When it comes to sins of omission then any cosmic god is the most guilty of all

When it comes to sins of omission then any cosmic god is the most guilty of all. In fact with such an almighty guilt, it wouldn't surprise me if such a god had died from it.
The Bible records very little apology from the god it claims to represent.
One memorable example Genesis 6v6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.
What comes after that ? Not, " sorry folks I'll try to fix it, I'll show you how to make lots of fun stuff like computers and yachts, windsurfers, kite surfers, aeroplanes, motorbikes, games etc and keep intervening to provide plentiful food & clothes and really heal all your injuries and prevent illness & crime. Yes I'll make life on Earth a whole bundle of fun then you'll feel warmly toward me. "
Instead it is a brutal, " I know, I'll wipe them all out, and it won't even be a surgical strike but I'll wipe out all the mammals and birds too "
So looks like that god character has a conscience deficiency.
Also a tendency to gross exaggeration; Genesis 6v5, " The lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY EVIL ALL THE TIME."
How about that life was a struggle for survival back then. People found themselves in an impossible equation.
Also contrast with the modern idea that thoughts originate in the brain rather than the ancient Egyptian idea of thoughts coming from the heart.
Parody on, " If you're happy and you know it clap your hands " ( did this song originate in church ?)

If you think the the Bible is mostly fiction clap your hands
If you're happier with the idea that there is no hell clap your hands
If you think the Bible is mostly fiction, that for some is an unhealthy addiction
If you think the Bible is mostly pish wash your hands of it
[ what is really meant in church context ]
If you don't want to go to hell clap your hands
If you don't want to go to hell nod your head
Unless you say you're happy with orthodoxy then you will go to hell
So be happy with the story or be damned
[ atheist version ]
If you're worried about the Bible clap your hands
If you're in a panic about bible threats nod your head
If you don't want to worry about that, then read WIBA
If you want to be happy then read reasons to think it is mostly fiction
