He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).

First it was rationalism, then it was Darwin, genetics, science, evolution and this last desperate attempt. Satan has always attacked us. But we have God on our side. We will prevail in the end.

But who is the anti-christ? Is it Obama or Richard Dawkins. I can't decide who is the most evil of those two?

What could Doctor Who, a TV series about a man from beyond this world who flies about doing things that contradict physics in order to battle supreme evil and save us all and who can regenerate himself instead of simply passing away like the rest of us, possibly have to do with our holy faith?

In the thread about gravity it says that theat gravity is not mentioned in the holy bible and everything is either in the holy bible or against the bible. So Since gravity is in accordance with physics and against the bible, physics must be against the bible. But Doctor Who is against physics, so it is against against the bible - double no=yes, so Doctor Who is in agreement with the bible

None of the persons you mentioned as being the victims of God's wrath had accepted Jesus as his or her personal Lord and Savior. So none of them was innocent--they were all sinners, just like you.

There's nothing to be scared of with atheists, you big sillies. I talk to them all the time and they're often really nice people. Shania is an atheist (kind of) though she sort of believes in spirituality and souls. Many of my feminist friends are also atheists but they're not mean to me at all - they think it's kind of cool that there's a lesbian vicar out there fighting the fight for women's rights in the church.

Many of them do really good works and I think our kind and loving God will let them into Heaven anyway because they do good things in the spirit of Christian values. For example, they sponsored my recent African condom drive by sky diving for charity and doing sponsored starve activities in solidarity with AIDS victims purely out of a sense of goodness. I respect that.

An intelligent and thaughtful answer. Charity is really important. Even through I'm a student I give away money, chlothes I can spare, shoes and much more to eg. the catasthrophy in the filippines, war in syria or to areas in Africa. I also do avoid big, evil corporations that pay very low wages, such as Ryan Air..
And I'm an atheist. I do respect your beliefs and I'm currently studying to become a teacher in religion in Sweden. You see, in our community we do not teach christianity per se, we teach it alongside other religions such as judaism.

I'm honored to be a part of this internet community - to learn from you, about your faith, and your thoughts.

But please, try not to hate ateists.. :wub:

Are you saying god is wrong?
John 13:34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

God tells us we should not feel hate with others. nor race nor, creed, no belief. We are all children of god. We are all loved by god. so we must all love each other.
