Re: Hello there!

So what's the True Christian™ "out" here? God's not a person, so human morality doesn't apply? Or that He's not actually killing them (until He resurrects them to cast them into the lake of fire for eternity, which is the "second death")?

There is no "out" here, Mr. Much. I've read these passages a number of times, both separately and in context, and I have yet to find how they apply to the sin of rape and abortion, with the exception of the last one. The last verse explains one of the reasons marriage to the "rape" victim is compassionate: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD." (Deuteronomy 23:2) Since the married woman would not give birth to a bastard child, he would therefore not be barred from entering into the congregation of the LORD.

Re: Hello there!

I want to inform you all that you are terrible people.

An unbelieving god-hater with no objective standards accusing us Christians of being terrible for our objective moral standards.

Just...wow.

Re: Hello there!

Ever since I was a small child, say 7 or 8, the idea of an all-powerful, omniscient being was a bit unbelievable to me.

Most 7 or 8 year olds are capable of believing in God. Were you a bit retarded or something?

ROFL, this is why I find this so funny:

1. I didn't. Ever since I was a small child, say 7 or 8, the idea of an all-powerful, omniscient being was a bit unbelievable to me.

You realize that as an unbeliever meowpik, you claim to be omniscient and omnipresent. That is, one must be all knowing and everywhere present in the universe to know that God is non existent. How else can one be certain that God does not exists? By your elementary argument, you claim to be what you disagree with as existent.

Amen, friend. You are very astute for an unsaved slant. Atheism is riddled with contradictions and faith based claims. Further more, as you pointed out, atheists believe that they themselves, and their leaders, are gods. This is of course ridiculous, since atheists are hardly competent to grasp even the simplest nuances of the Bible. But they would have to be omniscient to know that God exists, since God deliberately hides Himself. After all, if there was a just and omnipotent God with a plan for everyone and everything, there would be absolutely no evidence of this fact. Therefore we can conclude, since there is no evidence of such a God, that He exists.

Amen too friend. "Therefore we can conclude, since there is no evidence of such a God, that He exists." We can conclude that God is not always present to bless one with his presence. God exposes the hearts of the seeker. God knows whether we will accept or reject Him despite whether He is there to bless or not. Question we should ask ourselves, am I receptive to God and if so when God reveals Himself to me will I obey Him? God already knows and this may be the reason He has not revealed Himself! After all, He is all-knowing!
