God's Weaknesses

Projects and Failures

Failures in Creation

The God of the Bible fails regularly.

Every time He tries to do something, He fails or makes a mistake:

• Creation of a woman: In the beginning (Genesis 1 and 2), God created many things, ending with the first human being named Adam. Then God found that Adam had too many ribs and he was missing some help, which means he was created with defective parts (too many ribs, breast, etc) and he was incomplete ) – Genesis 2:18
• Humans failures to worship: God created humans to worship Him, but He gave them brains to think. Apparently they were not supposed to think. The Bible asked Christians to always trust the Lord and not trust their own intelligence or understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6) because apart from God, humans cannot do anything (John 15:5)
• At one time, God realized that He had made mistakes in the way He created humans beings – Genesis 6:6

Every time the God of the Bible makes a mistake, He blames every one else but Himself:

• Creation of a woman: After creating a woman and giving her brains so she started using it to process the information she received, God blamed her for the brains she had. As a result, the Bible claims that it was the woman who was deceived (by the serpent) (I Timothy 2:14)
• Humans failures to worship: God created humans and gave them brains to think. When He found out that people, named Eve, thought, He blamed them for using their brains and kicked them out of His presence. When people continued failing to worship Him, He kept blaming and killing them. At one time, He blamed everybody and decided to wipe out the whole planet (minus 8 people) to started over

Fixing Failures in Creation

When the God of the Bible realizes that He has made a mistake, He tries to fix it or to find an alternative:

• Creation: After creating a man with an extra-rib, God decided to remove it. To recycle the rib, He decided to derive another human, namely a woman, from it. The problem is that this new human had a developed brain and could process information in sociology, psychology, and philosophy which, for God, was a bad idea. Instead of teaching them reasoning and information processing, the best fix God could find was to kick them out of the Garden of Eden. The alternative was for those humans to live somewhere else where they would never see God
• Humans failures to worship: Every time God found out that people were not worshipping Him, which was based on their exercising their God-given freedom of religion (which was based on using the brains God gave them to think), the fix was to strike people to death (kill them) – Exodus 32:19-30
• Too much thinking: When God found out that people were using their God-given intelligence to process information and question any teaching they received, and continued failing to worship Him, the fix was to kill them: Acts 12:23. At one time, When God realized that He made some mistakes when creating humans (Genesis 6:6), He was greatly upset . The fix was to wipe out the whole planet and started over: Genesis 6:7

Every time the God of the Bible tries to fix a mistake of His, He makes things worse:

• If He kicked Eve and Adam out of the Garden of Eden because they were questioning His authority (at that time, Adam and Eve represented 100% of the population of the Earth), things became worse because the generations that followed thereafter, up to our generation, got in the habit of questioning any information they received. As a result, if our planet contains 7B people and there are 2B Christians, then there are more people who don't worship the God of the Bible than there are people who worship the God of the Bible
• If the God of the Bible destroyed humans because He realized His mistakes from creating them, the children who came after the flood were not a solution (so the flood was not a realistic solution)

When He gets frustrated at His inability to fix His own mistakes, He goes on a killing spree. Sometimes, to strike His own ego (to show how powerful He is), He destroys the whole planet.

Spreading the Message

The God of the Bible can't write.

To convey the message of the Lord, human beings took it upon themselves to write down some messages, letters, and books (Proverbs 1:1, John 21:24, Romans 16:22). Then they attributed them to God.

They claimed to have received messages or inspiration from the God of the Bible. They were never able to prove it. Our generation cannot verify the authenticity of those messages or of that inspiration.

We have to rely on faith without proof to trust that everything, including recommendations for slave-owning, sexism, genocides, and racism, are messages from, or inspired by, the Lord.

God's Laziness

The God of the Bible is lazy.

The book of Genesis claims that God created the world and everything in it in 6 days (Genesis 1:5 and Genesis 1:31).

Then God got tired.

He decided to rest for one day (Genesis 2:2-3). But He didn't come back to work the following week. In fact, He has not created anything ever since that first week (although Genesis 2 has many differences with Genesis 1, Genesis 2 is not a new work-week, that is, Genesis 2 is not continuation of the narrative creation of Genesis 1; it appears like a different author trying to give his version of the creation; If Generis 2 were claiming to be a continuation of the narrative creation of Genesis 1, we would have a serious problem).

His one-day vacation became an eternal vacation.

Financing the Message

The God of the Bible is poor He cannot provide for His children (millions of christians pray every day with no result).

He cannot create businesses to hire people who cry to Him every day for employment He cannot provide money to build churches. So Christians have to scramble around to build their own churches, only to dedicate those churches to God. Pastors and priests have to distribute big roles (such as deakons, elders, senior advisors, etc) to rich members (government ministers, senators, business owners, etc) so that those people in return will give big contributions to the pastor and the priests who would then build churches and lavish their families with wealth from, but they would attribute that wealth to the goodness of the Lord.
