Yes. The book that authorizes raping and pillaging, claims that gays are bad, but incest is perfectly fine, bastardizes the teachings of Jesus, is so rock solidly inconsistent that there are 67 versions in English alone...
Watch Book of Eli and maybe reconsider the security of the Bible the way Eli did "It's a little beat up, but it will do the job". It's not perfect. Was never meant to be.
Um... no... like seriously no to everything. If Jesus had been sacrificed upon birth, you might have a case here, but he was a grown adult man. Now MAYBE you can articulate that because he was perfect that would be the equivalent to an abortion based on that technicality, but him going to the cross was not an act of evil. In fact by saying so you pretty much vindicate the two points you were trying to make about accusing God of being evil because, well... Jesus pretty much went willingly.
That whole "we put Him on the cross" argument quickly falls apart when you realize that people were ready to die to prevent such a thing. So if people were ready to fight on His behalf, that kills the "we put him there" argument. Of course that same argument stems from the inherited sin fallacy so I'm not surprised you tried it.
Jesus put himself on the cross because it's what needed to be done. He was put there by the establishment religion and the Roman empire and likely would be put there again by the Christian church and the American empire if He were to come today in the same way He did the first time.
I attack the religion because it's based on Paul, not Jesus. If it was based on Jesus, we'd be in a better world provided people stuck to just what Jesus said and not interpretations. We all have our own interpretations of His teachings and that's okay. He didn't give us this knowledge to be right. He gave it to us to learn what is right, but more importantly to learn how to love unconditionally as He does. This is why I welcome challenges. I am secure in my beliefs because peoples anger is not an attack. It's a cry for help. Nothing they can say or do will change the existence of God, so why get so butthurt about it?
Then why are there 67 versions of just English? Why are there inconsistencies with His personality between old testament and new? Why was Biblical canon decided on by a group of people accountable to no one? Why was Enoch left out?
How can you confirm any of the crap you claim is absolute truth? Were you there? Where's your proof?
And who are you to decide what mediums God can and cannot speak from? "The Lord works in mysterious ways" is actually a more ambiguous statement than most Christians are comfortable with acknowledging and thinking about because when you do you realize that God is NOT limited to one book that has been defiled and bastardized through the centuries and can even speak truth through even the most stubborn of doubters.
Your interpretation is yours to decide. But your interpretation, like Paul's is not law. If you spent as much time focused on bolstering your stance as you did trying to reach and understand people, you might find yourself living a more fulfilled life...
