I can't remember when or where I first heard that term, "The Creator God of the Bible", with the appropriate capitalizations. But it does flow off the lips nicely. Unfortunately it ignores "The Destroyer God of the Bible". Remember Noah's Flood (I am still not satisfied with any responses to "Why did the Creator God do that to all the infants? If the Creator God is all-knowing how did this happen?). Or the varied and sundry bits of genocide the Creator God allowed/demanded of the Israelites.
Nah, lets just focus on the good parts of the Holy Book, not the bad parts. The happy parts, we know are factual, the nasty parts, probably the metaphor and allegory sections. Well, except for that Big Flood.
Seriously, how can Christian fundamentalists live with themselves other than the extreme cognitive dissonance required to believe as they do?
Have you ever noticed that "fundamentalists" do this until they want to express their dislike for something like "homosexuality"?
Then of course they go and find the bad parts of the Bible. Of course they do not admit these are bad parts, instead they change it to "justice".
So if something bad happens and they do not like it, then "God works in mysterious ways". But if something bad happens and they like it then it is "justice".
