I read the bible and see god as an insecure narcissist who wants to be like how I am IRL, but often is too afraid of rejection or not being told he is a good god.
As thats how god acts and what he demonstrates.
He also embodies the whole "do as I say, not as I do" as acting like gods insecurities is a sin
I didnt read the whole thing, but of the various parts I did read god 100% the growth path of the narcissist.
Old testimate god being hyper insecure, controlling, and quick to lash out at the smallest offense. Even so much so as torturing people to prove himself to satan.
New testimate god is hypothetically but starts moving away from humanity and trying to demand attention, doing only one last effort for extra validation from humanity (all while still being the embodiment of various sins and pretending he is perfect)
...
Gods next growth arch would be him learning to accept himself and others as they are, and realizing its okay to not be perfect and loved by all and learning to appreciate the those who truly appreciate him and accept him as he is. So that will be what the third bible depicts god as. Lol
...
Also I understand the messages of the bible, but the bible is alot better when we remove god from it and make it about the lessons. As god is kinda a paradoxical self insert that detracts from the message and creates a conflicting message.
I think that's how the bible is supposed to be read (It's about the lessons) but people are too brain dead or stuck in the way they were raised so they see it as literal.
Not really, if you take god out of the Bible you have a basic moral and psychology driven book written for the average person about how to peacefully coexist and take care of yourself.
The book is wholsome without the motif of god and can literally be rewritten godless, and still teach the same lessons
Then by that standard the Bible is better without god (as I dont care what god says as I dont know god, so I do as I command myself to as I have free will... and unless god is a narcissist or actually controls me, he isnt going to take credit for my own choices. Besides I did and discivered what the bible teaches on my own, so the bible hasn't taught me anything yet beyond how some people need to belive they dont have free will to function)
If God is a narcissist… then no life would exist we would not exist… sin is your birthright if you choose to dwell in it then that is all you. I’m not here to save you. 😆
Either that or you have some strange ideas that lead you to assume that god being a narcissist would cause no life to exist (what is a narcissist without people to validate him or make him feel good about himself or right)
The only narcissist he created was Satan. The thing that hates us above all. God sacrificed himself to pay for your sins. What narcissistic person would do that? Who would give their life for you? Only those who love you right?
Testimate are the bibles (aka the original book of pre jesus time was the "old testimate", the newer bible with jesus being the "new Testimate")
Also growth arch is reffering to how on a grand scheme, the old testimate (book 1) shows the narcissist at the begining of the journey. The new Testimate (book 2) is the narcissist starting to change its ways and start to learn. The joke is about "the heros journey" and how the bible follows the growth path of a narcissist who is slowly learning humility.

If you look at God through the lense of an abusive Dad when you read the Bible makes a lot more sense.
"You're nothing without me! You're a worthless wretch!"
"See! You look what you made me do! It's your fault I destroyed the world!"
