He seems to be so outgoing in the Old Testament. Wonder why he’s left us all on read for the past 2500 years…

Anon is quoting Herodotus and I think he was referring to Ishtar. The Ancient Greeks often equated foreign gods with their own.

The issue with the “free will” argument is that God doesn’t seem to care about free will in the Old Testament and is clearly willing to act against evil. He floods the earth because of humans committing great sin, sends bears to maul children for disrespecting of his prophet, sends a famine onto Israel for Baal worship, sends plagues onto Egypt for enslaving the Israelites, etc If God truly gave a rat's ass about free will, then he should be purely non-interventionist and just let things play out naturally. An interventionist God is incompatible with free will.

I think Anon is legitimately insane.
