This blog is dedicated to the destruction of this thing humans call God. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Epicurus

No Doubt About it: God Is Evil
I don't want it to be true either but facts are facts. I even appeal to God by telling him that nobody actually loves him and that they are all kissing his ass out of fear but God is too much of an ego maniac to accept that reality. God is actually quite pathetic and pure evil so regardless of what we do here we're all fucked.
Evil actually believes it is good. Satan on the other hand has been labeled as evil but if Satan recognizes that he is evil or believes it then unlike God, Satan's creator, Satan perhaps has a moral compass because Satan is able to make the distinction. While God is not immune to logic and truth he salves himself from it in his orgies of terror and sadism. God is completely and totally evil and pathetic and cannot be redeemed. God is immune to redemption but IMO God is not indestructible.
God is vulnerable because if he were indeed all powerful he would not have to lie and tell the world how awesome he is. This was illustrated beautifully in an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation where a character named Ardra, a galactic con artist and a real fucking cunt extorted a civilization for payments. (The actress was named Marta Dubois and the episode was called Devil's Due which aired in 1991. In the end Piccard and his crew busted her and exposed her parlor tricks. I think the writers got their inspiration from Bible God.
In the movie The Final Frontier Spock, McCoy, Kirk and a rogue Vulcan scientist break through an energy barrier and come face to face with God who looks very much like Michael Angelo's God. Like Bible God, this god is a lying sack of shit con artist who want to hitch a ride on the USS Enterprise. Kirk asks, "Why does God need a star ship." That pisses off God and in typical God style God punishes Kirk. I the end a Klingon ship shows up and Spock manning a big fucking phase cannon kills God. I love that scene!

Hypocritical Christians and Their Evil God
At the request of a mother of a child with a visual disability, I removed a picture of a tyke who was wearing thick glasses to correct a congenital eye defect. God is the cause of birth defects. God hates little children so he causes them biting maladies. It seems that God is such a pathetic loser that he is still punishing all humanity because Adam and Eve got tricked by a talking snake and ate a piece of fruit. I say to God fuck you for doing this to that INNOCENT boy child.
God has rejected this child. Everyone should reject god!
Leviticus 21:18-22New International Version (NIV)
18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand,20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles.

God's Evil Acts
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
- Richard Dawkins
There is plenty of evil in “the Good Book,” but here are some highlights:
1. God drowns the whole earth.
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

Now, Christians have spent thousands of years coming up with excuses for a loving god that would allow or create such evil. In fact, they’ve come up with 12 basic responses, which are the subject of The Tale of the Twelve Officers.

EvilBible.com
EvilBible.com Web Site
The best way to trap a liar or criminal is with their own words. The Bible has been called the living Word of God and if one were to read the Bible one would find 1000's of lies, compound lies admissions of evil doing, absurdities and blatant contradictions right from the mouth of God.
The following is from the website EvilBible.com I would encourage anyone who hates God and religion and loves truth to visit EvilBible.com and share it on Facebook and Twitter
This web site is designed to spread the vicious truth about the Bible. For far too long priests and preachers have completely ignored the vicious criminal acts that the Bible promotes. The so called “God” of the Bible makes Osama Bin Laden look like a Boy Scout. This God, according to the Bible, is directly responsible for many mass-murders, rapes, pillage, plunder, slavery, child abuse and killing, not to mention the killing of unborn children. I have included references to the Biblical passages, so grab your Bible and follow along. You can also follow along with on-line Bibles such as BibleStudyTools.net or SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com.
It always amazes me how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said “Thou shall not kill”. For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.
The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).
This type of criminal behavior should shock any moral person. Murder, rape, pillage, plunder, slavery, and child abuse can not be justified by saying that some god says it’s OK. If more people would actually sit down and read the Bible there would be a lot more atheists like myself.
Jesus also promoted the idea that all men should castrate themselves to go to heaven: "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." (Matthew 19:12 ASV) I don't know why anyone would follow the teachings of someone who literally tells all men to cut off their privates.
The God of the Bible also was a big fan of ritual human sacrifice and animal sacrifice.
And just in case you are thinking that the evil and immoral laws of the Old Testament are no longer in effect, perhaps you should read where Jesus makes it perfectly clear: "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB) There are many more quotes on this topic at my "Do Not Ignore the Old Testament" web page.
I know that most Christians believe that God is a good and loving god, and wants people to do good things. I believe that most people want to do good things and behave morally. I also believe that many Christians haven’t really read the Bible, or just read certain passages in church. This is understandable, as the Bible is hard to read due to its archaic language and obscure references. Also many priests and preachers don’t like to read certain passages in the Bible because they present a message of hate not love.

