To be fair, rape, genocide, and punishing women for shit that isn't their fault are all biblical values.
They're really not values... It's history. The old testament is a story of people becoming better over generations, and the ebb and flow of it
1 Samuel 15
The Abrahamic god is pro-genocide, and routinely commands the Israelites to commit genocide.
What is a god? The Bible speaks about many gods, different kinds even. Are the Creator and the god of the Israelites the same?
What are they referring to here? The will of the people, the mandate of heaven, the super organism created by the abstractions of a group of humans - he didn't follow it as king. He was supposed to be executor of the will of the people, and he didn't deliver the "justice" they demanded
I'm not the one saying the sky daddy is whispering in people's ears. That's not how it ever works, does it? It's always people going off to meditate, and coming back with sometimes inconvenient moments of enlightenment
Oh, and let's not forget when the god of the Israelites changes their mind... It happens kind of a lot
