how is their work misinterpreted?!!? THIS is your counter argument for my explanation of why the Bible's God exists? please elabourate instead of one sentence so i dont have to keep on replying...you yourself said:
The "evidence" (prophecies) you showed me are not valid because they are vulnerable to misinterpretation, and therefore any truth that there may be, is smeared by the hand of the interpreter. I don't want to go into this because this is away from psychology and will be explained when we move Epistemology and Philology.

it seems like you want to start nothing....and that video you showed me is for plain humor and doesnt serve as an argument for anything
Yes it was for humor, but it makes obvious the errors of god's psychology, by having human emotions. Let's say perhaps the bible's god does somehow have human emotions. We were created in his image right? So it would make sense for us to have his weaknesses (emotions). Now if we were made in his image, then everyday you can see the error in his ways through the error in human ways. This is now contradictory because if god in fact has emotion, then he will make the same catastrophic mistakes that humans do, therefore contradicting his perfection. He is supposed to be perfect, right? Yet we were made in his image? Why aren’t we perfect and why has he created imperfection? If he is perfect, he should only be able to create perfection, right? But let's say he is sooo perfect that he can transcend to create imperfection. Why would anyone want to create imperfection?
This drives the question further. Why create anything at all? Why create so much universe for only one small colony of life? Why create life that must butcher and slaughter other forms of life just for a means to survive. I mean think about it, it's quite demented. Creatures having to rip each others guts out, tear the flesh of each others throats wide open and spill the blood through their teeth, chewing and crunching and pulling apart each other just to survive, all in pain. Why must creature exist in such agony? What the fuck was your god thinking???? Surely there is a better way? One could almost think this world was designed by the devil himself. So if your god exists, he must be an evil one. There's is infinite ways all of this could have been done better. Explain that shit to me. You have to imagine if you were going to create a universe. Would you want this shit happening to your creations? If you do, well, there is something terribly wrong there.
The mere fact that he created imperfection makes him imperfect. The fact that he destroys and kills makes him imperfect, because a "perfect" thinking mind would never do that, it would find another way. The great flood destroyed the worlds people because they were "evil" by god's standards. How could they all be evil? If they were all evil, wouldn't they have in one way or another wiped themselves out? Now let's change it, let's say they weren't actually evil, perhaps they simply didn't worship god. Somehow that is justification for murdering them, and all the innocent creature of the earth? Imagine if that shit happened today. These actions by God really blurs the value of life.
Furthermore, why give man the ability to do evil? Because if God is perfect and if evil cannot exist within perfect, then why would he create it or allow it to exist?
Now from another angle: if God wanted us to believe in him, why didn't he make it absolutely clear so that humans would never question. He is all-knowing right? So he should have known that humans would someday question him. Why not clearly state in the bible all the answers that we seek? It wouldn't hurt anything. It would actually make alot more people believe (which is his overall goal). There would be alot more scientists believing in religion, I can guarantee.
And again like in one of the previous videos, if the people who don't know about the bible's god are supposed to be saved later in heaven, then why do we talk about god at all? If none of us knew about him, then wouldn't we all go to heaven to be saved later? Also, won't the family and friends that end up in hell prevent a person from being happy in heaven? But heaven is the ultimate bliss? How can these two aspect coexist?
Moreover, isn't it quite convenient that a heaven and a hell exists. If you were to ask anyone what they want most (that isn't material) they would say, happiness, love, no stress, = bliss essentially, an ideal paradisiac. The human mind naturally seeks this utopia. Wow what'd'ya'know, heaven happens to be that. And what does a human being fear most, hatred, pain, torture, displeasure. And wow, what'd'ya'know hell happens to be that. How convenient. What the mind wants, the mind thinks it will get, if it is stupid enough to believe its own fantasies. These concepts of utopia and dystopia are classic ideas of primitive men who lived in the middle, who seek the best and dread the worst. Clear figments in the human psyche.
And now we get the classic question, where did god come from? Well why not just remove him and simplify the question to where did the universe come from?
And sure a religious person may say that he has done all of this to "test our faith." Why? Why do we exist to be tested?
There are too many questions like this for the bible's god to make sense.
God is not responsible for all of this, human imagination is. This is all the result of imperfect nature, not a perfect God. Because if he was perfect the "design" would be much greater. The bible's god's design is a very bad one, and is a point in itself for questioning the esistance of god. We have human beings who could imagine a better "design" than what the bible's God has.
I can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on more if you want me to. There are literally hundreds of points like this, little logical and obscure points that conclude alot.
