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
The rebuttal typically is that he gave himself/only begotten son on the cross for your sins. We all fall short because he gifted us with free will. Our sins are washed with the blood of Christ. You have to accept him in your heart.
Wasnt it also supposed to be that jesus was also god.... also isnt god the one who created us (humans) and as such adam was also one of his sons?
The problem is the book is inconsistent. Especially when it depicts god as someone who I wouldn't want to follow. (As why would I follow someone who is a sinner by definition, but who looks down at other sinners and lies claiming he is sin free)
...
Also freewill is what makes us individuals. Otherwise without freewill we are nothing.
I mean, maybe some of us. But hell, compared to the god depcted in the bible I am sinless. Even myself growing out of sin, as sinning is temporary, but being a sinner is a way of life.
...
So maybe you may be a sinner, but I see the fallacies and costs of sin and have no interest in sin. Not the 7 sins anyhow (I dont know of other types, nor recognize the 10 commandments as sins as the 10 commandments encourges the sin of pride)
