I'm saying I have seen a lot of post recently about the OT God, which from what I can see can be called the death God, because he can't help but kill people or order people to kill. the OT god is one of the most vicious characters in all of literature, somehow the religious faithful try to defend it by saying, "Well those people were evil and didn't listen to God," which is a pathetic answer, but seem to forget these quotes..... "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things" (Isa 45:7 KJV) -- "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil" (Prov 16:4 KJV) -- "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6 KJV).
So if it is God creating this evil, how can they make excuses? Is God just PO'D? OR is this an allegory and is quite unworthy to think of a God in this manner? Man he is so angry.
