How do I give negative kudos?

The tenor of your answers leads to a very simple question: if so much of the Bible addresses right and wrong in a way that is not applicable to the modern world, what's the point of looking to it for guidance in matters of right and wrong?

Your answers have clearly demonstrated that looking to the Bible for worthwhile guidance is about as useful as reading the manual for an Apple II to fix problems you're having with your iPad.

And also...fuck Apple.

Once again you have shown that an apologist will invent any shit that pops into his head...declare his bible saved and pat himself on the back.

What you need is a swift kick in the ass, drippy.

Wow. I thought it wasn't possible to care even less for "the bible test" than I did until Drich's pompousness joined the conversation.

We need a "didn't give enough of a shit to read" button.

And another: Drich accepts that there was a time when his god ordered all these bad things to occur, and he also seems to implicitly accept that those things are bad, given that he retreats from each and every questionable thing at the speed of lazy apologetics... and yet he still considers his god a: moral (edit: sorry, make that "righteous," since I don't want to waste a post having to ask the question again when Drich comes back and smugly tells us that god is righteous and not moral ), and b: inerrant.

My question to him is twofold: would he accept this line of reasoning, where atrocities where commanded and commended by the thousands and then redacted later, from anyone else, if not, why does god get a free pass? And secondly, does he then admit that his god was wrong to order those things to begin with?

I haven't bothered with that test, and I won't bother with your replies to it. I didn't knew of it untill you mentioned it, Drich.
