    This is ridiculous. The Bible means what it means and what it meant to the people it was originally written for. You can "infer" all you want but it doesn't change the fact that it had a specific message for a specific time. You don't make up physics as you go, or chemistry, and expect it to be just as valid as real chemistry or physics.

    Anytime you have someone claiming to know the mind of God .. what God thinks, what his purpose is .. and so on - you know this person is irrational.

    If you are talking the God of the Bible - one must ask "Which God" ?

    Are you referring to the God of Abraham ? (El, Elyon, El Shaddai) The creator God, The Father and so on .. or - are you referring to the God of Moses YHWH - one of El's son's - The flip flopping irrational genocidal xenophobic God with the most petty and nasty of human characteristics ?

    This YHWH God who makes a Law (Children are not to be punished for the sins of their parents) who then turns around and commands the Israelite's to kill babies and children - because of the sins of their parents.

    Or is it the God of Jesus. The love neighbor as self - do unto others as you would have done to you/treat others as you would be treated - Judge not - Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone - God ?

    If God writes minds - God is then the author of all evil in your opinion.
