Biblical proof that god does not exist, or at least, not as described in the Bible. [View all]

It just occurred to me as I overheard someone talking about some Bible passage that there are numerous places in the Bible where god "changes his mind", or "relents" regarding some act he was about to commit*. Since the story is that god is always perfect, and can make no errors, then the fact that god "changed his mind" about something inescapably implies that either 1) god was wrong at first and changed his mind to make it right, or 2) god was right at first and changing his mind made him wrong. Either way, there was time, either before or after, that god was wrong. It follows that god, as defined in the Bible cannot be always right.

*[font size=1] e.g. Exodus 32:14 Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.[/font]
