For me, this is all I need to know. And they actually didn't have their desired effect for over 2000+ years.
We can ignore any physics entirely. I'll grant that an all-wise omnipotent God could indeed perform these miracles without any problem at all. In fact, that's easy to do if we assume the universe is a computer simulation. As a computer programmer I am well aware of how easy it is to break the "
laws of physics" of a currently running program to do things that would not normally occur.
So any argument that these miracles would be in any way difficult for an omnipotent God to perform is a lost argument. If we assume that an omnipotent God exists, then performing these miracles would be a piece of cake. No problem at all.
So the ONLY relevant question is whether these actions were wise, or effective. Clearly they were neither wise, nor effective, even by this religion's own decree.
So there you go. Any God who did these ridiculous things cannot be all-wise. Such a God would necessarily be extremely inept in terms of knowing how to solve problems.
Therefore we can ignore the physics entirely. These religious fables are clearly false. They are just very poorly thought out, and quite ignorant, man-made tales. That should be obvious to everyone IMHO.
Why there exist people who actually think these tales make sense is the real mystery to me.
A God who "
sacrifices" himself or his only begotten demigod son for the purpose of offering undeserved amnesty to sinners that he was more than happy to drown out in a flood at an earlier time?
That makes no sense.
Plus, even according to these religious fables, only a few souls will be saved anyway. So would be an extremely desperate act on the part of a creator God who looses the vast majority of human souls he creates to eternal damnation.
In short, the Biblical God is necessarily an extremely inept and inefficient creator. There's just no getting around it. He creates far more souls that he condemns to eternal condemnation than he "saves". And even those he "saves" don't even deserve their salvation. He only grants them undeserved salvation if they are willing to condone having him (or his demigod son) brutally crucified on their behalf.
In other words, not only does he save a few undeserved sinners, but he actually saves the worst people possible. He'll only save those who are willing to accept having his supposedly innocent son brutally beaten and crucified on their behalf.
Decent people, like myself, who cannot condone such brutal ignorance, will be cast into hell because I won't condone this hideous act. So many of the best people end up going to hell simply because they reject the extremely ignorant and immoral behavior of this God.
Let's all hope that this is indeed nothing more than a very sick man-made fable. It would be horrible if we had actually been created by such an ignorant and brutal God who expect us to condone having an innocent demigod butchered to offer us undeserved amnesty from sins.
How can anyone not see that as being absolutely sick?
