Conflicting statements in the bible

Nice try, but you're the one that put forth the positive claim. You must show that without god it is impossible to prove it wrong, otherwise we can all just assume you are wrong.

“Atheists cannot postulate a definition of morality that defines child molestation as morally wrong regardless of time and position.” Is a negative claim my friend; ball is in your court.

I would consider it a small comfort if he was enduring punishment for his crimes, since I would rather that he had not been allowed to carry out such acts in the first place. Leaving us to our own devices, only to reward or punish us after the end, strikes me as unsatisfying.

You do not find satisfaction in eternal glory for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked? I sure do.

When I think of the ones whose time on Earth was cut short quickly and brutally, I wonder if their time here had any value? At the least, those who are granted the gift of a heavenly afterlife may not have gotten any chance at enjoying their time in the flesh. Do you feel that hey get another shot at it somehow, or was that short and bitter existence all they were granted, and they are probably better off just forgetting it as they delight in their heavenly reward? It seems pointless to me to have that happen to them.

Life on the New Earth will be so wonderful no one will wish they were given more time on the Old Corrupt Earth. It’s an intriguing subject though.
