Gods immorality.
#2
RE: Gods immorality.
Seems like there are certain ways various Christians deal with this.

1. Follow their own moral compass. Perform Olympian levels of mental gymnastics in order to make the immoral stuff in the Bible fit their moral compass.

2. Follow their own moral compass. When confronted with things in the Bible that disagree with their moral compass, ignore them, or claim they are some kind of mistake of human origin.

3. Claim that there is nothing in the Bible that is immoral, since it comes from God. Perform actions that they feel bad about, but since the are condoned by God, they must actually be moral.

4. Do obviously immoral things, but claim that that God told you to do them.

The first 3 Christians are more moral than their god. They understand deep down that the Bible contains the god doing and ordering immoral acts.

The 4th type is a psychopath.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
