I am also done here.... it's repulsive to see such barbarism coming from "good" Christian people. This is just one more reason I'm glad I left Christianity.

I don't care who you talk to. 99.9999% of people will agree that killing a baby is murder. Again, if you had a child you would understand this. I have made it clear, several times, that I am against that. I believe the discussion here was about personal morals, not the morals of the...

drich0150, your sense of morality is really skewed. You said you would murder, commit genocide, rape and own slaves just because God commanded you. That is just sick. You are the type of person that if you were born into Islam you would strap bombs to your chest, if you were born in 1480...

Killing a man on the field of battle is different than slaughtering an innocent child in it's crib. First of all, slavery is slavery. Owning a human being is always wrong no matter the time or culture. Secondly, if you don't think the Bible doesn't say anything positive or negative you...

Worthy of stripes means worthy of a beating! What more clarification do you need? Ok, your comments on slavery are completely wrong. Yes, the US has done some real shady stuff. I'm not going to argue it, and neither am I the US so don't imply that I own/am a slave. And, we are not talking...

I'm not talking about our nations past. I'm talking about now. I'm talking about today. I'm talking about having a higher morality standard than generations past. Murder (The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.) and slavery (The practice or system of owning slaves.)...

So, you think slavery is ok? You think genocide is ok? You think rape ok? You think murder, human sacrifice, and the killing of many types of people just because God says they are evil is ok? You make me sick man. Fine, my standard is pop culture... you can say it's whatever standard you...

Stop preaching, and at least try and answer the questions I have asked. Ok, so I am going to write a book. This book will contain some very historical facts. Specific dates and events that are happening now. In this book I will place a large amount of theology. It will contain information...

And what, you think that I can't understand basic English? I can read, so don't imply that I'm an idiot. He meant worthy of punishment. Stripes meaning a beating with a whip or some object. Ok, that still didn't answer my question. If Christ has already come and set up his kingdom...

According to the Bible bro! God commits genocide, condones slavery, and destroys all of humanity... and that's all in the first few books. The Bible is violent, racist, sexist, and in many instances scientifically unfounded. What about God commanding the Jews to destroy entire cities...

Ok, now that we have name calling out of our system, perhaps we can get back to the discussion? If I can direct your attention to post #54 where you say, "Many other atheists found His Bible to contain enough clarity to believe it true." If clarity is not the point, then why use it as an...

Wow, really? However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children...

Wow, your obtuse. I said, "Let's say your right." That is a hypothetical statement, and therefore what came after that was all a hypothetical statement. I understand what you said. I said that although there are people who convert to Christianity every day because of the "clarity" of the...

I really doubt it's my misunderstanding. Several verses in the OT show us God's opinion on slavery. These passages include the buying, selling, punishment of slaves. Also, the legalities of human trafficking are outlined in Exodus 21:7-11. Jesus mentions that slaved can be punished...

From what I have read, it is safe to say that Grumpy and I both believe that the Biblical flood never happened. Global or local.

Well it seems that we have both overlooked some of the other's posts... either intentionally or unintentionally. My intentions, if you wish to know, are not evil as you may think. I believe that faith is essential in life. There are many types of faith and many degrees of faith, all of...

Well, if your Bible is perfect, it should be easy to defend.

Ok, let's say your right. God created mankind. God gave mankind superior intellect. Therefore I have the ability to think, reason, and question. Is it wrong for me to use these God given gifts? Whoa guy! You just said a few posts ago that some people convert to Christianity because of...

So, I'm going to rapidly age and die if I choose poorly? Dude, the Bible condones such heinous acts as slavery, racism, sexism, genocide, the killing of gays, killing rebellious children, and killing people who don't believe in God. I would challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

I could say the same thing about you. You make a LOT of assumptions about me. To be honest your arrogance is stifling at time. I don't know the average age on a carrier. It would depend on if you were talking about officer or enlisted and what pay grades. My age doesn't matter, but I...
