The Immorality of God - The Canaanites

[Whateverist]

The shoe may be on the other foot.  It is no concern of mine that the god of bible does what I would call immoral if men did it.  It causes me no conflict because I'm willing to call that spade a spade.  I think it is you that is made uncomfortable by all this, not atheists.  But hey, if it helps you to project one side of your internal debate out there onto atheists in order to work through your issues, I'm glad we can help.

This is a weak argument, and I see it all the time in this forum. "Oh, it's you believers who are trying to convince yourselves." No, Whatever, it really isn't. Believers believe. It's non-believers such as yourself who cling to the notion that God is immoral who must try to explain away rational explanations of God's actions.

IOW, atheists understandably ask hard questions. Believers reply with reasonable answers. Now, the ball is back in your court to deal with the implications of those answers. And simply repeating the questions is not the response of an intelligent man.

I wasn't trying to make an argument. I'm just pointing out that I and plenty of other atheists do not care about the supposed immorality of God. We understand that He is a character in a book of fables and as such he can be menacing, good or evil in turns, whatever. There simply isn't any problem for me since I don't believe and I don't care. That isn't an argument, it's simply a fact.

Promising to hear you say so.  I quite agree.  But thank you, no thank you.  I'm not having any more gods.

Oh, you're lack of belief might be rational, but that doesn't mean it's reasonable.

I never said it was rational. You may as well tell me it isn't reasonable of me not to share your interest in stamp collecting. Reasonable or not, I don't and I don't care whether you think that's reasonable.
