If I go and sitdown on a cool night to enjoy a book I in no way expect the book I read to be perfect. Because the author is not perfect.
When I go to sit and read a book that was written by the most perfect of all perfect beings, I kind of expect a little bit from the book.
Through this book many were slain.
The author "allowed" it to happen.
Why would god "allow" the book to misslead people into killing thousands in "His own name".
Don't you think that god should have made the book more clear as to not misslead people into killing others?
He doesn't have to make it so that we have no other choice.
Just because it is perfectly clear and understandable does not mean that we would have to choose to devote our lives to it in anyway.
How could it? I don't understand why you all are saying that we would have no choice but to follow god then.
We would just as much free will, the only difference is that no one person would be confused by the book to do the opposite of what it was meant for.
If god was good then he would not allow the book to misslead people into killing others in its name.
And if you think Im dumb for thinking that I know god you right.
I don't know god, but I do no that I will never admit the existence of this god to be perfect when he openly allows his word to distort people into the opposite of all good.

But if you read it and choose to ignore it and then kill people based on your decision not to follow the book then is not the author still at fault for leaving that option availible?
It wouldn't be the humans fault, because they chose to kill knowing after reading that it was wrong.
They know it is wrong but they still do it.
God did his part by making sure they "know its wrong", then it is up to them to make the ultimate decision.

What if you read it all then choose to ignore certain parts and thus are lead to kill people, should God be blamed that He didn' force people to always read the whole book everytime they had an idea?
But that is also why I was saying that god is being irresponsible by relying on human language to represent his "perfect" word.
Don't you see? God could have created some alternative to abandon the possibility of missleading people of doing the opposite of what it was meant for.
Maybe he could have given a special emotion to those who believed in him with all their heart, or actually clearly talked to their hearts onto what they should do more often as to not need to "read" any pathetic book written by men.
He's god he could figure something out. lol
much luv.
