28. God / A. Divine Nature / 4. Divine Contradictions

7602	In the Bible God changes his mind (repenting of creating humanity, in the Flood) [Armstrong,K]
	Full Idea: In the Bible God changes his mind, as when he repents of having made man and decides to destroy the human race in the Flood.
	From: Karen Armstrong (A History of God [1993], Ch.1)
	A reaction: It becomes apparent that the most startling feature of Christian fundamentalism is its uncritical reading of the Bible, in which passages are wilfully lifted from context, and inconvenient inconsistencies are ruthlessly ignored.