What Would Jesus Do?
What Would Jesus Do?
from Evil Bible
Advocate child abuse and murder amongst many
other cruelties.
Christians are always
claiming, “he’s the lamb”, “our savior”, “the king of peace”, “the embodiment of
love”, amongst the many other names they associate with a loving, merciful
nature. Jesus a nice guy? Not in my book. Nor in any other person’s who is
capable of compassion and rationality. Let’s examine who the hell the Jesus
character really is. These verses will show not only is Jesus’ “loving” nature
a joke but so are the Christians who worship him. Jesus’ real mission to come
to earth:
Jesus says that he has come to
destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has “come not to
send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34
Jesus says, “Don’t imagine that
I came to bring peace on earth! No, rather a sword lf you love your father,
mother, sister, brother, more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. “The
real beauty of this verse is that Jesus demands people truly love him more then
they love their own family. I ask you how can we love someone that we can not
see or interact with? Love is an emotion pertaining to physical existence not
to faithful ideologies, yet God threatens you with Death just because your love
for your mother maybe stronger than your love for him. Matthew 10:34
Families will be torn apart
because of Jesus. “Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and
cause them to be put to death." Matthew 10:21
Jesus strongly approves of the
law and the prophets. He hasn’t the slightest objection to the cruelties of the
Old Testament. Matthew 5:17
Jesus advocates murder and death:
Jesus condemns entire cities to
dreadful deaths and to the eternal torment of hell because they didn’t care for
his preaching. Matthew 11:20
Jesus, whose clothes are dipped
in blood, has a sharp sword sticking out of his mouth. Thus attired, he treads
the winepress of the wrath of God. (The winepress is the actual press that humans
shall be put into so that we may be ground up.) Revelations 19:13-15
The beast and the false prophet
are cast alive into a lake of fire. The rest of us the unchosen will be killed
with the sword of Jesus. “An all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
Revelations 19:20-21
Jesus says he is the only way to salvation yet he
purposely disillusions us so that we will go to hell:
Jesus explains that the reason
he speaks in parables is so that no one will understand him, “lest . . . they .
. . should understand . . . and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:10-15
Jesus explains why he speaks in
parables to confuse people so they will go to hell. Mark 4:11-12
Jesus advocates child abuse:
Jesus is criticized by the
Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He defends himself by
attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to the
commandment: “He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.” Matthew
15:4-7
Abandon your wife and children
for Jesus and he’ll give your a big reward. Jesus asks that his followers
abandon their children to follow him. To leave your child is abuse, it’s called
neglect, pure and simple. Matthew 19:29
Jesus criticizes the Jews for
not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law. Mark 7:9
A few other things about Jesus:
Jesus says that those who have
been less fortunate in this life will have it even worse in the life to come.
Mark 4:25
Jesus sends the devils into
2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. Clearly
Jesus could have simply sent the devils out, yet he chose instead to place them
into pigs and kill them. This is called animal abuse. Mark 5:12-13
Jesus kills a fig tree for not
bearing figs, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as
Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something
this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees
don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13
Luke 12:47 Jesus okays beating
slaves.
