I really enjoy reading the bible but i just can't get over the cruelty of it. [Spirituality & Religion]
Every time i read something like "And then they burned him and his family alive" or "and they killed every man, woman and child" it just bums me out. How can this be the will of a loving god? That's a hard pill to swallow.
Thoughts?
[c=#BF0000]Edit*[/c][b][i][c=#BF0000]Can you imagine killing even a single little girl? That sweet, round little face looking up at you in terror as you cut her open? Much less THOUSANDS?! And that is what a just, loving, RIGHTEOUS god orders? I can't see that.[/c][/i][/b]

Yes it’s like when I read the work of atheistic regimes in the 20th and 21st centuries the way they murdered millions of men women and children. I think that is what you should be more concerned with rather than something that happened thousands and thousands of years ago. You appear to be unconcerned with these things though. Modern atrocities move you at all. Shall I tell shall I tell you what I you why? Because you are into point scoring rather than truth. If you are really into truth you would be far more concerned with what’s happening today then what happened thousands of years ago. So why don’t you start getting concerned about kids are starving to death in the world today rather than what happened thousands of years ago? I know so many Christians who are trying to help kids who was starving in the world by feeding them. Why don’t you help the sponsor some of these kids instead of crowing on your little website?
lol Aaaaaand of course you have no interest in actually discussing my genuine moral dilemma with the notion of the god of the bible. You're only interested in attacking me. In winning an argument.
Classic deflection.
Pointing your finger at something else does not in [i]any way[/i] mitigates the evil of the first thing.
You get that, right? Of course you do. You're just dull enough to think that the deflection will work. Sorry, we're not all as gullible as you😁

I said it before and you appear to have already forgotten. If the good is really your priority and not just a stick you're trying to beat me with then every time you feel like commenting about how wrong or ignorant i am...donate your money or time to a worthy cause of your choosing.
But you don't do that because that's not what makes you feel good. [i][b]Fact[/b][/i] And you'll prove me right when you fine yourself incapable of ignoring this post and insult me instead of helping some needy person. [quote]‘love your neighbour as yourself’[/quote] Try it out, sport😉
@Pikachu The fact if you read the garbage you’ve just put down you have actually made no point whatsoever. Read it again . Now when are you going to answer my point? What are you doing to help needy children in the 21st first century? You are just some hypocrite who is delving into the past and feeling good about it when you’re doing absolutely nothing about the present needs of children all over the world many of whom are in slavery . I would think you really cared about children if you were doing something about that like many of my Christian friends are all over the world . But now you are just making protestations on the Internet about things which happened about 6000 years ago . The one word for you is hypocrite . You don’t care about children you are just trying to make a point like all the other atheists on here. Your point is actually totally invalid because of this . If you are anything like a man you’d own up to this. You don’t care about people you care about trying to get yourself noticed on the Internet
lol i can always tell when you're getting genuinely mad😂

Lol talk about your personality disorders... Point proven, hypocrite. Get in your scathing last word and then kindly excuse yourself😏
I’ve not noticed Atheists treating people particularly well. After all it was atheistic regimes who are the greatest mass murderers of the last century murdering hundreds of millions of people@Entwistle
