I am glad those fictitious stories are not true, but is is sad that in this day and age people believe them, and far worse find them to be moral.
If that is the best an allegedly "all powerful" "all loving" God can do being perfect, sorry, he sucks at his job. I think the better option as to why people wrote that crap was because it reflected the very tribal times they lived in where loyalty to the rulers was much more of a demand.
I keep being accused of misunderstanding. So I want to make sure I address you properly. Are you trying to change the subject, or is this a poisoning the well attempt? I believe that you hold to a subjective ontology of morality, so are you judging on the correct basis, or do you think that you are the basis?
I have been at debate online since 01, and long ago I learned that a theist always has an end game. You will try in this thread to argue you are not trying to convince anyone your God exists, then argue in another thread, or start another thread, here or on another website that he does exist. Now, do yourself a favor, if you buy the Christian bible, and view it as your source of morality, then stop trying to dodge it.
You are not the first theist I have debated, nor are you the only religion I have debated.
If you have a God belief, and you use a holy book to justify your morality then there is no way to avoid the subject because that is where you are filtering your sense of morality from.
But please do not insult my intelligence and pretend you have no end motive.
