We seem to have answers for every point you've raised. Many of us have read the Bible for ourselves. I was a believer when I read it. You seem to be complaining that you're expected to back up your statements before we'll believe you're right. That IS pure laziness.
But you don't have to get back to all of us. The upstanding thing to do would be to select the very best points made against your posts and just address those if you don't have time to get to all of them. If you don't have enough time to address all posts, which ones you select to respond to will say a lot about you.

In the Old Testament, God appears harsh for three reasons. First, it was to demonstrate the exacting requirements of the Law--a perfect and demanding standard. Second, it ultimately demonstrates the need for grace that would eventually be manifested on the cross. Third, should rebellion take root the very heart of the gospel would be at risk since the prophecies of the Messiah coming to and through Israel could be undermined should rebellion become rampant and society fall apart causing the prophecies to fail. Therefore, we can conclude that this harsh requirement was a necessary legality to instill and designate the necessity of family order and respect and to ultimately provide another safeguard that would ensure the sacrifice of Christ.
So God asked the Jews to follow one version of morality and Christians to follow a different one? Read the Bible cover-to-cover twice, I noticed that too.
An Eternal and Unchanging God wouldn't do that.
God gave The Law that it would be kept.
Don't go overthinking that, you'll just come under the sway of Satan.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

A Poe is someone who pretends on the internet to hold positions they don't actually hold, in order to make the people who do hold those positions look bad. The classic example is an atheist who pretends to be a Christian and makes particularly bad arguments and treats people with disrespect.
Famously, it's very hard to tell a Poe from the real thing, whether they are good or bad at it, because there are sincere examples of the group being mocked acting the same way.
So, when a person who's presentation for their side is particularly appalling and stereotypical comes along, making uncharitable assertions about us, they are often suspected of being a Poe. It's impossible to be sure unless they admit it, though.
Speaking of charity, being accused of being a Poe is actually a compliment compared to be taken for face value. It implies you're someone who is bored and playing a prank, not someone who actually thinks what they're doing is worthwhile communication, which would be even sadder.
Awesome post, son!

I'll pass over half the drivel and get to the part where you say atheist marriages involve a lot of fights. Proof positive right here that you're wrong. I was married to a Catholic and we fought constantly. Married to an atheist now, we rarely argue for more than a few short minutes and rarely argue at that. Your assumptions are silly and based on nothing but your own deluded hopes that being an atheist is worse than being a whateverthefuckyouare because if being atheist is not any worse or better in terms of marriage or quality of life, you've been wasting your time. Now, fuck off and come back with some data for your broad and frankly insane claims.
I said "true Christian home". 
Haha, I can attest as well.
I'm not a "True Christian" as evident by my user name...  ...and yet I can sit here and say with all seriousness that my marriage is probably one of the best to ever have existed, like, of alllll time.

Also, Poe's Law holds that an extremist position on a subject is difficult to differentiate from a parody of the same. Some of the earnest theists will make claims or offer explanations that are so bizarre that it's tough to be certain that they're not just pretending. Thus, someone who comes along making posts that are meant as a parody may be taken seriously even as they get stranger and stranger. I think we've had one or two people who tried to see how insane they could sound before everyone realized that they were having us on. And then we have members like enrico...
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

You're not reading the bible properly! You have to use the secret filter which tells you which bits mean the opposite of what they say.
There is a problem with the filters though. When they were produced, a glitch meant they didn't all highlight the same areas to switch round, and now no one can remember what the original filter was meant to be. The results are now more or less random.
They're called Christian brains.
