Is God evil?

I am not a religious person, and I´m not believing in any kind of god, but this video is pretty interesting.

It claims, that God (christianity) isn´t good but evil. The arguments used are really good and it´s interesting so see a different view on God, rather than good.

The God in the New and Old Testament was created by man. So no, God is not the evil one, the men who created him are.

The New Testament was created during the reign of the Pagan Emperor Constantine. His ambition was to conquer all of Europe and he figured out the best way to do this was through religion. He instructed his Bishops at the council of Nicaea to complete the scriptures according to his instructions, and to destroy all the scriptures that were not consistent with his agenda. He then made his new Christianity a compulsory state religion and slaughtered all who did not accept it. He called the non believers heretics and blasphemers and they were culled out of the population for more than a thousand years.

The religious bible believers today are descendants of the ignorant and gullible who did not question the authority of the church.

I agree, but it´s interesting to see how people come up with theoriey about God even if they probably don´t believe in God or any other religion.

Christianity is supposed to be a peaceful religion when one follows the teachings of Jesus. However, dogma has taken over and we have seen the results of that. The Old Testament and the Quran are quite violent when they are read. What gets lost is the parts that are about peace and loving each other.

I am a Pagan now, but was raised Catholic. One of my problems with it was the dogma and not being able to ask questions without getting into trouble. In my life journey, I have gone from Catholic to atheist to Pagan. It is a learning experience and I am still open to ideas out there.

Remember, spirituality is not dogma which is man made.
