Is jesus the same god or isn't he?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The fundamental claim of christianity probably shouldn't strike you as a trick question.

Are we defining 'atrocities in the Bible' as mentions of bitter herb abortifacients too ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned these but-Lot offers his daughter to be gang raped (it doesn't happen) A Levite offers his concubine to be gang raped, she is most likely raped to death, then he cuts her into 12 pieces and sends those pieces to the 12 tribes of Israel.

pull yourself together !!! An apologist might say the Levite was an evil man doing an evil thing, but the scripture says Lot is a just and righteous man right before he offers his daughter to be gang raped in place of angels (that he didn't know were angels.)

That Lot character was the best of the lot in that town. Remember, the real sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was that they didn't show hospitality to strangers (Ezekiel 16:49). And once you extended hospitality you were obligated to defend your guest at all costs.
The Lot story builds upon the Abraham story in Genesis chapter 18 where Abraham and Sarah extend hospitality to the three men. Afterwards those three men were going toward Sodom (Genesis 18:22).
In Genesis chapter 19 the three men had been transformed into two angels. Lot then takes them in.
There's a story in the Babylonian Talmud, which I can't find tight now, about a couple of towns that hated to take in guests.
There's a whole essay on how hospitality to strangers is comparable to worshiping God.
The problem is that Gentile Christians want to adopt the ethnocentric Jewish fairy tale as their own but have zero interest in doing anything that it says they should do.
