If I missed it please point me to it.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.
Oh, ad hominem ftw! You're all class.Do you have some substance, personal or academic, by which I can otherwise take you seriously?
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.
Is it possible to tell the difference?
Like here?You'll happily fall back on your unsupported assertion that God's morality must be different to ours ...
Like here?Bungle_Bear said:... while ignoring the morality God is claimed to have given in the bible ...
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?No idea. Who was it?
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.It's not that I need to "stay focused." It's that you need to become better educated.
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.Then you are excused from this discussion about God flooding the world and people accepting it as morally acceptable.

And we see God handling a variety of circumstances:
- peace
- war
- martial law
- sin
- rebellion
- idolatry
- you name it

Have you ever been told: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 ... !"And they'll say or do what it takes, even stonewalling, in order to push that agenda in the world.
Can you blame them? As a Christian, I would like nothing better than to see the end of the Bible God.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 ... !"And they'll say or do what it takes, even stonewalling, in order to push that agenda in the world.
Have you ever been told:
