You Are On Your Own; Yahweh is Not Omniscient

-


 The bible says God is all knowing, he knows what we think, our secrets, sees everything and it is impossible to hide from him. This is outlined by these verses; 1 Samuel 2:3, Job 28:24, 37:16, Proverbs 15:3 and so on and so forth. But below, we get to find out that he doe not know everything.


Gen 3:8-13- God's creation, Adam and Eve hide themselves from God. They hide behind bushes to hide their nakedness. God searches for them and interrogates them.

Gen 18:20-21. Then the lord said "the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sins are grievous". In verse 21, God decides to go down and see with his eyes if the outcry he had heard was indeed true.

Genesis 6:6. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. A God who knows everything would surely know that his creation would become faulty and would have no need to regret.

Genesis 32:22-30- Jacob has a physical fight with God. Jacob hits him at the hip, then subdues him. God Finally asks him who he is, as if he didn't already know

Numbers 22:9- Baalam and the officials of Moabites wait up late at night for God, who shows up for the meeting as expected. God asks Baalam who the men in his company were.

Job 1:7, 2:2- The Lord asks Satan where he has been, then Satan answers that he had just been wandering here and there.

Hosea 8:4- There were princes of Israel who underwent a setting up without the knowledge of God.

Deuteronomy 8:1-2- God says that he made the children of Israel to wander 40 years in the desert just to test their obedience. Yet God is claimed to know what is in everyone's hearts.

In Conclusion, God probably does not know everything or he pretends not to know everything. Either way, God does not portray omniscience.

Cesare Borgia was one of the illegitimate sons of a pope called Alexander V1,he was trained in the church and eventually became the archbishop in his teenage years. He was a tyrannical man. Valiant, fearless and merciless, he ruled with a heavy hand. He was the modern day slay king, but very power hungry.  He was deceitful and very randy, sleeping with many women and engaging in shady deals. It is even suspected that he had sexual escapades with his own sister Lucrezia. He was considered the most handsome  man in Italy and he seemed to know it as he wore the most fashionable clothes.He got syphilis at a youthful age of 20 years. Borgia employed Leonardo Da Vinci as his engineer and military architect. The two had a sexual relationship and Da Vinci, having an artistic soul painted Borgia many times. His handsome face from the paintings was used for centuries as an inspiration to represent Jesus Christ. Christians worshipped and adored his image for a long time. History has re...

Why are Atheists Always So Angry?

-
   Atheists have been long been misunderstood as bitter people. People who went through bitter experiences and are now channeling their anger to "God". We have been told about our mental health being in a poor state. We have been called lost and misguided. These words are by no means polite, they are pretty much accusatory, of ignorance and weakness on our part. Strangely enough, believers don't understand why such comments would put us off. In fact, believers expect atheists to respect every bible verse that springs out of their mouth, they expect atheists to cow when they threaten them with doom, curses and hellfire, to take their words so seriously. I consider this a very poor attitude towards civility. I as an atheist, am angry, at the continuous religious indoctrination of every generation that comes forth. I am angry that I cannot openly proclaim my atheism lest people get a bad image of me, may see me as a byword, may even start alienating me. I am  angry that athe...

Kina the TV series and it's portrayal of atheism

   It is heartbreaking that most religious people have the idea that atheism is the symbolism of evil. Most have the tendency to think that atheist minds are under the influence of the lord of the underworld, namely , 'Satan'. It is expected that a non believer of religion  has no conscience to steer him or her away from evil, and that the ability to do good comes from a god. This is quite wrong since we all know that animals such as dogs and elephants have demonstrated acts of kindness despite them not being followers of any religion. That aside, I got a few chances to watch Kina the Kenyan TV series and wasn't much shocked to find out that Nana, the villain in the story is an atheist. In one of the episodes, she opens up about not believing in God. This is quite good evidence that atheism is equated to evil here in Kenya. Believers are likely to label you as a Satan adherent if they find out you are an atheist, despite atheists not believing in the biblical...
