Why does everyone put GOd in a little box, and try to give him human characterisitcs, and try to sum him up with human logic.
Because according to your mythology we've got the same ability to tell the difference between good and bad that God does. He even says so:
quote:
22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever" -- 23 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
If we've got God's own ability to tell the difference between good and evil, that means that we can use that ability to determine if the actions of God are good or evil (or stupid), just as he judges our own actions.
God may judge us but even God admits that we get to judge him, too.
Of course, this is all just silly mythology - it doesn't matter what it says because none of it is true.
