Save us all some time and begin with what you believe to be your strongest point.
Quote:Should I start with the Bible's instructions on how to commit genocide and properly rape the sex slaves you take?
Or perhaps I should begin with prominent examples of genocide and infanticide in the Bible, as instructed by Moses himself?
How about the morality of your god's justice, where he punishes children for the sins of the parents, most famously that all women suffer for what Eve did?
But that's the OT, right? How about what the NT says about the no-brainer moral issue of slavery? Or royalty and dictatorship?
Whatever no-brainer moral issue you like to bring up, be it slavery, genocide, rape, torture, infanticide, dictatorship, incest, child-abuse, misogyny or persecution, the Bible manages to be on the wrong side of every single one.
What's the proof that there is a right and wrong side?
Quote:I can go on
Yes, you're quite capable of going on and on without supplying proof of your position.
Quote:but I'll give you the opportunity to object that I can't judge the Bible's morality as inferior since you'll predictably assert that I can't prove that rape, genocide or slavery are morally wrong and then I'll school you some more.
