In real life lately, I have had a lot of good questions from non-Christians (Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc) about being Christian and our beliefs. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them here. I am open to respectful discussions on this matter here or in PM. I am a Christian, but I have soul searched on this topic a lot over the years..
You are immoral for defending ripping fetuses out of a woman's womb and declaring that it's because the fetus was wicked. You are immoral for defending children being torn limb from limb and claiming that what god did was good. You are immoral for defending the r_pe and slavery of virgins captured by the Israelites.
Your god is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
You are no better for defending those actions as righteous and you have absolutely no moral standing to talk to anyone about what is right or good, ever. This is the most pathetic and pitiful display of idiocy I have ever seen. Sit in your f_cking house and reconsider everything in your entire life that has led you to believe these actions are morally good.
idk if god is real but i'd like to consider an ideal god is if the god existed they would show us in an unambiguous way. he/she would not set up rules for us to follow in order to go somewhere like a paradise because making rules based on what offends or pleases god makes no sense to me. this is a rly important aspect of any god i would consider ideal

God knows what people will do. That cute baby could turn into hitler. Should God kill the baby when he is a baby or after he murders millions of people? Either way you say God is horrible. God knew what these societies would do, and he stopped it from happening. They were warned to be better people, but they did not listen to him and were wiped. Every generation became worse than the last and they were punished eventually for not following God. God is very clear that if you do not follow him you will be punished. If you follow him, you instead see his love and mercy more than you can ever imagine.
how can some border line r*tarded, bible belt dwelling, barely literate, cat roleplaying f*ckwit ever have the audacity to say that entire populations deserve to be wiped out while simultaneously spending her time reporting people on an online mafia site
There are very bad laws and people in that state. I do agree! Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses are both Christian sects that refuse medical care. My grandfather was raised in like some group like this, and he lost both his parents to cancer before he was 18 and probably partially due to this. This is not a main stream Christian sect though. I mean one of the first Christian evangelicals, Luke, was a physician!
no dude there is this mom who literally chose prayer over medical treatment and her son has life-threatening heart condition. idahos law allows that. r*tarded state lol
what is the difference between God destroying a civilization via natural mechanisms like a storm vs by a sword? God can use whichever mechanism that he thinks is best. These cities were very evil, and so he needed to wipe them out unfortunately. If they had not done it by sword, it would be by something else like a fire...
God HATES sin, but he does love people and tries to spare them. A similar example was when Abraham was pleading with God to not destroy Sodom. God really wanted to destroy the whole city, but he promised to not destroy it for 50 and then down to 10 righteous people (Genesis 18:20-32). Another example is Genesis 15:16: "In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” Here God spared killing the amorites for 4 generations because their sin had not gotten bad enough to destroy them then, but when it got bad enough he destroyed them.
While I do agree that killing a bunch of people is really bad, wicked societies do always fill the wrath of God's hand because of their sin.
My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped her sooner If the heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick" You heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me "worship in the bedroom" The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life

All passages should be read in context. There are some anti-women type passages like this in the Bible but they are not as bad if you read them in context. Paul had to deal with many different cultures. He pressed that being a Christian relied on people only believe in God's gift. Like with circumcision, he was basically saying that people should follow the good custom of that area so that people at church would focus more on the gospel than other things. Women at that time covered their heads and were more submissive, so this was required of them in the church to not seem too radical to the church and not distract people in the church.
