Why does God kill so many humans?
Question:
Why does God kill so many humans? And why does this website try and make excuses for killing those humans? Surely such an amazing supernatural Creator could come up with a better plan than that. When I read about your God I find it hilarious. I really can believe the crazy, stupid, and ridiculous things He says and does. My five-year-old son could think of a better way to run the earth? It's beyond my comprehension how anyone could even understand what nonsense the Old Testament and Bible talk about.
If it were true, I would never want to have anything to do with such a maniac killer.
Answer:
"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence" (I Corinthians 1:26-29).
See:
- Why did God have some people killed if murder is wrong?
- Why did God kill many people in the Old Testament?
- How can God command us not to murder when God murdered ...
The problem is that you are assuming that those who died were innocent. Also, you assume that God has no right to administer justice or have authority over men. All those assumptions are false.
That you do not wish to understand what the Bible says does not indicate that the Bible is senseless; instead, it is a reflection of you. "A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands." (Proverbs 15:14). Notice that while you mock, you presented no evidence to prove your point.
"Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?" (Isaiah 29:16).
