How Yahweh is Guilty of Lying and Deceit

-

God told Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son on a certain mountain in the region of Moriah. Abraham accepted the crazy idea, to kill his son. He took him up into the mountains, carrying a load of wood and a knife to stab his son before he burnt him for the pleasure of Yahweh (the book claims he enjoys the smell of burning flesh). Just as he was about to stab his son, Yahweh interjects and offers him a ram that miraculously appeared from nowhere. His son is spared  and he goes ahead to burn the ram whose aroma would please Yahweh's nostrils. God knew that Abraham would accept to kill his son for him (because he is said to be omniscient), but he went ahead and tricked him into killing his son yet that was not what he wanted.

After the great floods that killed all the living  things except Noah and his family, God promised never to destroy the the living creatures of the earth again as seen in Genesis 8:21, but his conman-ship gets the better of him and he changes his mind in 2nd peter 3:10 "the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth with everything on it will be laid bare.Everything will be destroyed in this way". Instead of destroying it with a flood he destroys it with fire, this is lying by omission. Besides people are dying from floods even in this day and age.

In some other verses we see Yahweh manipulating people to make them lie i.e;

2nd Thessalonians 2:11 For this reasons God sends them a powerful delusion so that the will believe the lie.

Ezekiel 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet.

1st Kings 22:23 So now the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours.

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...
