10 Questions Biblical Literalists Cannot Honestly Answer

I'm not a literalist because I keep things in overall context, but mind if I have a crack at it? My replies are in pretty green ink..-

1. Can you make a moral judgment against rape or slavery using only scripture?
Well this sounds good- "Control yourselves honourably, not in lust like the heathens" (1 Thess 4:4/5)
And Jesus said "Love one another", so christians therefore wouldn't want slaves anyway!

2. Would you sacrifice your child if god asked you to?
That's only a hypothetical question so nobody knows how to answer it.

3. Is it acceptable to cherry pick the bible and only follow the parts you agree with?
Which bible, the Old or New Testament? You can follow the harsh bits of the Old T if you like, but Jesus wouldn't be too pleased.
"Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers" (1 Pet 1:18 )

4. How did animal X get from point Y to point Z after the great flood?
It dried up.

5. How did carnivorous dinosaurs supposedly eat plants before the biblical fall of man, when their teeth and digestive systems were not equipped to process a vegetarian diet?
Not sure I understand the question. I suppose they supplemented their vegetarian diet with meat by eating each other for a while before God decided to pull the plug-
"Sorry kiddo, you're on the way out"


6. Can god tell a lie?
Why should he want to?

7. Is observable physical evidence more important and valid than what the bible claims to be true?
Well the bible says God created the universe, what more evidence do we need?

8. Is there any amount of evidence that would change your views?
Dunno bout Christians, but there's absolutely nothing that would make an atheist change his mind. Even if God dropped in for a chat he'd think it was a hallucination or something.

9. What physical proof is there that your particular god even exists?
The universe and divine creations like Lady Gaga.

10. Do you believe hell is a justifiable punishment for a simple lack of belief?
 Jesus said he's going to drink wine with his mates in heaven, so if people don't want to come to the party, they don't have to.
That's me out then, I don't drink (sniffle)
