Who wrote, “God is Cruel, Perverted, Insane and a Mass Murderer”?

Reverend Thom, a frequent contributor to “WorldUnited Ministries Archive,” stated that his point is this: many religious texts—not just the Old Testament of the Bible—are written so that adopting the concepts therein without critical thought can result in negative consequences.

In his April 7, 2007 post on WorldUnited Ministries, Rev. Thom titled this essay, "God is Cruel, Perverted, Insane and a Mass Murderer (The God of the Fundamentals, that is.)" and began the essay with "God is Cruel? Surely not!"

To support his observations, Rev. Thom references various passages of the Holy Bible, including Deuteronomy 13:12-18, Exodus 22:19, Exodus 31:12-15, Leviticus 20:9, Leviticus 20:10, Romans 1:24-32, Second 2 Chronicles 15: 12-13, Second Kings 2:23-24, and Second Samuel 12:11-14.

He also compares Christian Fundamentalists with Islamic Fundamentalists.

Perhaps with good reason and definitely understandably, Reverend Thom does not reveal any details about himself, choosing to remain anonymous apart from his chosen pen name.

You ALL should research the BIBLE before you add your comments, so to better understand what he is trying to convey, otherwise, stay silent in your words and also with text.

Bro. Thom is correct!

As the Koran was written with reference to the Bible and Torah, no wonder many of the stories are the same. They would have embellished their own of course. Have you read the Bible Drew Johnson? The violence it contains would not be tolerated today, and hopefully we don't agree with it.

I don't remember the details, but somewhere in the Old Testament God tells his people to kill all the occupants of the land they are supposed to move to, including all the babies and children. There are other instances of "cruelty" but that's enough to get you started.

It requires courage of conviction to speak out such truths

Marianne Coetzer, Is THAT what you git from this? Truly, for your own well-being, get some remedial reading help.

Noreen Kelly, Not a coward, just tired of dealing with brainwashed sheeple like you.

Darla Collins, And yet another guesser who can't or won't read. I guess some religions make you too lazy to read...or too brainwashed to understand.

edelbill

Drew Johnson, Pity you cannot or will not read what's written...

It's amazing how many people who profess to believe in God have no idea how to read, understand, or pay attention. Sad...

The Bible says God is love .

Poorly written and no depth of thought or understanding! This so called reverend has no idea!!! If you're going to pick out scriptures about God you need to understand and comprehend the whole Bible! But those without the understanding of the Bible will never see the truth and love of God! That is why atheists will never comprehend the word of God!!

Stephen Sparrow

The Bible was never meant or written for unbelievers!!

I see I was among the masses who thought brother Bartholomew.

Ah! The half truth! Devil's favorite! The battles of angels and demons are in the heavenly realms. God wants us to know the whole truth. Half truth is akin to gossip. It hurts people.

Jesus Christ who walked this earth, was half man, half God. He gave us an love, an example, and a way back to God, if we only open our closed minds. If you do not believe it, try reading the best seller of all times, the Bible, John 3:16.
