Easy arguments against the Bible, and religion as a whole

chipan Wrote:well i guess you missed the part where i said "so yes, God did kill people himself but he always had a good reason for it. and you may say "isn't killing against the commandments of the bible?" well directly translated the hebrew word for it is to kill out of anger or hate. to kill someone for them to pay for a crime and not out of hatred or anger is justified, which is why they encourage the death penalty in the bible as well." if your going to correct me try to understand what i say or at least read it. it not only has your answer it has your question how could you miss that?

No, I didn't miss that part, I just thought it was ridiculous. My questions were meant to be rhetorical to make a point. I wasn't actually looking for your answer, because as you said, it was already there. My point was that killing should never be okay, regardless of the reason, and it's silly to think that an omnipotent being couldn't realize a better solution.

I wasn't trying to correct you, I didn't misunderstand what you had to say, nor did I miss what you said. I just think what you had to say is ridiculous. Killing is killing, whether the killer thinks it was for a good reason or not.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
