Samuel 12- end

This verses remember me to the Lord of The Rings or 300. God, looks like a Hero, seeking for blood and revenge in this segments. I dont know what stories did the first christians read, because apparently, their God and our God isnt the same. God is cruel and vicious and according to Samuel and he looks for war. The God we see right now is passionate and kind and sees other on top of him in the list of priorities.

God in the crussades was also cruel. According to religion back then, "The end justifies the means" and I think that is not moral. Another comparision from God according to Samuel and modern life is that God would be a Mobster. He'd be the ruler of them all and all would have to run respect for him. He told his Capos what to do and they got the job done. God, the Godfather. It sounds offensive but those arent my intentions, its just the strongest comparison between God according to Samuel and someone else.

Watch out for thinking in terms of "back then" How we are now creates how we think of ourseveles in other times. It's important to confront these texts today.
