Horrible things in the bible

[Retrolord]

Good replies
Just wanted to clarify. I'm not a creationist. I believed in Evolution and the big bang way before I knew anything about Christianity (I'm a convert)

Thats good to hear.

Just wanted to see what made other people non religious and a huge% of people answered it was because of the old testament. Maybe I understood it different than anyone else. I don't agree with many things in the bible but they are way past us. Or they simply never happened, in which case nothing to worry about. What the Israelites did or didn't do was never a reason not to believe in god.

I pretty sure that I speak for all atheist here when I say, I don't believe in God because there is no evidence for her existence. It has nothing to do with the atrocities in the OT.

The old testament isn't the reason I am Christian. On another thread about Ex Hindus I wrote why I believe in God because of the fruits of the spirit. If you want to write about that check it out.

I haven't meet one Christian who became Christian because of the OT. They turned Christian because of the love-dovey-scapegoating Jesus. And the peer pressure of the surronding community helped.

Also about republitards- I may be a retard, but not a Republican

Also good to hear. We have too many crazies in `Merica.

Well good to read a positive and kind reply
