thought of the day.152

Jesus starved people to the point of eating their own babies, afterbirth and all. He sent armies to kill, rape, and enslave his own chosen ones. He blessed those that slaughtered their friends and family. He rained fire and brimstone upon the young and the old. He sent poisonous snakes to bite them and wild animals to devour them. Jesus made laws that demanded all the men of a city stone brides on their wedding night who couldn’t prove their virginity. He permitted a father to sell his daughters into lifelong slavery. He commanded the genocide of entire nations and drowned every child in the world. If Jesus is understood to be God then Jesus committed these atrocities and if we define this God as “Good” is there any wonder why humans can justify their atrocities as being “God’s will”?
