Right. Ok. I'm sorry that you're so narrow-minded that you're not even willing to consider the truth.
Hehehe. You said "truth."

Yeah, A huge red flag. I didn't believe from the age of 9, how long before you realized they are wrong?

Nowhere does he sanction mass murder, rape, or enslaving humans. This is where we are talking about only seeing part of the truth...you see what you see and like any 3 year old who just wants a cookie, they can't think beyond the moment and despite what Mom and Dad really are like, that 3 year old is convinced they're a monster. Your issue is that you think, with your flawed human understanding that you know better than the one who spoke it all into existence. That's quite arrogant.

Typical irrelevant nonsense. Translation: You don’t have my rose colored glasses on. Well, until you actually read the book with honest discernment, you will not understand what it simply is saying. Which is, that the Israel leaders needed a way to keep their people obedient and justify their atrocities.

you said is it a red flag.

I answered "yes, it was a big red flag. so big a red flag that I didn't believe them since the age of 9."

I then asked you when did you realize they were wrong?

Again, until you can establish that an omnipotent being wrote the Bible, you just have goatherders writing down things most rational humans today recognize as absurd and immoral. And sadly, you agreeing with and worshiping their absurd mythical manmade god.

So, you are defending a completely different god than the abrahamic god?

errr,

you asked me if the OT was a red flag. I said it was such a big red flag that i didn't believe them in third grade. I knew at 9 the biblegod was not real.

All i am asking is when, at what age, did you realize they were wrong about the biblegod?

I believe you were the one that led with the assertion that it wasn't. So prove it.
