Yeah, that and basically the entire book of Job were a huge part of my decision to leave Christianity. Ultimately, I couldn't reconcile the idea of the "perfect, all-knowing, all-loving God" I'd been told to worship from birth (my grandfather was a famous minister and my parents were missionaries) with the God who slaughtered countless innocents just to punish their parents or worse, just to make a point, in the case of Job. Or the God who often allowed the Israelites to take their own conquered enemies as slaves (or at least the women and children), or who would just as often tell them to just slaughter their enemies to the last infant and burn their lands to ashes. Or who will casually send you to Hell to burn and be tortured for eternity if you don't worship him, or sometimes even if you do, just not in the right way. Because God loves everyone.

All of this. It is all so damn grotesque. And I never really could make the 'leap of faith' - there's some all-knowing, all-powerful being out there that lets children starve to death and lets murderers go free? And it's all 'god's will' and be happy with what you get? And I'm supposed to look up to this being and love and respect them?

No fucking thank you. My sunday school teacher telling us in like...fifth grade that 'African babies' that never heard of 'god' would go to hell pretty much sealed my fate. I mean...no fucking way.
