Much of the bible is just not humane, let alone divine. In my opinion, to put so much effort into excusing these writings in the face of so many truly cruel passages and the horrific suffering in the world is indicative of an unhealthy relationship. The neglectfulness of their god in making himself clear, or even kind, is ignored through massive effort. They spend their lives trying to build a relationship with a silent and neglectful partner, whom they excuse for cruel acts and words. Christians jump through hoops for their god and their beliefs,engineering experiences and emotions while the cool reality is that there is silence at the other end. Christians blame themselves if they feel something is going wrong in their lives or their heartfelt and anxious prayers are not answered, rather than blame or question the existence of the silent god who leaves them to suffer the worst that life can throw at them.
So do you feel sorry for them?
