The book of Job from the bible proves God is evil. This is how I see the story in the book of Job.
Job was happy and faithful, he had everything, a large healthy family, friends, a good business, land and a good home. The devil went to God and said "this guy Job is only happy and faithful becuse he has so much, take it away and he will not like you anymore."
God said, "ok, lets see if you are right, you can screw with the guy, but you can't hurt him. anything else is fair game."
God is letting someone screw with one of his moist faithful just to prove a point.
So the Devil takes everything away from Job, kills all his family and friends. Job was angry but he never lost faith.
In the Bible it says God gave it all back tenfold to Job, but God could not bring back all his dead friends and family, could he?
God let one of his most faithful followers suffer and loose his most prized, his orginal family and friends just so God could prove a point to the devil.
The book of job proves to me that God is evil.

I'm just sick of hearing him whine on about god and blaming the entity for his problems.

Dude there is no god so be glad. Now you have less things to be angry at. Now you can be angry at your brain for not working right.

Sometimes the kid gets bored and shakes up his ant farm.

I came to the conclusion I came to a long time ago, but I can respect that other people have had religion drilled into them or have particularly religious families or whatever and are still in the process of determining their beliefs. I don't find it boring.

Nothing proves that a god wrote the bible, though. Life just sucks period, god or no god.

I do, however, agree that if the bible WERE true somehow, then that would be one evil god. Check out sites like Evil Bible and Skeptic's Annotated Bible sometime.

In fact, given the political compromises involved in selecting the books to be included, it always struck me as a pretty haphazard collection.

Wondering why this was posted here, rather than in the philosophy section though.

If the thread starter wishes, we can move it to a more reasonable location. It's not going to
get a lot of interest here.

That was my bad, I did not see that section, you can move it if you like.

Believe to blame. That can be your motto.
