YET in the stories where HE does step up and act for HIMself, hue and cry is raised for HIS personal cruelty, no?
it doesn't matter that a hue and cry is raised. What matters is that he does the dirty work himself. Why?
1: Because he is taking responsibility for his own actions rather than having others do that dirty work.
2: He reveals himself to exist by showing in every instance he is willing to step up and do the dirty work.
In both 1&2 he does away with any confusion related to any corruptible practices which can otherwise be done in his name/by his assumed authority and thus does away with the evil humans do to each other in his name, making it unnecessary for humans to wonder as to which path to take in relation to him. Hiding away and allowing this practice to go on does nothing commendable in relation to trying to understand exactly where this particular idea of GOD is positioned.
If there is no win for HIM, then what does that say about the interpretation HIS detractors offer??
There can be no 'win' for him as he has allowed/otherwise has no ability to stop evil being done in his name and the stories verify this as being the case.
It is bad enough that evil humans do evil to one another (both in the name of GOD and in the name of politics) that a GOD purported to being all-powerful allows for evil to consistently crush the life out of goodness.
IF HE is so evil and hostile, why has anyone survived at all for so long?
Because, without people to worship such a GOD, what has such a GOD got? This idea of GOD requires the living to live in the circumstances they do, without lifting a hand against evil for the sake of goodness.
A Satanic God would have destroyed us, especially believers, a loooooong time ago, for what use are we to him except as sources of cruel pleasure???
Precisely WHY this idea of GOD is more diabolical than anything else. What use to such a GOD are dead humans? The idea is to have them live in the circumstances they do and either believe in him in fear, or not believe in him but either way, living in circumstances which are far from ideal for any.
IF HE is evil then righteousness is sin, right? Why did an evil God allow the holy angels to throw Satan down to the earth???
All such a story does is add to the confusion already surrounding this particular idea of GOD.
All your particular belief system does is state that we are all 'Satan' as we all exist on this planet Earth. Thus we are the ones cast down from heaven by these angels and if that be the case, we should at least learn from that, that something is very amiss in this particular idea of GOD...perhaps it is fair to say that this particular idea of GOD
is Satan playing at being GOD, and therefore is NOT GOD at all, as some beliefs certainly state.
One particular
comprehensive data about that theory is that this universe is a creation of an evil inter dimensional species which has preyed upon a less knowledgeable species (humans) in order to enslave them within a hologram which they cannot tell for certain is real or not, but assume that it is.
The species is called the Annunaki and the king of the species is called Anu.
Now you might scoff at such data, but what makes it any more or less true than the bible accounts?
The point being, mainly, that even by the standards of your own professed beliefs on this message board, evil is less able to be seen for what it is by those who are themselves evil.
Your desire to be part of the 'Bride of Christ' is specific to this idea that one can turn a blind eye to the evil that this GOD has purportedly done, in order to find a special place in his heart for your salvation.
Something is most definitely amiss, and even a tentatively righteous person would not turn from the opportunity to question the motives of such an idea of a GOD, or the motives of those who follow unquestionably after him.
