The New York Times decided to publish a guest essay heavily criticizing God on Good Friday and the start of Passover.
Shalom Auslander composed a piece insisting that this Passover, we should stop paying attention to God:
"In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else: God," he began, before claiming God is "hateful," full of "brutality," and, if mortal, "would be dragged to the Hague."
Auslander criticized God whose "wrath" and "plagues" harnessed against the Egyptians during the original Passover story from the Book of Exodus, remind him of what the Russians are doing to the Ukrainians right now.

According to the author, Israel’s ancient enemies were troubling, "But just as troubling — even more so today in light of the brutal slaughter taking place in Ukraine — were the plagues themselves."
"Egyptians young and old, innocent and guilty, suffered locusts and frogs, hail and darkness, beasts running wild and water becoming blood," Auslander lamented.
"Surely, I wondered, there were some Egyptians who didn’t whip Jews, who didn’t have anything against Jews at all?" he asked.
The author opined, "God, it seems, paints with a wide brush. He paints with a roller. In Egypt, said our rabbi, he even killed first-born cattle. He killed cows."

Nuff said!
Yeah, right.
But of course. God just isn’t up on the latest, on how we have to fight global warming, and be liberal on all this LGBT business, including bodily surgeries on minors. God just doesn’t get it. He’s not with it.
He makes some pretty good points. All things Satan would say to convince the unsaved why they should stay that way.
Hope he’s wearing
Asbestos BVD’s !

What an ignoramus.

It’s similar to a ignoranus, which is an a$$hole you ignore, like this guy.

It’s like when Moses came down and they had all gone to shit while he was gone to long up the hill

Why after given so much bounty
One really fells sorry for an asshat like this.
I looked him up
Raised Haredi
A rejectionist with a chip on his shoulder
As an old southern Baptist we were taking more obedience to God than Holy Spirt dwells within ....touchy feely so popular today....and yes there is a place for that intimate relationship to God in your minds voice
But it was drilled into us never ever ever deny God
That was the rubicon
The big no no
Even today no such thought would ever pass my synapse
When I get mad or frustrated or cut myself or drop something on my toe
Even if I just thought it or uttered GD
I always say I’m sorry out loud
That is part of the same theme
Don’t deny your maker or condemn or make sport of or in any way diminish
That is old southern Baptist creed from my era
This orthodox Jewish kid apparently rejects any such restrictions in his religion if it exists
I don’t know
Not a chance I’d take
I looked him up

His parents were Hasidim.

From the father of lies to the newspaper of lies.
How many people who have written for the NY Times think they are smarter than God?
That was my first thought. Peace Foreigner?
It’s great to see that this time the NYT has managed to combine their attacks on Christianity and Judaism into one handy article. Saves them a bit of space.
it’s a weeder question on the application
Are you smarter than God? Yes / No (circle one)
This is how mediocre talents grab attention when their ‘genius’ isn’t impressing anyone.
