It even has the verses listed and linked so you can check them out yourself.
The one in Numbers is my favorite, as it contains the caveat that the Israelites must kill all the grown men, grown women, and male children, but they get to keep the young, virgin girls for themselves. Gee, I wonder what that was for.
My disbelief has nothing to do with what I want to believe and everything to do with what evidence there is. Unlike you, I can't just decide to believe something because I think it sounds nice or because I'm scared to die.
I have seen the list you linked to and before I comment on them why do you believe that you have enough information about God to judge him and what he is actually doing?
Because I studied Christianity as a devout believer for over 20 years before realizing it was bullshit.
An all-good, all-loving Gaud would not command the seizure and rape of a whole nation of virgin girls. There is no scenario where that behavior equals love, even for someone who "works in mysterious ways."
If you can convince yourself that such a thing must be moral just because Gaud did it and that he really still loves us even though his book says he likes to kill us in droves and have us raped, then I shudder to think what kind of men you must involve yourself with.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
