I've asked for that as well, and I haven't seen it offered. I just want to be perfectly clear here, that no matter what your claims about god, or the narrative of god are, it's likely that you have no...
Evidence?
(you see, sounds to me like Jephthah had a lesbian for a daughter, and that was fucking with his plans to trade her for a goat and two bags of sand, but at least I have the honesty to admit that it is conjecture based upon a fairy tale. Context arguments are unimpressive to me, and here's why. The context of your narrative is this: it's a fairy tale.)
An arguement used by most atheists here.
Athiest: "your God of the bible is evil because of this story"
Christian: "no, you have the story wrong. This is what happened."
Athiest: "well that's just stupid because the whole bible is stupid."
You only use the bible to prove how rediculous the stories are and how evil God is. But when you use a story to say God is evil but then proven by having the true story revealed, you revert to your backup saying "that's stupid because the bible is crap and made up anyways." you can't win a biblical discussion so you have a double standard arguement so biblical arguements only work when you use them. Quite frankly, I'm unimpressed and unsurprised.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
