He forces Nobody to seek him....
Bullshit! Absolute bullshit!
2 Chronicles 15:13
"That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."
Deuteronomy 13:6-11
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; 8Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 9But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you."
He flat out commands the murder of those who don't seek him. That is force if I ever saw one.
@ Churchy LaFemme So, he can create the entire universe, but is so insecure that he needs unquestioning adoration from his creations? That's as stupid as me setting up an ant farm and threatening to destroy it if the ants don't worship me on a regular basis.
It's even stupider than that. It would be like setting up an ant farm, selecting a group of ants to obey your commands and command them to attack and hate their fellow ants for the first few years, and then turn around and threaten to destroy those are in the first group unless they worship you in a different way, and then make sure only a few ants will understand this message all without any evidence that you exist. Finally in the end, you select a few ants to survive and burn the rest....for ETERNITY!
