As i read the Bible, i have a hard time buying the narrative that God is all knowing. He just gets way too angry. [Spirituality & Religion]

Thinking specifically of Isaiah and Jeremiah, God is so, so pissed that the people are worshipping idols and not obeying the law of their ancestors.
Like my anger will burn like a fire forever, i will have your enemies strip and rape you, your bodies will be like piles of manure on the ground etc etc.

Would someone really be (or reasonably be) that angry about something they knew from the very beginning was coming?
Seems crazy to me.

Emotions and intellect are two separate things. But knowing for sure what will happen and having a reasonably good guess are also separate.

I'd expect more from an omnipotent being.

@Pikachu I would hope for more from one. But seeing how messed up humans are, can we really expect any deity to be better?

@fernie2 we can do better. We've already come so far.
