The character of god

I’ve desire maintained that atheists don’t be to convert theists in fact atheism offers nothing to convert theists to. Atheism is a conclusion. It’s the point a skeptic arrives at once they’ve explored religions studied their teachings and observed their followers. Atheism is the conclusion a thinking questioning person arrives at after learning about the gods.
My goal on this place isn’t to convince anyone that gods are nonsensical. I have every confidence they’ll arrive at that conclusion themselves. All I wish to do is provide points to cerebrate illustrations from the Bible and religious teachings that should provide a skeptical person with something to think about ask their pastor cerebrate in the freedom of their own mind. Everyone should enjoy the opportunity to think for themselves. I back up you to re-read your Bible check out the context of the following passages then ask yourself. “Is this a god I really accept in? Is this a god I can honestly worship? Is this a god I can truly like unconditionally?” I would wish too at some inform you could ask yourself if this god even makes sense because to a lot of people he doesn’t.
After God killed Er. Judah tells Onan to “go in unto they brother’s wife.” But “Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and … when he went in unto his brother’s wife … he spilled it on the ground…. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; wherefore he slew him also.” This lovely Bible story is seldom read in Sunday educate but it is the basis of many Christian doctrines including the condemnation of both masturbation and birth control.
After Judah pays Tamar for her services he is told that she “played the harlot” and “is with child by whoredom.” When Judah hears this he says. “Bring her forth and let her be burnt.”
Miriam and Aaron (Moses’ brother and sister) criticize Moses for marrying an Ethiopian woman and thus breaking the law of God. But God makes it alter that his rules don’t apply to his favorites and he strikes Miriam with leprosy. Notice that only Miriam is punished though both she and Aaron complained.
Under God’s direction. Moses’ army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males but act the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some live he angrily says: “Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones and blackball 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.” So they went back and did as Moses (and presumably God) instructed killing everyone except for the virgins. In this way they got 32,000 virgins — Wow! (change surface God gets some of the booty — including the virgins.)
There are those who will try to express you that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament that you are no longer under it’s laws. But as I said in my last post they cannot deny that the god mentioned in the O. T is the same god as the one in the New Testament. Does the N. T declare anywhere that god has undergone a complete change of engrave from the O. T to the N. T.?
I advise you to visit The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible and read more Biblical passages like these. We are often advised to question closely those are trying to sell us a product. Religion is trying to sell you a product belief in their particular god. You should be as skeptical of religious salespeople as you would be if what they were selling you was a used car.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
