Shallow criticism is reading the bible and coming to the conclusion that god is a wrathful, genocidal, manic? You cannot be serious. I wasn't expecting to be called incompetent or dumb right out of the gate, but here we are. In verse after verse, god condones murder, mass-murder, slavery, genocide, rape, killing of children, etc. If god exists, it is not moral, it is not good, and it darn sure doesn't give two hoots about people.
If the bible is not to be taken as it is written, then what's the point of having it? Why does a god who "loves" you need to threaten you with damnation if you don't love and worship it? That's not unconditional love, that's a narcissistic, ego-driven maniac. Factor in the penchant for murder and blood lust and I don't see how any fair reading of the bible doesn't bring someone to the conclusion god is a murderous sociopath.
Not trying to be rude or disrespectful to your view here, but your notion that god works patiently through people is, frankly, a load of malarkey. So an all-knowing, omnipotent god doesn't know that humans will misconstrue its words? An all-knowing, omnipotent god can't correct things like that? An all-knowing, omnipotent god who loves you will sit idly by as people bomb, murder, torture, and commit the worst atrocities in its name? Seriously?
Back to the point of this thread as it pertains to abortion: god if it exists is not pro-life because it has killed so many children that it would be a mass murderer based on that alone.
