but that's the thing all of you seem to always get wrong. A/S/K is unique to Christianity. All other religions has their deity funnel instruction through prophets or at the very least priests. In biblical Christianity God wants to deal directly with you/no middle man. Their is a vast difference between hearing the words of a prophet and dealing directly with God the Holy Spirit yourself.

I don't understand your point. In Christianity there have been numerous prophets and no one is in contact with any god now.

Again Righteousness is not assigned by evaluating action and judging it good or bad. It is following the command of God.

God's will changes over time... at least I assume as much. Or is God still cool with owning rape slaves? Does he still require ritualistic animal sacrifice?
No. So how, then, is his morality absolute?
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

Actually their was only John the Baptist and he died before Christ did.
In Jesus told the disciples that He has to leave so the Father would Send the Holy Spirit (God) to interact with all of directly. So He left.. Acts two Marks the 'out pouring of the Holy Spirit.' From that point on God dealt with people on a one on one basis. No prophets! We did have Apostles, but that was only to set up the church. (Remember we are talking biblical Christianity not church tradition.)

Book chapter and verse please...
If you took the time to look things up the 'rape of slaves' is an over exaggeration of a command God told one of the 12 tribes of Israel to go out and Kill their ememies and take their 'virgins' and marry them.
So the 'rape of slaves' was never a command, just another atheist strawman.
and if you are an OT Jew more specifically a levite Priest He does indeed require animal sacrifice.
Again, nothing has Changed.

Imagine that you're a 12 year old girl and your entire family was brutally murdered by raiders. Now one of these men claims you as his wife.
Yeah, sounds consensual to me.

Think of the 12 year old girl in a painfully twisted analogy in which she is happy instead. Tadah! Problem solved.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

If Drich is the chosen one (amazing powers of recovery, grand sums of money out of nowhere, amazing wisdom (l-o-fucking-l)), then I volunteer to be the captain on team Satan.
