LOL, humans are the rapists. Take ownership and repent.
God would be just in destroying all humanity for law breaking. He was merciful in sparing any.
Yet, you laughingly blame God for your wickedness.
Not even close to Atheists. Add all other ideologies and combine them...and they still don't come close to equaling the body count from Atheists of the 20th century.

Gods Morality is based on His objectively existing moral character. It exists outside of the human mind therefore it exists objectively.
Subjective morality is just based on human opinion and just exists in your mind, ie subjectively.
If morality is not objective then it doesn't actually exist, it is just your subjective feelings and opinion in your head like something imaginary and in fact it is imaginary if there is no God.
All humanity is, by nature, depraved. Much has been done in the name of Yeshua that is shameful and biblically unjustified. No one can deny their sin.Don't you think that could be because technologies of warfare, increases of population, and other modern differences make a huge difference in body counts? How is that a fair comparison?
The point you were responding to wasn't even a comparison of numbers. It was simply saying the truth -- that Christians too have a bloody history. Own up to it.

And who is responsible for having created that nature, according to you?All humanity is, by nature, depraved.
God's moral law is the standard of measurement, which God, the Judge, uses to declare right or wrong.If a god's morality is objective, then "good" and "evil" have nothing at all to do with that god, because it's based on something external to that god. That's what objective means:
"the state or quality of being true even outside of a subject's individual biases, interpretations, feelings, and imaginings."
Notice the "outside of a subject's..." part. That goes for you and me, and even a god, who doesn't get some sort of special pleading pass, despite whatever pathetic wordplay most theists use.
Yes, and as I said in another post which was conveniently ignored:
"Subjective things exist. Even one better, societies tend to have intersubjective morality, in that the majority of individuals have similar morals. As in, most people believe stealing and murder to be wrong, ceteris paribis. It has never been the case in any society that everyone's morality is completely different from everyone else's. Intersubjectivity makes morality within a society possible. And within any given intersubjective system,objective statements can be made, which makes situational ethics possible.
So the whole Christian gotcha of objective morality is a non starter, and frankly pretty silly."
Opinions exist. They're far from imaginary. Let me prove it to you:
My opinion is that you're not spending enough time actually thinking about all this. Because whether a god exists or not, people have actual real opinions about things...
God created humans to obey Him. Humans failed. Humanity is responsible for lawbreaking and being depraved.And who is responsible for having created that nature, according to you?
What makes his judgment "just"? That he says so?God's moral law is the standard of measurement, which God, the Judge, uses to declare right or wrong.
God decides and all His creation is subject to them, whether anyone likes it or not.
My judgment, or your judgment, regarding God's moral law, is irrelevant. God's judgment is just as the one who created us and the law.
So he bears ultimate responsibility for our nature, having created us?God created humans to obey Him. Humans failed. Humanity is responsible for lawbreaking and being depraved.
Yes.What makes his judgment "just"? That he says so?
You cannot excuse your actions onto your parents anymore than you can excuse your depravity onto God.So he bears ultimate responsibility for our nature, having created us?
So whatever he says automatically becomes "moral"?Yes.
The Sovereign King declares and all Creation is subject under His just decree.
Your whining is irrelevant.
But I didn't create my own nature, which you claim is depraved. So how am I responsible for my "depraved" nature?You cannot excuse your actions onto your parents anymore than you can excuse your depravity onto God.
Own your depravity as being because of your lawbreaking.
Yes.
The Sovereign King declares and all Creation is subject under His just decree.
Your whining is irrelevant.
All humanity is, by nature, depraved. Much has been done in the name of Yeshua that is shameful and biblically unjustified. No one can deny their sin.
Yes.
The Sovereign King declares and all Creation is subject under His just decree.
Your whining is irrelevant.
But you know, the "Dear Leader" is just a depraved human being instead of a almost divine being, while his "Sovereign King" is the one and only God instead of a philosophical extrapolation of iron age mythology.Why do you enjoy being a slave to a totalitarian regime?
Your view of theology is exactly what Christopher Hitchens was talking about when he called god the "Dear Leader" of a celestial North Korea
