Here’s where we have to remember that our Gods are wild and unpredictable. They make promises, and They break Them. They draft covenants, and later They scrap them. There is nothing preventing Yahweh from introducing an entirely different covenant tomorrow, in which He says, “You know how I didn’t tell any of you about Jesus for thousands of years? Well, I’ve got more secrets to reveal. There’s actually a fourth God that I’m about to introduce, and unless you all submit to Him as well, I’ll take your salvation away from you. The Covenant I introduced through Christ is now null and void—I’m changing the rules up again and you all had better keep up.” God gets to do whatever He wants whenever He wants.

Well, that's it. She's just alienated all other xian fundies with this statement. None of them would ever say that god would make the "christ" covenant null and void.
She's so stuck on "god" being a sociopathic unpredictable asshole, even more than Calvinists are, that she doesn't realize that if god did just what she said he could, that it would invalidate his "word".
Besides, isn't there a bible verse that says that god does NOT change?
"God gets to do whatever He wants whenever He wants."
Then so can we . Judges 1:19. Remember that, and who invented the modern-day Iron Chariot in WWI...?:

...thus in Soviet Britain, God worships you . Bark like a bitch, Goddy-boy! >:D

They're so unpredictable it's no different than if they don't exist at all and things are just happening by random chance.

So seriously, why worship this god? I mean, if he can just change the rules at a whim, and even if you follow all his rules to the letter when you die he could still throw you in Hell for the fun of it. So if God can't be held to keep his promises, why worship him?
So god is sort of like the weather, Anna, changing every minute? Atheism, however, is the climate.....
Which begs another question in the tradition of "If God is all-Powerful can he create a Rock he can't lift?" vein.
Why didn't God create a wife and family if the whole things so damn cosmically significant and proper?
Zeus had the baggage of life, including some very human foibles, as did the whole house of Olympus and some half breeds on Earth. There's a good family values God, warts and all.
Anna, I don't even want to think what your idea of Heaven must be like...
As a matter of interest, how do you say your prayers with a ball gag in your mouth?
"God gets to do whatever He wants whenever He wants."
Then why doesn't it? Seriously, if your omnipotent God has no moral issues with playing with its creations like toys, then why doesn't it actively perform magic on a grand scale? Not that I'd want your god to do this, judging by your descriptions of it, but if it is like how you claim it is, then miracles and inexplicable acts of cruelty should be a little more common.
Diehl is getting to be redundant. All her posts are basically the variation of "God is an evil, psychopathic dictator & we are worthless....which is awesome & I love him for it".
This woman has GOT to be a Poe!
So following your logic, if your god is so wild and unpredictable, why bother worshiping it at all if all your "worshiping" will be wrong because it keeps changing its mind? That's a lot of energy expended on doing this and not doing that and following all the rules that change two seconds later as you suggest, when the end result will be the same as if you never worshiped it in the first place. Seems like a waste of time, brains, and a life to me.
(OP)
"There is nothing preventing Yahweh from introducing an entirely different covenant tomorrow..."
So much for all that "objective morality" bullshit, then.
Here's where you have to remember that your gods don't have any evidence in their favor.
"The Covenant I introduced through Christ is now null and voidI’m changing the rules up again and you all had better keep up."
Didn't your god do exactly that when he (supposedly) talked to Muhammad?
I kind of admire her not giving up half way down the rabbit hole, but all Anna's argument eventually boils down to is that Anna can't say shit about what is or isn't good/bad or sinful/holy. Because whatever she thinks, and for whatever reason, doesn't nullify the fact that her god could have spun on a dime over every damn detail.
That whole potential quotation from God sums up exactly how batshit crazy her ideas are better than someone trying to make fun of crazy-ass fundies could ever hope to.
And she sees absolutely no problem with it.
Anna, you are in an abusive relationship with someone who isn't even physically with you and, for all anyone really knows, doesn't even exist. Seriously, get help .

I thought this was written by WotansKrieger or one of the other idiots he associates with. What about "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" do you not get, Anna? It's hellfire for you.

Isn't that kinda what Mormonism is? Where God is continually revealing things to mankind? And only those who keep up with those things God reveals get to go to the best heaven closest to where God lives on the planet Kolob?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
