Are you debating his character now?  What do you care with moral character of a God you do not believe in?

Because it demonstrates that your god is so horribly immoral that even were he/she/it/housecat/whatever be demonstrated to exist, then I would be it's moral superior.

I have better morals than the god you claim.

I do not condone slavery.
I do not stone my children to death for disobedience.
My eldest is trans, my youngest is bi.

Your god would have me kill both of them and then call it moral.

Your god sucks serious ass.

What do you want for acknowledgment, a kudos?  You gave a dumb answer and asked no questions.

How is it a dumb answer?, Please elaborate.

I have no questions. For you atm. All mine in the broad sense have been fully answered by my faith, Is yours leaving you wanting?

I’m not sure where you got all that but....OK. Now you're making claims about my “fictitious” God? Who told you to kill your children? That’s crazy.

With all due respect, I have no wish to debate with someone that claims the age of the earth to be 10 years old.

I think I made this point earlier. As I’ve learned more about atheists it seems to me most (some) of them don’t just lack belief in God but have a hatred for the non-god they don’t believe in.
And, at the same time lacking any confirmation bias, of course.

Of course everyone suffers from confirmation bias. Your faith weaponizes it, while science tries to ameliorate it with its methodology. That's the difference.
As for Atheists actively hating non-god, that sounds bogus, how would that even work. I know many atheists, and they don't seem particularly angry.

I guess you haven’t been reading many of these posts. One of the users has a profile picture of the flames of hell and a depiction of an angelic being tossing someone in. For people who don’t believe in the Christian God there is a lot of theology being debated.

There are entire forums dedicated to questions such as how exactly a photon torpedo would fare against romulan deflector shields. That don't mean those people are trying to book their next holiday on planet Risa if you know what I mean.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

He's clearly saying  if your god  did exist then he would be a moral monster .As for killing kids .

Quote:Deuteronomy 21:18-21 New International Version (NIV)
A Rebellious Son
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

Are you saying my date for the earth is outrageous? Why is my date for the earth unacceptable?
You're starting to sound like one of those non-believing scientists.

Wrong. FSM is genderless but uses the pronouns xir,xim and xe
