Why I'm Still a Christian

[robvalue]

Do you actually believe Noah's flood really happened Lek? Are you are aware that it has been thoroughly scientifically debunked? It simply did not happen. In fact, it's a rip off of earlier mythology, like many parts of Christianity.

I really don't know how you can justify to yourself that ordering the slaughter of entire cities, one after the other, is not an evil act. Oh yes, sometimes they kept the virgins for sex slaves and just killed everyone else. Your justification is the people would have died anyway? Why did they need to die, were they all evil, even the babies?

Part of your brain must know this is an indefensible act, and if anyone other than God did it, you'd call it monstrous. But God simply gets a pass. Why does he get a pass?

Hmm... Let's try another. God ordered slaves be released but deliberately interfered with free will to stop the masters releasing the slaves, so that he could send more plagues upon them. How can you justify that?
