the pinnacle of all morality.

Feel free to cite an example or two (or more if you wish) of why you feel the way you do.

I'll start with a simple question.

How is it moral, in any sense of the word, to murder the first born child of anyone regardless of their beliefs?

God created them...He has the ultimate right to take their lives away...according to His perfect justice laid out in the garden of Eden, all offspring in Adam's loins were already dead before they were even born...He allowed Adam to live long enough to being forth offspring, only because of His mercy...

I would rate it very poorly, just as I would any ideology based on Bronze Age myths.

That god is the devil. It's pretty obvious, from genocide to vanity, this creep covers all the bases. What kind of creep sends his son down to do his dirty work, only to have him tortured and then murdered?

This god's "perfect justice" is about as barbaric as was the Romans upon whom it was modeled.

And by the way, that would be the Hebrew God of the Bible, not the Christian God.

Stop being moronic.
The Old Testament is absolutely part of the Christian Bible, and the God of the OT is the same God as the God of the NT.

Splitting hairs and irrelevant, until you exclude all of those elements from the Bible then all of those influences speak to how Christians define their God, reference actions taken by, and explain them for that system of belief.

Every single bit of it become relevant in talking about source of morality.

So you admit that those who are pro-abortion are equally as moral as the Christian God of the Bible.

Nice job. :thumbs:

It appears there's hope for you after all.

No, it just cracks me up that the people who murdered an entire generation of what might have been brilliant doctors, scientists, scholars, and inventors come to places like this to sniveling about things they don't even know happened.

Fraid not. You will not find anything like that in the NT.

The OT God is the same God in the NT. So you want us to seriously believe that God woke up one morning and said "Yeah I guess stoning gay people was a bad idea along with all the other horrendous punishments I've given". Another reason man made religions are all bull****.

So let me get this straight: you came here to complain about a being you say does not exist over an event that you don't even know really happened and you call me "moronic"?

Birds of a feather...although nobody is surprised that you agree with atheists.

Bronze Age mythical deities of that region were not exactly renowned for exemplifying morality.

God id God regardless of who He is or isn't.

There is no proof of God.

We cannot rate God's morality, because he is only reflecting us and acting as our servant.

We cannot see God clearly because of ourselves.

So we don't really know what He is but there are indications in nature and scripture fallible, fallible logic and words of others.

After all, an eye for an eye.

Uh...same god, dude. Are you arguing that a different god impregnated that Mary chick? If so, which god would that be--Zeus?
