God and evil

You know, ha, this Bible, really interesting to read. Got so many stories - miracles, violence, murder, everything also got. But I tell you, God I don't understand. Really something else one.

Firstly, you got Adam and Eve, right? God tell them, "Don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil". I mean, if you don't want me to eat something, don't put it in the garden-lah. Crazy, right? Then send the snake to come and tempt us somemore. It's like asking a child not to jump from the cliff and then take him there to see how beautiful it is, and then leave him alone there. He going to jump or not? Surely jump. I mean, common sense what. You don't want me to do something, put it somewhere else-lah. Don't put in my face. Like, I am sure in heaven God got sit on beautiful golden throne. Of course cannot touch one, right? But in heaven, right? I am on earth. How to touch? Cannot, correct? So simple.

Or Job. Don't know why, God lets the Devil test Job. Just to bet. Hey, gambling bad, ok? First take away all his property and then kill all his children. And this is only the first test, ok. And then, not enough, put him in leprosy also. Wah, chia lat. Still not enough, send his wife and friends to test him somemore. OK, finally Job passes the test and got back more than he lost. But-hey, children already dead, ok? You think so easy to replace one child with another, meh? This God, like got no feelings one.

Got even worse things. Maybe not worse but pretty terrible also. Drown everyone in the Great Flood (except for Noah and his family and all the animals two by two). Then turn Lot's wife into a pillar of salt. Wah liao, look also cannot. Aiyah, city burning to hell and you cannot even turn around to look. Who can resist, I tell you? And then, ask Saul to kill all the children and women. Not only that even the cows and sheep, camels and donkeys, ok? And then, in Egypt, first God make the Pharoah hard hearted and then send ten plagues upon Egypt. Ten, ok? Plagues, ok? Not some small thing like common cold. Oi, Pharoah the one hard hearted, not Egyptian citizens. Why must plague everyone, I ask you?

But people are people, right? Where got perfect one? Sin all the time. So then finally, send his own son, HIS OWN SON some more, to come down and save us. So guess what happened. He get betrayed, beaten up, mocked, stabbed and hung on the cross. Crucified, ok? Nails on the hands and feet. Crown of thorns. Wah, tragic. This Jesus, when he is here, don't even have roof over his head. Not even recognised by the people he came to save. So, he come here, suffer and die. For what? To forgive our sins. Make me feel so guilty, right? My sins, punish me-lah. Why punish your own son?

Very strange, right? Adam commit sin, punish everyone. Jesus die, forgive everyone. Why not punish Adam for his sins, punish me for mine. Jesus, not guilty, no need to punish-lor. Where got meaning.

I tell you, ha, this God really something else. Sibeh tahan. So evil, right?
