That... really doesn't give me even a remotely good image of God, unfortunately. I've already got a warped impression of God ever since I accidentally saw the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark as a small boy, those sources already made my views on God worse, even when I tried to reconcile Christianity with that and ignored those sources, and as you can pretty much guess from those videos, they were depicted in a very negative, almost evil light. The fact that at least one sermon from Christianity, Sinners at the Hands of an Angry God, actually ultimately depicted God in a similar maniacal light doesn't help matters either.

::::::Some theologians seem to have all the answers (whether right or not) but honstly, if I think it though too far, all I get is a headache. (Put simply, how can a perfect God create the devil and permit sin?) Many of the answers are out there, but at some point, it's my opinion that you need to trust in God, regardless of all that. We know He is good, faithful, loving, and merciful, and in a way, that's enough. In certain cases, I just opt to trust Him, and figure that some day, I will probably be able to ask Him. I will say that I think the idea of Him being like the "Architect" or other such evil geniuses is unfair to Him. His purposes may be beyond us, but if we are to be rules or in any position of authority in heaven, perhaps this all was needed to test us and prove that we are willing to let Him be the "boss" (Lord), and to trust in and obey Him. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 21:44, 21 September 2016 (EDT)
