You would have to ask Him, but I would imagine He probably isn't jumping for joy about it.

God should be used to it, as the purported Almighty discriminates against humankind all the time.

No, (the idea of) God necessarily discriminates against mankind since we are denied equality, due to the conditions of our humanity. God is always superior. In this it is not us who sets the supposed rules.

In this it is not us who sets the supposed rules. So God is discriminatory because he's better than us? Ok. How does that apply to this article though since that doesn't explain how men are better than each other? Spoiler Alert: It doesn't |

One, for instance, for whom mankind is not treated as second class through the notion of original sin, being denied things over something he or she cannot help. It doesn't, it related to how a supposed God would feel about the discrimination on the basis of race - the OP question, remember? |

No, God was clearly biased when it came to Israelites vs. Egyptians, Babylonians, Philistines, etc. Of course he was biased against Israel’s enemies. That isn’t the same thing as segregation and any of those groups could have joined and worshipped him with the Israelites. |

That isn’t the same thing as segregation and any of those groups could have joined and worshipped him with the Israelites. It goes beyond that. "God's chosen people" is a racist concept. The OT God's support of the Israelites' violence to acquire the promised land I think shows that he would have had no problem with apartheid. |

Anyone could worship and find favor with God and especially once Christianity was literally required to preach to everyone. |

Considering that the God of the OT is perfectly fine with all out genocide, including the murder of children, of course he'd have no issues with apartheid.

It’s ok to be upset about that. |

How every you want him to feel.
God is a human creation so you can make him feel how every you like.

How every you want him to feel. God is a human creation so you can make him feel how every you like. Not really. Maybe that's true if you're the author of a particular work of fiction, but in most cases religion is shared cultural intellectual property, with established traditions, no more easily mutated than languages or vocabulary. If I said that Gandalf was indifferent to the concerns of Hobbits, I would be plain wrong. |
