i can't help but notice how closely this sounds to our government of today and how it uses fear to control people, but like i've said before i believe the bible was made up by man to put fear into other men, possibly for slavery, possibly for major outbreaks of crime, why exactly? i don't know. i do know this, your god is supposed to be perfect, yet there are so many flaws and contradictions throughout the bible. seems easier to believe that man made this book up (who are known for having flaws, no one human is perfect, never was never will be) than to believe your perfect god, incapable of 'screwing up' made it up
