Problems With The Bible Pt 5 - Sodom and Gomorrah
April 29, 2015 at 6:35 pm
Taking a look at some of the problems with Sodom and Gomorrah, Why did God need to send angels to scout the city for him?  Why would God negotiate with Abraham about the people in the city?  Why didn't God keep lot from getting raped?  And much more.

Xtians never quite seem to realize how badly their so-called god comes across.

Personally, I put that down to a personality flaw among believers.

They are stupid.

Most, if not all, of the old testament stories have holes in them. Abraham couldn't find ten good people there, but apparently there was Lot, his wife, his daughters, and two men they were betrothed to. That somehow disappear so that the girls need to rape their father to make sure they have children. That's six people already. There weren't four more? We know the standard is kind of low, because the most righteous man in town offered his daughters in the place of two strangers he pulled into his house. They didn't bang on the door, and beg to be let in. He insisted they come in, and offered his daughters up to the mob afterwards.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Well done. We want that angel booty! lol

It's a classic. The pointless divine intervention strikes again. God defies the laws of physics to do absolutely nothing.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

Pretty sure you're not smarter than the average theist. Do you even have a GED?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

What could angel scouts learn that God didn't already know 1000 years earlier ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Because he wanted to set up Lot for offering his daughters to be gang raped so they are utterly prepared for the ensuing father daughter fuck in the cave. God always works in misterious ways.
