Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

[Aractus]

The law says that people should be killed for certain offenses. you quoted one such instance yourself. Would such killing be sinful? You're still dodging the question.

If you want to be justified by the law, you will be judged by it. Christ has promised, however, that those who follow him will not even pass before judgement (John 5:24).

Since there is no way that you are going to be able to keep the whole of the Jewish law, nor do I believe that you want to, then you can't decide to act upon the "divine instruction" to kill sinners. You don't get to decide what to follow and what not to follow. You would have to take your brothers wives as your own should they die and produce children for your dead brothers, etc.

There are 27 New Testament books and 66 in the whole Bible, many of which make predictions that came true. Outside sources:

Are you saying all this evidence is a cleverly-contrived pack of lies?

Why use the secular term "prediction" in place of prophecy? The clearest prophecy in the New Testament is the destruction of Jerusalem. Athiests claim that the text is either written during or after AD 70 or that the original texts were altered to include the prophecy. You can't prove a negative, as you well know, so their claim of maticulius conspiracy means they should be able to provide evidence for it. Their only evidence resides in weak textual criticisim.
