Partial list of terrible shit done by god in the bible by Renly Brandell
Deuteronomy 22:28–29; God’s punishment for the raping of a virgin is to pay her father 50 shekels of silver and marry her for life. The rapist was seen as ruining someone else’s property, not ruining a young girl’s life. Forcing a girl to marry her rapist and have her father accept some money as compensation is disgusting.
Samuel 7:11; God, through Nathan, says he is going to punish David’s affair with Bathsheba by making all of David’s wives prostitutes. God making David’s wives prostitutes, despite what His own law said, is not moral.
Leviticus 26:29; God describes how he will punish people by making them eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters. Any God threatening to force people into cannibalism on their family is not moral.
Joshua 6:20–21; God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men, women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys”. C’mon. Ruthlessly murdering all the women and children in a city is not moral.
Deuteronomy 2:32–35; God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. Later in chapter 3:3–7, God commands they do the same to the city of Bashan. Killing children ain’t moral, dude.
Numbers 31:7–18; God decides to not kill everyone this time. This time, He commands the Israelites to kill all the Midianites except the virgins, whom they will take as spoils of war. Killing everyone besides virgins and using them as sex slaves isn’t moral.
Genesis 7:21–23; God drowns the entire population of the earth (except for Noah and his family): men, women, and children, both born and unborn, because they were “evil”. I don’t know how unborn children could be evil, but whatever. Killing the entire population of earth, including innocent babies, is not moral.
Judges 11:30–39; Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites. Jephthah is crazy for burning his daughter alive and God is crazy for allowing it. Child sacrifice is not moral.
Deuteronomy 21:18–21; God demands we kill disobedient teenagers. Stoning disobedient children to death is not moral.
Exodus 21:20–21, Colossians 3:22–24, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Peter 2:18; God legitimizes slavery by saying it’s okay to own slaves and to beat them. Slaves are told to obey their masters just as they would obey Jesus, even if their masters are harsh. God blatantly supports slavery. Supporting slavery is not moral.
Haha. Okay, I will answer each of your (already asked and answered) poor arguments, later when i have time to do ao.
but first, the very idea that God could be immoral showed a flawed perception of the nature of God.
your "morality" is admittedly not objective, so in your world view, Hitler didn't do anything objectively wrong, it just wrong to you, in the current age of society. If someone were to steal an infant, rape them, eat them alive, and shit on the remains it would not be objectively bad, in fact, in your world view. It's possible that it could be subjectively good and right.
in a world without objective morality everything is permissible.
Your argument is that god cannot be wrong therefore no matter what god does it is moral. You are the one who justifies killing babies as god is supposed to have done in your fictional book you actually believe is real. You said it yourself: What is wrong with that? I say there is a natural human morality that says that is wrong. You say if god does it it is right yet you accuse me of having no standard of morality. So not only do you justify unfathomable evil you double down and accuse me of what you do. Big time fuckin' loser!
For the sake of argument. I'm just going to give you everything, I will (falsely) say sure God says kill babies. You have no moral ground to say that's wrong.
Have you ever debated a flat-earther over science? And how they have a long list of arguments expecting thorough answers but each argument Is built from ignorance? This is what it's like for me right now.
Do it
