Taming Slaves

Christian slave owners forced Christianity on their slaves because it made them tame. The disgusting thing is the slaves did not reject this crap at the first chance. They are like Stockholm victims.

Yahweh, Local God

Yahweh claimed to be god of the entire universe, yet he behaved like a local tribal god. He told the Israelites that they were the chosen people. If he were truly god of the universe, Yahweh should have appeared to all the peoples of earth. He would not have a favourite. He would not have commanded the Israelites to butcher all the non-Israelites. The Israelites created Yahweh by borrowing the polytheistic Canaanite war god. There was no sign of him before that. It makes no sense a universal god would rely or one tiny uneducated tribe to spread the world to the planet.
