That’s a claim made by the Bible not evidence.

You’re mistaken in thinking I haven’t read the bible. It’s the main reason I became an atheist.

  • At I Samuel 15:3, the prophet Samuel gives King Saul this commandment from the Lord: “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”
  • Ezekiel 9:4-7 has this harrowing account: “And the Lord said unto him, Go through . . . the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. . . .”
  • Hosea 13:16 describes a punishment from the Lord: “Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.”
  • Deuteronomy 32:23-25 says that after the Israelites incited God’s jealousy by worshiping other gods, he vowed: “I will spend mine arrows upon them. . . . The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.”
  • In Numbers chapter 31, the Lord approves of these instructions that Moses gave to the Israelite soldiers about how to treat certain women and children captured in war: “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.”
  • Isaiah 13:9,15-18 contains this message from God: “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger. . . . Every one that is found shall be thrust through. . . . Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes . . . and their wives ravished. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them. . . . [T]hey shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not spare children.”

For everyone’s sake I hope it’s the made up crap of psychopaths that it appears to be.
As for the prophesies they’re as reliable as a newspaper horoscope and subject to interpretation.

I walked a Christian path for well over a decade. I studied the bible in depth. The more I studied and asked questions the less it made any sense. I studied my way out of religion by studying religion. Shut up or say something original. You are a sad little man who wants to be persecuted. You want to believe so bad everyone hates you. The harsh reality is you are an inconsequential meaningless microbe on a speck of dust whirling through a cosmos of chaos and insanity. Get over yourself, you aren’t a savior and you are quite literally not even worth a notation. You seem to use religion to put yourself on a pedestal. That’s quite sad your inner confidence in yourself is so lacking that you must contribute yourself to a made up man in the sky.

This always helped me to sleep whenever I started to fear the “Ghosts watching over me”

Seriously, realizing how inconsequential I am helped me mellow out immensely in life. Having no purpose or reason is amazingly liberating.

Speaking of which…I guess when Jesus popped out this morning he saw his shadow … so you all know what that means…

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out , that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2:19. That is my response to you, I don’t care how much you claim you studied and “walked a Christian” walk whatever that means. Clearly you never encountered God and now use it not only to deceive yourself but deceive others

It may be so that you don’t have any purpose or reason. But when you die and come to realize how wrong you were it will be to late. If I am wrong on all this then I’ve lost nothing in my life but if you are wrong about this life, you have lost everything.

But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:31 There’s your answer to why you wouldn’t believe still. And how about you learn not to cuss or swear in an argument it doesn’t add anything.

55

What’s wrong with using the bible for evidence, it’s written by many authors all talking about the same thing. It’s historically reliable and doesn’t have any inconsistencies.

56

Because you still are worthy to hear the message of Salvation.

57

What is this ‘everything’ being lost? What does it consist of?

58

So all those scriptures you brought up what does that have anything to do with you becoming an atheist.

59

You’re not American? Where are you then?

Have you actually read your bible? Cover to cover?
