sorry but i disagree

i think the biblical god is man made,due to the authors projecting their emotions into scripture like homophobia,male chauvinism,anger,murder,slavery,incest,love and hate.
with all the authors,much of the bible contradicts itself also btw

shadowaster you stated that everything that exists has a creator,then who created god?

if god is omnipotent,perfect and all knowing:
1.it's illogical to believe that he wouldn't create anything.(he would be perfect,complete have no desires,no emotions and have no need to.)
2.perfection can't create imperfection(if something is perfect nothing imperfect can come from it)
3.concerning freewill if god is omnipotent he could have easily created humans with freewill that didn't have the ability to choose evil,but to choose several good options.instead he made us imperfect humans that displease him for making imperfect decisions.
4.god is supposedly omniscient.when he created the universe,he saw the suffering which humans would go through as a result of the sin of those original humans.he heard the screams of the damned,he knew of the supposed eternal suffering.a perfectly compassionate being who creates beings which he knows are doomed to suffer is impossible.
5.god is supposed to be a just god,but he sentences the imperfect humans he created to infinite suffering in hell for finite sins.clearly this limited offense doesnt warrant the punishment.
6.consider all the people that live in remote regions of the world that have never heard of jesus christ.consider all the people that followed the religion that they werent born into that wasnt christianity.it doesnt matter how just,kind and generous they were during their lifetime.if they don't accept the gospel of jesus they are condemmned.no just god would ever judge a man by his beliefs rather than his actions

anyway,thats just my opinion
