The Bible, God, Creation, Flawed Stock


SOME QUESTIONS

According to the Bible and most religious people, God created the world, the universe, whether it was10 thousand years ago or over 10 billion years ago. Okay, let’s take that as a fact. Although, I think more of us believe in the big band theory.  For whom did he create all this? For everyone in this world? For everyone in the universe, if there is anyone else out there? For the Jews? For the Christians? For the Muslims? For the Hindus, etc, etc, etc? Did He mean for there to be an Under-God for each religion? Did He also create these Gods? Did he mean for there to be one Bible? Or did he want for Man, as a collective, to make the Good Book into what Man wanted it to be; as it is now?
It seems to me, and according to Moses, our great one God only meant for the Bible to be for the Jews, his chosen people, who he led throughout the land to slaughter all who held His people in slavery, every man woman, child and baby. All, of course, except for the virgins that is, divide all their riches, their cows, their sheep, their slaves. Does this sound like a loving God? Why is the Old Testament even a part of the Bible? It’s filled with horror stories. It turns my stomach reading it. But then, I guess it’s no worse than what one finds in the news papers of today. I don’t read them anymore, nor do I watch that crap on The Tube.
This God depicted in the Bible made a big mistake when He created his first 2 beings. He made everything perfect  except the main characters. Was he tired from his work when it was time to do His greatest creation? He flawed them and then cursed them to suffer for His mistake. It’s just not logical for a god capable of creating a universe to start off with flawed stock. If one is setting up a farm to raise cattle or sheep, isn’t it logical to start off with the best stock available? And is the stock is not good, whose fault is it? You sure don’t go out in the herd and start kicking around the poor animals for not going or doing what you want them to do without any guidance. A good Sheppard must guide his flock.  
 And then, family members began killing each other. Does any of this sound logical? Again this is the Sheppard’s fault. One must teach his young bulls not to fight or trim their horns so they cannot hurt each other.
Just some food for thought. These are just a small part of what turned me against religion and the so called Good Book. Have a pleasant day.
