“God is Pro-Life” –bumper sticker
Really? I don’t think so. God was not thinking pro-life when he sent the flood or set towns ablaze. God sanctioned selective infanticide by an assassin in the middle of the night.
The ironic outcome from years of Sunday school and bible study was I stopped believing in a Judeo-Christian God. I knew has a young child something was seriously wrong with what I had read and what I had been taught. I formed my own thoughts.
An enlightened being doesn’t kill to make their point or to teach a lesson. An all-powerful being doesn’t respond with brute force to get his way, weak people do. An all-knowing being doesn’t offer up free will to the newly created ‘kiddies’ and then gets angry when they exercise their free will. If God were an all-knowing being then he would have known what all mere mortal parents know: If you don’t want the kids to eat cookies, then don’t have them in the house.
