Didn't I just suggest that if you have nothing to say, say nothing?

I do have something to say. I said something back up in a previous post that you apparently thought you didn't need to respond to. As such, I can't take you seriously.

Do you have some substance, personal or academic, by which I can otherwise take you seriously?

If I missed it please point me to it.

I don't accept your arbitrary conceptual segmentation.

Then you are excused from this discussion about God flooding the world and people accepting it as morally acceptable. Which has reached a conclusion anyway, as BB has grasped the concept and regaled us with instances of people comitting atrocities thinking it was God's will. Which has been the point all along.

Stop your obfuscation and equivocation, Bradskii. It's getting tiring.

You'll happily fall back on your unsupported assertion that God's morality must be different to ours ...
Like here?

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

No idea. Who was it?
This thread turned into a discussion about Christians following orders from God to do immoral acts. Whose orders are atheists following when they murder people?

It's not that I need to "stay focused." It's that you need to become better educated.
I think one thing that confuses academians who think God acted one way in the Old Testament, and another way in the New, is the fact that the Old Testament covered a period of almost four thousand years.

And we see God handling a variety of circumstances:
  1. peace
  2. war
  3. martial law
  4. sin
  5. rebellion
  6. idolatry
  7. you name it

Numbers 14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

It can also simply be that they're bleeding heart liberals who have decided (without admitting as such) that "the Bible God has to go ... !" o_O And they'll say or do what it takes, even stonewalling, in order to push that agenda in the world.

Whose will is it when atheists murder people?

Have you ever been told:

"Leave your Christianity at the front door, when you come in here."

Can you blame them? As a Christian, I would like nothing better than to see the end of the Bible God.

Not in those precise words, but in ways more subtle, yes.

It either is or it isn’t fine.
Since the 20th century what mass casualty event has been carried out by Christians? If you are going to say Hitler was a Christian there is no need to respond
Have you ever been told:

Yes. On this forum
