Batman Vs. God

1. Yahweh is a loving god.

He'll smite your sorry ass lovingly as you gasp for air before you drown.

6. The Yahweh of the OT was a pretty standard middle-eastern god.

He was a war-god, a protector of its people. He even had a wife, Asherah, a goddess of fertility whose symbol was a tree, but she was retconned in 500BC.

2. Ah, c'mon! Who wouldn't worship the guy?

Eve ate one apple and he cursed women for eternity:

God multiplies the pain of women in child bearing.

(Genesis 3:16)--"To the woman He said, 'I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall bring forth children; Yet your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.'"

Why would God increase the pain of childbirth because of Eve's disobedience to Him? Some think it is an unfair penalty to make all women suffer for Eve's sin.

The answer lies in two things. First, we must understand that Eve was the means God commanded to fill the earth with people. Her union with Adam was supposed to produce children for the perfect world that God had created. But, Eve rebelled against God. Since sin brings pain and suffering, it was a natural consequence that she have pain and suffering in the very thing for which she was brought forth because she had rebelled against God.

3. That sermon deserves a classic pissed-off woman song...

And I'm just the off-topic jerk to post it.

"Gonna ride to your funeral, daddy, in a black Cadillac..."

5. Joyce Green?

I can't view videos but I think I know the one.

Pissed off women are a force to be reckoned with. If god had a wife she'd have kicked his ass for abusing his children.

7. She's your virtual neighbor!

Green still lives in Bradford, Arkansas, where she was born. Or at least she was still living there in 2012, the last mention I could find of her on the internets.

She recorded "Black Cadillac" when she was 19 yrs old and never recorded anything else that I could find. Just another one of those strange pop music stories.

Pissed-Off Women Songs: here in Moralityville, some country stations are refusing to play "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town. Stations claim that irate listeners called in to say it was "promoting the homosexual agenda" (Lesbian Division). I don't get that at all - it's about a woman jealous of her ex's new girlfriend. Weird.

4. I was expecting this to be about the "Argument from Batman" to the Problem of Evil.
