Hey presto! Evil lying heretic atheist objections handled. Next.
Marcion was not an atheist, as he believed in the God of the New Testaments.
Of course, the historicity of the Old Testament I've not denied, but we must consider the pedagogy of God, of giving importance to justice in the Old Testament, so that afterwards the Lord Jesus, in taking justice for us, can show and make mercy understandable, as what is to be merciful upon without offense against justice? It's like learning algebra and analytic geometry first before trying to learn calculus.
