> The bible's answer is that God is giving people time to repent. See, we are part of the evil that needs fixed.

The evil that he, according to that same bronze-age goat-herders' tale, made. Any reasonable reading of the whole story says -- nay, loudly screams -- that he's the ultimate asshole.

The one redeeming character in the fable? The Prometheus who gave Man wisdom, the ability to think for himself. He must have been some competing goat-herder tribe's god; a tribe who lost, and the winners wrote the history, painting him as the bad guy.
