Why do Christians WANT to read the Bible?

Is there any context in which you think slavery is morally acceptable?

You think the inability to recognise what is wrong makes someone more culpable? Morality IS the ability to recognise the difference between right and wrong actions. Christianity claims their deity is perfectly moral, can you see your error yet?

Asinine nonsense, Exodus 21 (edit for typo) specifically instructed primitive humans how to buy, own, and beat slaves, even to death, whereas your assumptions are unsupported so far. Not that it matters, the more choice and knowledge one has, the more culpable one becomes for their actions. Do you think a slug has more or less culpability for it’s actions than a human? How about a chimp and a human, chimps are pretty intelligent. Now imagine a deity with LIMITLESS intelligence, and LIMITLESS power, more or less culpable?

Then you won’t be insulted when I point out your posts demonstrate that you have a remedial grasp of language, literacy, and grammar. No grasp whatsoever of basic logical principles, and the boundaries of epistemology escape you entirely. Or that your posts are breathtakingly arrogant, dishonest, poorly conceived, even by the woeful standard of religious apologetics, and are also biased and unevidenced woo woo.

hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha, good one, irony?

Well they say hope is the best of things, but sadly your claim is demonstrably false, as can be evidenced from a cursory read of our exchanges.

It’s narrative champ, and try actually addressing my post, rather throwing cowardly ad hominem. As again, no one is being fooled here.

Omniscience

Omnipotent

Omnibenevolent

These are traditional Christian claims, did you not know this? More importantly are you saying you don’t believe your deity is omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent?

No, it means you disagree with centuries of Christian theology, and seem happy to worship a sadistic, brutal, narcissistic mass murderer as advertised in the bible. I can hardly be expected to know which parts of christianity you have decided to subjectively jettison, and which to cherry pick as true.

On the contrary, though your arrogant and vapid dismissal is again noted.

You (and your bible & deity) are the ones who have cheerfully defended slavery not me. I have stated, and do so again, that is an egregious evil. Were it within my power I would eradicate it. Nor did I create the economic and political systems of the world that I was born into to, nor do I knowingly exploit the use of slave labour. All of which is demonstrably more than you or your imaginary sky fairy can be bothered to do.

Nope I couldn’t give a flying fuck about either, you’re the one claiming to be a Christian, I merely cite centuries of Christian doctrine and the literal text of the bible, not whatever cherry picked mish mash you have chosen to delude yourself is true. Though now I know why you have unashamedly endorsed mass murder, genocide, infanticide, rape, slavery, ethnic cleansing and sex trafficking prisoners and many more egregiously immoral and evil narratives of the bible so easily, it’s because you recognise that is the deity being described, but you simply don’t care as you have abandoned any moral compass for blind adherence to the worst of biblical doctrine.

Yes I get it, you think rape, murder, mass murder, genocide, infanticide, sex trafficking, ethnic cleansing and torturing babies is a higher moral standard than denouncing them.

That rather says it all.

I don’t believe in any god, try again. The god imagined in the bible is demonstrably evil by any objective standard we have.

Not relevant, as comparing the moral culpability of one evolved mammalian ape species to an omniscient and omnipotent deity, is an egregiously moronic comparison, to anyone who has the remotes grasp of what the word morality means, sadly you appear not to have the faintest idea of what’s being explained to you, repeatedly.

Not relevant to how the statement disproved your claim, but since you have moved the goal posts here yet again, it merely shows your dishonesty.

Liar, I never said you couldn’t.

Did I claim god said this in the bible? Please quote my post with the post number, as this strikes me as another of your straw man fallacies.

I don’t think you have a very good grasp of what atheism means, if you did it might help you see what a particularly silly thing that is to say.

I NEVER SAID HE DID?

No, you have just waved it away by claiming not to share centuries of Christian doctrine, based on your own subjective interpretation of the bible.
