"Polytheistic religions worship many gods, and the bible acknowledges this, but they fail to worship The God who created all of the others."
So what, all the gods who were worshipped before your god came on the scene were just stand ins? Why would any god let another do something like that? How about Isis and Ra and Horus? They were around at least 1200 years before the old testament earth even began... What about Anu and Ishtar? Odin? Zeus? Crap, don't forget about Rudra/Shiva.
The list goes on and on and on. The point is that any faith that claims to have the one true god is entirely self-aggrandising and perhaps borders on megalomaniacal. How does one really know? Is it because the bible is supposed to be innerant?
Also, after reading Exodus chapters 3 and 4 again, and seeing how doubtful the author(s) made Moses of god, I think that he isn't self-absorbed at all, but is entirely insecure. Why else would he have to constantly reassure Moses that he was who he said he was? Isn't god's existence supposed to be self-evident? God even goes on to say that people won't believe Moses. Why not just exercise some of that omnipotence and make them believe? Seems a little passive-aggressive as well as insecure.
And finally, relax. Gord and Nigel mean well I'm sure. We're just having some fun with them, and any Gord or Nigel worth any praise would certainly welcome a little light-hearted fun don't you think? If not, then that Gord or Nigel isn't worth a pile of gopher poop, and I'll gladly live in permanent celestial serfdom to avoid having to grovel before a self-indulgent and petty, or insecure and/or narcissistic god like Larry.
P.S. (Watch out for Harriet, when she sets her mind to it, she's capable of some wickedly vicious smiting. She's definitely not worth your time, you'd best move on).
Am I missing something?
