You seem to be asking two different and unrelated questions; one related to God and the other related to some Bible stories.
To address my beliefs on the former ("Is God good?") I would point you to a post I made some years ago in yet another iteration of the topic. You can find that post at Message 49 in the thread How do we know God is "Good"?. In the Bible stories again the answer would be "Of course that God is good" because that is the nature assigned to that character in that story.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Do the laws of one state or one society or one culture apply to other states, societies or cultures?

So let me ask this? So let me see if I have this correct (a simple yes or no will suffice): you believe that a real character in a book that, according to the book, wiped the face of the earth clean of nearly all living things, has a better moral fiber than Rahvin, an person that you only know via his postings on this website but via those postings has indicated a generally high moral standard? Is that correct?

The God of Genesis 2&3 should be held liable for creating an attractive nuisance.

Same Bible, same Old Testament, same God. Here God knows the count of the number of humans who don't yet know the difference between their right and left hand. See if you can give me a answer that is not a wise crack. How come we see God here taking great care not to judge the immature ? That is easy. It is a different story written by a different author meant to serve a different purpose describing a different God.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

But it is on topic. There is no one God found in the Bible rather a whole series as the concept of God evolved and each writer created a new God.
The God that is associated with the Flood Myth is an evil critter. The God in the Jonah myth is an entirely different critter.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

But what does that have to do with the topic?

Perhaps you can provide some evidence to support your assertion that "You're all being killed by lies, convoluted lies."

Are you aware that many Christians are expecting the final Antichrist soon? That's been true for over 2000 years now. Now on topic, Ganesha is definitely good, removing obstacles, assuring success, Lord of Letters and Learning.

That includes the doctrine of the TRINITY, which is rejected by Unitarian universalism, and excludes all those religions that deny that Christ is God who came to die for us. As a Protestant Christian though I need to point out that that belief simply cheapens Jesus Christ and Christianity and turns it into a really selfish "What's in it for me" con job. It also makes God look like a fool and Jesus as little more than a burnt offering.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

But that is only some Protestants and it still makes God look like a fool, Jesus worth little more than a burnt offering and diminishes all of what Jesus' life was worth.
