The theological reductionism that the God of the Old
Testament is nothing but a totalitarian specter of tyranny that may be easily
paralleled with the totalitarianisms we know from human history, it is so
dishonest. Surely it is to rip out the heart from the chest of whatever indeed
makes theology theology, and it is a futile and unsophisticated
proposition. To say that the human abstract construct, the concept of God, is
nothing but a system of political despotism because God has been used cynically
and corruptively for tyrannical means throughout the histories, is like to say
that numbers and digits are nothing but a mechanism of deceit since many have used
them to manipulate, cheat and deceive their fellow man.
