There is no mystery of evil, only a mystery of thick-headed obstinate Christians

I respond to a Christian who articulates the problem of "evil".  See here.

The only problem with evil is the Christians who falsely continue to view God as some sort of good-willed grandfather type figure. Wrong. Read Ezekiel 37-38. God views human beings like little boys view toy soldiers. In fact, the bible god is more evil than the Canaanites. I’ve proven Frank Turk was wrong in stating the Canaanites “watched their babies sizzle to death”, as there is no historical evidence, whatsoever, that Canaanites used fire as the means to kill kids. The historical sources say the child’s throat was cut before they were placed on the altar. None of the sources makes an equal specification that the kids were still alive when placed in the fire, and the Hebrew’s own historical example of Abraham trying to kill his son before lighting the fire (Genesis 22:19) would provide a reasonable basis to confirm the throat-cutting practice. 

Cremation of a corpse is not the same thing as immolation. See my scholarly post at https://turchisrong.blogspot.com/2017/10/frank-tureks-dishonesty-concerning.html 

So because there is no evidence the Canaanites used fire to kill children, while the bible makes clear that God wants the preteen girl to be burned to death merely for a single act of premarital fornication (Leviticus 21:9), Turek must admit the ironic fact that his attempt to make the Canaanites appear to modern Americans as more “deserving” of genocide actually backfires. 

Then again, being a bible-believer makes you immune to certain morals. If God told you stab your child to death and burn his body, well….you DO admit you have the faith of Abraham (Genesis 22:10/Hebrews 11:19), correct.
