God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

That's some weird stuff. Even the child of god will need a good few hours to assemble some apologetics for that.

Them memorize them all!
I tried it. It refreshed my memory on the 42 kids that were killed by bears for mocking a man of god. Seriously! This story was told at Sunday school to kids and we accepted it as a good ending! Lol! Christians can be so cruel and not even realize it.
There is a nice little youtube video about this, The bald avenger done by the Thinking atheist, it's worth a watch.

How do those verses say anything about aborting a child. I'm still waiting on the verse about aborting a child.

Professional interest? Or morbid curiosity, which?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So when Lot's wife was turned into salt it signifies that she was free of sin and was spared participation in the subsequent sinful acts committed by Lot and her daughters.
They were told by God not to look back, and she looked back. I'm pretty sure it wasn't because God was trying to spare her from sin.
Here's a thing. The human body contains many salts, however presumably the bible passage here is referring to table salt, sodium chloride. If Lot's wife was reduced to salt, in the sense that her salt content was extracted Star Trek style, what would be left is enough salt to make a cube almost five centimetres per side - about seven tablespoons. Hardly a pillar.
Maybe, instead of her natural salt content being extracted, her bodymass was literally converted into sodium chloride? Well, even if that were possible - this is a vengeful god, after all - the energy released in the process would be ridiculous. I'm not a physicist, but even I have a healthy respect for e=mc²; we're talking Hiroshima times about a million here. How did our 'heroes' survive the blast, and how come the bible isn't telling that story? That would kick arse!
Oh wait - it's going to be midichlorians again, isn't it?

The woman dragged before the temple priesters was lucky to get by with 'only' a bitter herb abortion. Kind of a screaming liberal policy there considering the vengeful and cruel deity they worshipped. She might have expected to be cut up and the fetus dashed against stones before her dying eyes. Afterall, just raising suspicions is practically as bad as being actually guilty.
If modern era believers have a problem with this morality tale it would be with the bleeding heart liberal basis of the law there. Apparently even in the early bronze age the church was beset with fucking backsliding slackers.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

See people? Fucking nailed it.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

It states baldly that a man who suspects his wife is cheating on him and has conceived from the affair should bring him to the local temple where the rabbi will administer a potion to her which, if the foetus is conceived of the affair, will cause it to be aborted.
For somebody who is a "true student" of the bible your knowledge of its passage is sorely lacking.
