if I was a god, I would say no more bruising or curses are ever needed anymore, everyone is forgiven, and let's let bygones be bygones. That's why I know Yahweh is bad. He doesn't forgive but wants us to. He has this law and these stories and these traditions, and too many have suffered and died over them. Enough. Why can't people think for themselves about what is kind and true and right? Why do they need to be slaves to a judgemental demanding alien that masquerades as a deity?
