It all sounds confusing. And now imagine a “friendly god” who created all this and, for tens of billions of years, has watched how this whole process—the birth and destruction of stars, the emergence of white dwarfs and black holes—repeats itself over and over again. If this god had a personality, he would have been bored out of his mind for ages. And if this friendly god would be immaterial, and purely spiritual, then he would have to be even more bored. Because to know everything about what is happening and what will happen results in an even bleaker existence.

Furthermore, one would realize that the universe consists of an infinite number of suns and planets, including trillions of worlds with life forms, including human-like forms. Thus, according to an extrapolation by NASA, there are 4.5 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone. And somewhere out there would be a friendly god who created all this. This god picks a blue world among the trillions of planets and creates intelligent beings—humans—and lets them develop. And among them, he prefers a special people. He gives his commandments, and because they do not do what he wants, he rages, rants, and threatens—all as recorded in the Bible. Yet, as a timeless being, he must have known from the outset that his creatures are stubborn donkeys, so there is no reason for the anger. But the Bible teaches the opposite. Would you care for some examples?

“They should die from epidemics, they should not be mourned and not be buried. They are to become manure in the fields, perished by the sword and by starvation, and their bodies should become food for the birds . . .” (Jeremiah, Chapter 16, Verse 4)

“The Lord said, ‘The dogs shall devour Jezebel. . . . Those who die by Ahab in the city shall be eaten by the dogs . . .’” (1 Kings, Chapter 21, Verse 24)

“If you turn away and ignore my statutes and commandments, I will destroy you . . .” (2 Chronicles, Chapter 7, Verse 19)

“They are locked up in the pit, locked up as prisoners, and they are locked in a cell and, after many days, will be punished . . .” (Isaiah Chapter 24, Verse 22)

“Behold, my servants will eat, you will starve. See, my servants will drink, you will be thirsty! Behold, my servants will rejoice, ye shall cry out in heartbreak . . . may the Lord God kill you . . .” (Isaiah Chapter 65, Verse 13)

“But I will chastise you all . . . I will pour out my wrath over them like water . . . I am like a moth and like a worm-eater . . .” (Hosea, Chapter 5, Verse 3 ff.)

“You shall be damned in the city and cursed in the field . . . The Lord will release the curse onto you, the consternation and the threat . . ., the Lord will attach the plague to you until he exterminates you . .
