In the second book of Samuel, I noted allot of fear from Saul and everybody. “But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.” It is a book filled with mischievous, fear, and war. As I clearly sated on my last entry I had no idea that the bible was this cruel I thought it was as they taught me nice and peaceful.
In addition, the doubts to God are because they know he is doing the wrong thing in my opinion, warlike God. However, my god is a being looked as the perfect, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions. He is a supernatural being, an idol and an icon. Well you everyday get a different surprise and it looks that today mine is something not expected. I am starting to have doubts about the bible and of God, each book he is a different person, multiple personality God.

War-like God
Samuel 1
Samuel, makes god look like a warrior cold blooded one, his statements sound like if he wanted revenge and blood. It rather reminds me of the Spartans who are also great warriors. It sounds to me that the god I know is completely different from the god I know read. He is cruel, vicious and he looks forward for war. Our god or at least the one I have learned about is more caring and he is “against war”. This is weird for me. I now have a different point of view of what god is. I had never being Christian read the bible until now and I am enjoying it.
It could be that after the humans having so much wars we decided to stop if maybe god said that war is bad. God encouraged people to go to the crusades to kill in his name as Nicholas Machiavelli once said “the end justifies the means” that is what god practically said, what about world war two, killing because god said we needed a pure raze. Maybe God is our excuse
We use him, and blame him for so many things, even though as the Ten Commandments sate we shall not use his name in vane. Have you heard about the crimes committed now days because God spoke to them please! What world are we living in! Maybe god is different for all us and we can have different perceptions.
