31 Bible facts about God and Devils crimes on Earth

I do not judge the God of the Jews and the God of the Christians. Here are just a few facts of his as the biblical authors imagined. I must mention that it is no different from other ancient gods like Zeus, Enlil, Amon-Ra, Odin, etc.

And if the universe is a simulation, a video game, and God is this player or developer, that's it, he has the right to do what he wants in this universe because it's just his game.

1. Condemning and punishing people to a horrible, unjust, mortal, and miserable life just because Adam and Eve disobeyed his command and ate the fruit stopped from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and from here all misfortunes departed, driving them away. from Eden. From that moment, the Creator condemned every human being born on this planet to experience weight, grow old, and die.

Historically, hunter-gatherers wanted to eat more than nature gave them and began farming 12,000 years ago. Since then, there have been social inequalities, wars, famine, difficulties in agricultural work, human immunity and life expectancy have decreased, there have been diseases such as obesity, plague, malaria, tooth decay, venereal disease through the development of urban areas. I mean, we wanted to progress, but we have to take on the difficulties and put all this in the hands of God

2. The Great Biblical Flood - 20 million people drowned because they became sinners, including the giants of fallen angels who slept with human women

Historically, only a few thousand people were killed in the floods of Mesopotamia in the 2900s BC. as the Epic of Gilgamesh relates

But 20 million dead seems like a trifle for Mao Zedong and Stalin

3. The burning of Sodom and Gomorrah - several thousand inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were burned alive for debauchery and arrogance, including Lot's wife just because she returned.

History: around 2000 BC, two large prosperous Bronze Age trading cities were wiped off the face of the Earth by an earthquake and underground gas explosions, not by an angry god or a meteor shower.

4. Onan - because he masturbated and did not leave his wife pregnant according to God's command

5. Isaac - commanded Abraham to sacrifice him on the mountain like a lamb only to then tell him that he "put him to the test."

6. The Ten Plagues of Egypt ruined the Egyptian economy and civilization by destroying hail and locust crops, fishing through the red Nile, killing animals with insects and lice, injuring people with bugs, and the three-day darkness of the desert storm. And God hardened Pharaoh's heart to refuse Moses' requests.

History: These catastrophes happened but at a long interval

7. The killing of the firstborn in Egypt by the angel of death because Pharaoh did not want to free the Jews from slavery at the request of Moses, resulting in thousands of deaths.

History: This also often happened in times of famine when fathers offered more food to newborns because they needed the most food and it happens that wheat crops are moistened, moldy, and infested with parasites.

8. The entire Egyptian army drowned in the thousands in the Red Sea after its separation because they were pursuing the Jews freed from slavery

History: this fact is not proven, but battles are known through swamps where the Egyptians got a bit stuck against the Semitic peoples, but which were not recorded, the pharaohs of that time having the habit of making propaganda

9. The sons of Aaron, burned alive because they did not perform the proper ritual.

10. Thousands of Jews were killed after Moses caught them worshiping the golden statue of the goddess Hathor. Although God wrote in the tablets "Thou shalt not kill," He still commanded Moses to kill thousands of sinful Jews.

11. "2 million" hungry Jews, killed by epidemics and burned alive, held stranded in the desert for 40 years

I think what Yahweh did here is comparable to Hitler's Holocaust. The god behaves very badly with his chosen people

12. 50,000 Jews burned alive for touching or seeing the Ark of the Covenant and desecrating it as if it had radiation.

Too bad it wasn't gold, it was wood.

13. Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their families are swallowed up by Pamnat because they assumed they were as holy as Moses.

Maybe he swallowed a shifting sand.

14. 15,000 Jews burned alive and killed by epidemic for following the Korah

15. Thousands of Jews bitten by snakes complained to Moses and could no longer bear their hand and dessert, but were eventually healed by a bronze pole in the shape of a serpent.

16. 24,000 Jews killed by the plague because they had sex with Moabite women and worshiped Baal. But maybe they died of syphilis.

17. Thousands of Amorites killed by hail for declaring war on Israel

24. Jeroboam because he rebelled

25. Ezekiel's wife - just for God to show his point of view

26. So did Job's family, children, and servants, but then others brought him

27. Ananias - died of a heart attack, fell into Peter's arms because he lied

28. Herod - eaten by worms because he killed babies

History: it is not proven such a massacre, but indeed, he killed his sons, but he also built a lot

29. Jonah - swallowed by a "whale". He didn't die, but it's an absurd punishment, it sounds like some stupid beta game.

30. Jesus, His Son Himself - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

He let him be betrayed by Judas, arrested, humiliated, mocked, spat upon, whipped, and crucified.

What kind of parent would do that to his child? Even a god to his son or demigod, there is no such atrocity in any other mythology and that is why the poor crowded to worship him because it is an atypical story about sacrifice for salvation.

Why wouldn't he do it from the start just by snapping his fingers like Thanos, to bring back paradise and salvation?

Why does it test our faith by causing us harm?

