Religious friend dumps pile of shit in my facebook inbox. Too thick to tear apart.

It doesn't matter if it's one person, or three people. If morality comes from any individual(s), it's subjective. That's what subjective means. Besides that, you're talking about a set of morals that says slavery, rape, and genocide is ok within certain limits, but consenting same sex adults making love is an abomination. The bible fails as a moral guide.

I agree, I've seen those statements too. I've given up on trying to put them into an argument. The only reply I get is "you've never read the bible, so you don't know what you're talking about". Well no, I haven't read the bible. I've been against religion ever since I was in my early teens. I've always thought church was a load of shit, I just never solidified myself into an atheist thinker until I discovered what atheism was, when all the pieces sort of fell into place. In his mind, whatever he says is true, so if you haven't read what he's read, he will say that you don't know the context, therefor your arguments are invalid. Most of the videos I watch and have always watched are Sargon of Akkad, The Amazing Atheist, Darkmatter2525, to name a few. I couldn't use those in an argument, obviously, because it will just be seen as biased logic. Tbh I find it way more difficult to read someone's religious crap than say, watch the entire carl sagan's cosmos, like I did when I was a lot younger. I do want to read the bible some time, but I just feel like I am not cut out to be a serious debater, because I just find trying to study some bullshit opposition which often sounds stupid right from the first couple sentences way too arduous.

Holy shit that took forever to type. My computer or the connection to this website is lagging so bad. It takes forever for the words to show up.
