so what, god in the bible is a bloodthirsty murderer who forces people to perform arbitrary tasks and then punishes them for deviating but when one of his angels rebels against him and tries to save people from god, the angel is the bad guy? am i understanding this right?
>>18226947>arbitrary tasksHow did you conclude this?> tries to save people from godBy lying to them and making them mortal, great going thereMost Satanism and its bootlegs really boil down to "if we skip some of the main premises, the story looks different" lmao
>>18226969>How did you conclude this?there are things which god demands of people completely out of the blue to prove their loyalty to him - if it were humans doing this, it would be classified as narcissism, so why does god need to do it?>By lying to them and making them mortal, great going theredid god not do this at any point? satan was actually more merciful than god in that he offered to give eve freedom from god to become like him - god never did anything like that - god wanted to keep eve weak and pliablei find the entire argument that it was a corruption to be sort of weak. if you are freeing people from an influence which completely constrains them for arbitrary's sake and limits their potential as a being, how is that corruption? that is the complete opposite of corruptionis exiting plato's cave a corruption? whenever one of the greek gods consciously prevents a human from gaining a great power, the god is considered brutish but when the biblical god does the same thing, he is considered just?every single thing about the biblical god points to him mainly being narcissistic, petty and cruel, no matter which angle you attack it from
>>18227000>if it were humans doing this, it would be classified as narcissism, so why does god need to do it?And if it were a fruit-fly doing this, it would be called a miracle. But it's God. That you don't know his motives is nowhere near a sufficient argument to call his requests arbitrary.>satan ... offered to give eve freedom from godDid he? Well Eve took up his offer, she ate her apple. Was she free from God? Satan is a liar even by your own retcon.>god never did anything like thatGod gave people eternal life and an option to become divine. Beats an apple in my eyes.>limits their potential as a beingThe limit wasn't in the apple. It was in Adam and Eve. The first thing they did after eating it was hide from omnipresence and lie to omniscience. They were clearly not ready.>is exiting plato's cave a corruption?That is entirely up to the person exiting. If they get retarded and die, yes, they let it corrupt them and they should have waited to be ready.