31. According to the Revelation of John, God will kill another 3, 387,272,727 people to Armageddon with meteorites, earthquakes, droughts, epidemics, famines, floods, fires, collapse, crises, wars, etc.

And that the souls of all sinners will end up in Hell.

Total:

At least 33 million people killed in 3,000 years!

Nothing compared to Stalin and Mao.

God cannot be judged by the laws or conceptions of men.

In an analogy with politics, God would be an absolute dictator, because he is the sole and eternal possessor of his unlimited powers. Even if it upsets us sometimes, who dares to rise against Him? All we have to do is pray and be content with what we receive.

The devil is not a negative equivalent of God, because he has no divine powers. The devil has only the power to tempt us, including against God, and He tolerates him to put us to the test because the trials strengthen us.

The devil does not exist separately from humans, but only in each of us. If you will, the devil is a genetic mutation at the origin of the appearance of human consciousness and, in particular, of the goal of immortality, which I interpret as immortality in a memetic sense. Resistance to temptation is how the human species can become truly immortal.

It's hard to believe, but once Antarctica was covered with giant forests.

 It's hard to believe, but once Antarctica was covered with giant forests.

To date, one of Francis' most amazing fossil finds has been found in the Transantarctic Mountains, not far from where Scott made his discoveries.

"We were up on the icy peaks when we found a layer of sedimentary rocks, filled with fragile leaves and branches," - she recalls.

These fossils turned out to be remnants of beech bushes. Their age is only three to five million years, and they were the last.

The secrets of the petrified forests of Antarctic plants, which lived on the continent before a deep cold. However, other findings indicate that subtropical forests did exist in Antarctica much earlier in the dinosaur era.

In the middle of Antarctica, even at high altitude, the fossils of extensive forests of tropical conifers and deciduous trees, especially beech, but also other tropical plants were discovered. Interestingly, the development rings of fossilized Antarctic trees have their own characteristic, namely that they do not have slow-growing rings during the winter. Scientists believe that tropical warming in Antarctica has to do with excess atmospheric CO2, but I see things differently:

The amount of carbon dioxide needed to heat Antarctica to such values ​​would have turned the rest of the planet into an irreversible Venusian furnace.

Antarctica has always been found at the south pole because the Antarctic ridge is very close to the edge of the current sea ice, ie somewhere in the southern part of Patagonia, so the opposite edge of Antarctica would have been on the south pole, ie the south pole walked on the edges Antarctica and therefore the ice cap would have been permanent across the continent in any drift situation on the continents.

The only situation that can explain an Antarctic covered by tropical forests is a planetary inclination on the axis close to zero compared to 21-25 degrees normally.

If the inclination on the axis were zero or only a few degrees, then each latitude would have corresponded to a constant climatic regime corresponding to a month of the year:

- the intertropical zone would turn into a hot desert at +60 C / + 70 C;

- the Mediterranean area would be quite arid and hot but habitable in higher areas;

- the temperate zone starting from Bulgaria and close to the poles would correspond to June, then May (for Romania), April (Poland), March (Scandinavia), and in the polar areas it would be slightly warmer than in Scandinavia, because the sun would be in the sky all year round, although like in our morning, and the temperatures would always be positive around +15 C / + 20 C.

So there would be no glaciers except on the northern slopes at altitude, and in Antarctica there would be no tropical climate, but a humid oceanic, without frost, without winter, without snow and without night.

36 civilizations in the Milky Way

MILKY WAY GALAXY COULD BE HOME TO 36 ACTIVE, INTELLIGENT CIVILISATIONS BESIDES HUMANS, STUDY SUGGESTS  firstpost.com

Tom Westby and Christopher Conselice published a study estimating that there were or were 36 civilizations throughout the Milky Way Galaxy (it was not said what the level of technological advancement would be, so it could very well be ancient or medieval).

The distance between them would be 17,000 light-years on average (with current technology it would take us millions of years to travel there, given that up to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, 4 light-years away, would take 6300 years).

Communication with another civilization 17,000 light-years away would take 34,000 years, 17,000 years for our signal to reach that planet, and another 17,000 years for their signal to reach our planet.

It cannot be discussed as on Messenger or as in Star Trek through video broadcasts from light years.

There is a possibility that civilization will disappear until the signal arrives, decay technologically or change completely culturally, or have been destroyed or invaded by another aggressive civilization and not find the same civilization as before.

It is impossible to communicate with other extraterrestrial civilizations through space, unless we find a way to transmit signals through wormholes / portals and reach the planet directly in a matter of seconds.

But for that we would need centuries or even millennia to study the universe, matter and dark energy, and invent a technology to open wormholes through which to transmit information, signals and messages.

Maybe signals from an advanced civilization already crossed the Earth's orbit 17,000 years ago ......... when humans were primitive hunter-gatherers hunting bison, settling in North America, inventing pottery for the first time in China and domesticated the pig.

Maybe 5,000 years ago when people built the pyramids or 800 years ago when Europe was in the Middle Ages, in the age of castles, inquisitions and knights.

Maybe there have never been any signals past the Earth about how vast the galaxy is.
