Come on, doesn't that sound like a cruel, vindictive and heavy handed method?

If I do a bad job parenting do I just drown my children?

"Oh but god loves everyone"....

Do you see how ridiculous this all sounds?
Would you rather be a robot?

If they went to be with God, it was better than living in an evil world.

lol, you're the one sounding more like a robot, programmed only to follow what you've been told, not what you reason. You've stated that murder, genocide and taunting are not only acceptable, but also divine. And how could God have warned the entire worlds population through prophets? People didn't even communicate or fully reached the western hemisphere back then.

It's tough to break all the rules without knowing what they are in the first place.

I love how we go from "different interpretations of the Bible are just minor misunderstandings that are unimportant" to "you're wrong!!!1!" in just a handful of posts. Kind of shows how seriously the first claim should be taken.

That, plus god is powerless to fix what he has created.

When my car has a problem, I can either fix it myself or take it to a mechanic. Seems that God can't do this - it just does the equivalent of tossing every car ever made into the ocean in a hissy fit. I guess I'm smarter than it, or at least better at this whole taking care of stuff created by us thing.

With this in mind, I don't see why it is worthy of being worshiped.

No I don't admit anything, you seem to miss the point, but that doesn't surprise me. You god KNEW Adam would sin, then set him up and let him. Then makes his billions of children pay for Adam being set up. Twisted, very twisted. Only a blind believer cant see that and makes excuses for it.

Most, if not all can be refuted. And once again, unless one your "mistakes" refutes the main message that Jesus is our Savior, it really is not that important.



You cannot honestly read the words of Jesus and see His actions and believe that is the message.


No they cant be refuted people have tried and failed, they are written right there for all to read, mistakes, big ones. Science has also shown that the bible has not a clue about the world or whats in it. Sorry there is not refuting. And as much as you like to be blind and ignore it, your so called god had a book written that is chock full of mistakes. Doesn't seem like a real knowledgeable god.

I dont believe in your Jesus or that he did anything the bible says he did.
