God is Flawed...

Many people ask, "Why did God put a tree there that he didn't want Adam or Eve to eat from?" That is a valid question, mind, and as I read the bible, I get this odd feeling that maybe God isn't as flawless as we make him out to be. It seems to me that throughout the bible, God really doesn't have some, "master plan" for us all, rather, I believe that he's just making it up as we go along. You see, I do not view God as some omniscient, cosmic overseer. Rather, I view him as a tinkerer or an inventor. I believe that we as "man", and the very world we live in is incomplete, a mere "blueprint" or a "schematic", if you will. I believe that as the years go by, God builds upon his grand designs or "inventions" little by little until eventually, we'll be perfect.

It's like how the Wright Brothers ran hundreds of flying tests on their flying machine(s) until they FINALLY found a design that enabled them flight. Weird analogy, but I hope you see where I'm coming from or where I'm getting at.

I know, I know, it's a weird view, but it's just how I see him. It doesn't help that I am very poor at articulating my thoughts and beliefs and putting them on paper so they'd make sense to anyone but me.

P.S.--- I commented on Jeremy Crew's post.
