Evidence God Exists

At this point I'm just thankful it never explicitly said which hair gave him that strength, the thought of Delilah's servant cutting off his pubic hair disturbs me deeply.

What did it accomplish apart from terrifying Isaac? If a sane god was testing Abraham's integrity then why didn't he rebuke the man the moment he agreed to murder his son in cold blood on a whim?

And here's something that proves the god of the Bible is bullshit. This deity is supposedly "all knowing". But he found it necessary to "test" Abraham. Why? Because he didn't know if Abraham would be loyal to him! Genesis 22:12 reads, "Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God".

By saying "now I know", "God" is implying that he didn't know before! So much for omniscience!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Your answer is in Matthew 12:32
32.And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Jesus sometimes refers to himself as the son of man so I guess cursing him is okay. I think Dad is cool with it too but that asshole the Holy Ghost is one unforgiving bastard!!

Hebrews 9:22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Matthew 26:27,28
27.And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28.For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

As you can see god after the model of most of the previous gods before him requires the shedding of blood since he was a blood thirsty tyrant like all of his predecessors.

And why does this matter? Doesn't accepting Jesus mean that HE takes the punishment for your sins and you get free admittance to eternal paradise? So, if a parent kills their child to make sure the child gets into heaven, then accepts Jesus and asks forgiveness, isn't the parent covered?
Asking for forgiveness would have to be earnest and sincere, and not heinous and cunning, which is what would be required to plot killing your own child to insure they enter heaven. So the parent would not be covered, and would be severely judged and punished.

But it WOULD be earnest and sincere. The parent accepts Jesus and asks forgiveness. BOOM! Jesus takes the punishment for your sins and your ticket to paradise is punched!

If he confesses with his mouth and believes in his heart that Jesus is lord he will be forgiven. Period !!

Surely in this case you mean omniscience?

More specifically that is.
