So, Abraham was just hanging out with this Yahweh character, and they are trying to figure out what is going on down in the city. I thought no one can see god and live. An omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent being should not have to wander into the town to see who is naughty or nice. And then to consider killing innocent women and children due to the actions of a few.
This god is a psychopath, and this fable reads like a dark Monty Python skit.
Unfortunately the ancient world was full of this stuff. Because if he killed just all the men who participated in gang-r***ing visitors, suddenly you have a bunch of women and children with no protection and no food supply. Yay starvation. And if he magically provides food for every starving person, then bye-bye causality and consequences.
The bible talks about a God who comes down and engages with humans on our level. Maybe you think that's undignified and he should just sit in heaven smiting everyone from way up there? YHWH ain't Zeus.
"As a theologian of a loving God, how do you explain that Yahweh orders the extermination of men, women, and children and claims for himself 675 sheep, 72 oxen, 61 donkeys, and 32 virgins after a battle against the Midianites (Numbers 31:32-40)? This portion of the spoils was not for the service of the tabernacle, as Numbers 31 explains: it was for Yahweh’s personal use. One only wonders why a spiritual and transcendent “God” would need 32 virgins — or 61 donkeys, for that matter"

The Lord loves the sweet savor of a good BBQ,
and I would bet he fancies a bit of bestiality with
those donkeys.
The donkeys will take turns on Daniel L... the hysterical Pansy loser who screeches like the fat pigs of the "View".
Shame on you. God will not be mocked.
Which "God"?

What is she going to do about it?
This god is sounding more like the Wizard of Oz.
Just a normal guy, not really all powerful and all knowing.
LOL!!! So true!
Is Yahweh a "good guy"?? Or... ???
