Why do Christians make God out to be dumb?

Killing people for acts that should be handled in a civil manner, allowing slavery, destroying whole populations, including children, is not my idea of a benevolent God but of a psychopatic personallity.

God made a pact with Israel as his chosen ppl. Israel unfortunately drifted away from their promise to god about swearing to follow his direction. God sent profets to warn israel many times, time and time again even though israel witnessed many miracles as proof that he was indeed trying to help them, like liberate them from egypt, get water in the desert via a big rock and giving them the promised land. However, again, Israel started to drift of the comandments and other instructions from moses along with other profets, they had pleny of warning. some listened and got saved, some didnt and got death. Instruction, warning(lots of time) and finally the consequences...how is that not civil?

If the entire Bible is inspired by God then God obviously never took a course in Composition 101. God requires some 1,217 pages to explain what could be writen on a postcard.
A God who would have taught Adam and Eve the difference between good and evil and given them the teachings of Jesus day one and not some 4,000 years later.

adam and eve were perfect they had nothing bringing them down ...basically the scale was exactly even neither leaning towards darkness or goodness, the reason why jesus had to come is because adam and eve chose to believe some stranger(snake) over god, thus making offspring always tilt towards darkness(sin). His teachings were so we can make an effort to the goodness using his teachings, to avoid this "disease" we have of sinning.

The God of the Old Testament is a fabrication of primative minds and can't begin to compare with the sayings of Jesus.

Exactly. What you see is written by man, not God. Killing and slavery are not acceptable in any age. There is nothing in the Old Testament that is worth holding as holy. The New Testament works just fine without the embarassment of the Old Testament.
Placing the ramblings of the Old Testament on the same level as the sayings of Jesus is ridiculous and the mark of someone that really doesn't understand Jesus and what he was about.

its funny though, that jesus' teachings are majorly based on the old testament, theres only been updates ...but mostly jesus referenced many moses teachings( old testament) as well as other profets Edited by AdminPD, : Off Topic Warning
