What was God Thinking?
発行者による作品情報
The Intro
In this humble compilation, we try to explain things so the average atheist-on-the-street can grasp what it is that Christians essentially believe (notwithstanding, some atheists are more knowledgeable about it than most Christians)...
...or, if you will...
...so the average person-in-the-pew can better explain it to to his atheist and agnostic friends (of which I hope he/she has many)...
...or better yet...
...understand it him/herself. We steer away from many of the tired cliches, and we take a second look at what the Bible really says about some issues, what this Christian thing is about, and what it's not about.
What we won't do is dwell on the usual sticking points, such as six-day creation, and how scientific the flood narrative is or isn't. There's simply too much else to unwrap and blow our minds to wait for everyone to agree on those issues.
What we will do is discuss whether the idea of a God who's both just and omnipotent is an oxymoron, whether the Bible supports genocide, whether the picture of God as an angry jealous old man, truly describes God's nature, and what made Christianity into the "white man's religion".
We will discuss as best we can exactly what God was thinking - what is His motivation in interacting with humanity.
The seven chapters included in this were originally published as separate booklets, as follows:
* How a Slap on the Ground Saved Four Dimensional Space-Time
* Getting a Handle on Omnipotence
* How the Omnipotent One Used Politically Incorrect Methods to Fix the Universe
* The Ultimate Fix
* Salvation, and it's Components
* Why All the Blood?
* How Did Christianity Become the White Man's Religion?
