Christians: "I'm fighting for my religious freedom."

EA Miller |
The Christian god was genuinely “mad” at the human race for not behaving, flooded the planet, and in turn murdered most life on Earth. “Mad” implies surprise. How is it possible that an omnipresent being (existing in the past, present, and future) is ever surprised about anything? Yet this is a reoccurring theme that occurs throughout their holy fairytale book.
