Why Progressive Interpretations Of The Old Testament Still Do Not Justify Its God Morally

Why Progressive Interpretations Of The Old Testament Still Do Not Justify Its God Morally

Yeshua and politics


     Yeshua was just a failed apocalyptic, but whose movement spread.
     Walter Kaufmann  observes that he ignored political reality for the most part, stressing ever people's need for their own salvation, and I add, those treasures they stored in Heaven.

No Deluge,no Exodus!

The Tanakh carries false history. The false Deluge ,as the article notes, came f rom an earlier source. No patriarchs existed! No stay of Hebrews in  Egypt occurred, much less the Exodus. Archaeologists have not found the mountains of detritus- remains- needed as evidence for the Exodus.
  Around the time of David and Solomon, the Tanakh offers some real history. However, those two probably were only chieftains, never having achieved the combined kingdom of Israel and Judah, and never having the fortune claimed for them.
    Furthermore, just what are the good metaphors that liberal theologians find in that awful anthology anyway? What is the good one for the murderous Deluge? What is the good one for hardening Pharaoh's heart that he  decided not to let the Hebrews leave? What is the good one for murdering all those first-born Egyptian babies?
       Why would a good God command genocide and what is its good metaphor/
       Misogynistic,  mean-minded misanthropes just made the anthology of hate  from their evil imaginations!
          This type of matter in this anthology and such in the Christian Testament and any other scriptures help make me a gnu atheist, anti-theist! The apologetics and the arguments for Him likewise make me one. And the evils of religion do that also.
          Why not find the good in such as Aesop's Fables, which don't threaten us in any manner but do educate us how to behave better?
           By the way, a good God would never have anyone to worship him n or would God have any rights over us! My gnu atheism goes thus to the heart of theism, that heart of stone!

Dwindling In Unbelief: 50 reasons to be ashamed (and not a fan) of Jesus

Jefferson & his Yeshua and those other fables

       I daresay that Jefferson's endorsement of Yeshua's morality leaves this rationalist cold! I do contemn Yeshua's morality/ethic as that of a cult leader and flawed moral leader, an immoralist as Miklos Jako notes in " Confronting Believers."

       Yes, the previous article rightly notes  not only Christ= insanity but also other religions lack authority over us. It borrowed nonsense from Moses' Folly that itself  was similar to other Canaanite cultures- for instance, the Deluge. Zoroastrianism- now the Parsee Rump- gave both the after life and Hell, albeit it is not so pronounced in Judaism.^ Muhammad's Fits borrowed from both Arian Christianity and Judaism. Smith's Fraud added its own fables.

        All revelations reflect people's own imaginations, their own mental processes. No supernatural beings ever give information to anyone! We now know how these religions developed. No God directed their outcomes!

             Some religious claim that morality has divinely developed gradually, as God sees fit to make morality adapt to people,  in effect. No, we refine our evolved moral sense. Indeed, the Enlightenment evidences that. Had Locke and others gone by their Scriptures, why, liberty would not occur!

            As Steven Pinker* and Richard Carrier*  declaim people now can be more moral than those of the Ages of Faith.

Bible prophecies-more ignorance


      Why would any rational persons accept the discredited rants of misanthropes? That anthology depends reeks of ignorance!
     None of the prophecies fructify, and Christians misapply those of the Tanakh wrongly onto  Yeshua.
      To  accept them means to accept the mere imaginations of mere misanthropes.
       Tim Callahan flings prophecies to the cesspool where they belong in " Bible Prophecy: Failure or Fulfillment?"
         Ah, of course, apologists do so rationalize prophecies as they rationalize any of their absurd idead!
