The Flood of Absurdities Continues

Our glorious Pastor Dan just can't help himself from seeing biblical implications in floods of biblical proportions in Queensland. In his post Floods in Australia- Is it God, the devil, or a natural disaster? By Pr Daniel he comes to a ludicrous apology of why a loving father (the god) is not responsible for disasters occurring to recalcitrant children who do not want honour and obey the instructions of their loving father (who just happens to drown the whole world).

Hold on to your hats for this little non sequitur.

“If my daughter or son tell me that they are leaving home because they don’t like all the rules and regulations, but I tell them that the rules and regulations are because we love them and want to protect them from getting into trouble. But if they still choose to go and I hear that they got into some trouble, would it be fair for them to blame me??”

Wow Pastor Dan to imagine that the less than omnipotent human father actually makes trouble for his recalcitrant children for which he's not responsible. Pity the non human animals who also suffered because some 2 legged creature didn't care to get down on his knees to kiss deistic arse.

The "devil will definitely destroy us as the Word of God also says in John 10:10" he goes on to say. This is pure anthropocentrism, egotism and narcissism on behalf of the good pastor and his oh so very important flock. The good pastor then tells us the story of Job when God had a little bet with him. The omniscient deity should really choose his poker mates with more care I think. The story of Job is well known of course but our illustrious pastor misses the point of the story of Job as he misses almost all of the bible. In Job, the man Job asks some of the best questions ever asked and God comes up with some of the dumbest answers of all times. In summary the reason why Job suffered so was because God can produce this and produce that and do this and do that which we are to believe cancels out any and all moral questions.

The post by Pastor Dan where he dumps everything into the lap of the all time bad guy Satan Danny forgets nicely and conveniently that the bible can be used to

1. prove that Satan is a son of God and
2. that Satan and God and the same entity.
   

It's just as well for Dan the pastor that most really committed Christian do not care to think really hard or even to read the bible. Wow in taking out a contract for after-life insurance you would that consumers would read the fine print. You wouldn't trust the word of a used car salesman, why would you trust the word of a self appointed pastor of a god? Let's face it some of them have been pretty scary.

Satan is called a son of God in Job 1:6 up front. In 2 Samuel 24:1 God orders Daid to do a census of Israel. This for the purpose of punishing David. What a twisted tyrant is this god. In 1 Chronicles 21:1 Satan makes David take a census. There is one, way and only one way, for neither to contradict each other. This isn't very hard or complex logic but is beyond that which most followers of Pastor Dan would bother. That is if Satan and God are the same entity. That of course contradicts Job 1:6 where Satan is a son of God. God must be his own son who impregnated his own mother to produce the only begotten son (except for those mentioned in Genesis 6 and of course in Job.

Maybe God can only blame his MPD self after all. Or maybe the whole thing is just a croc. Shock! Horror!
