Master~Plan : No worries, I didn't even want you to respond to it, because I certainly don't expect you to respond to the entire thing, and if you pick and choose paragraphs to respond to from the enormous article, well then... I just wanted you to read it. I think it makes some great points...

Never will I ever accept the "translation error" excuse as valid. This is an absolutely ridiculous claim. If the Bible is God's way of communicating with me, and if God really wants to save me, then he should at least take the time to proof read his best-seller.

The most Holy Bible of the Living God records that they merely called him a "baldhead." Elijah then cursed them, and then they were torn to shreds. This is not the equivalent of a street-tough gang jumping you. This is some kids playing hopscotch insulting your big nose, or your funny glasses...

I briefly checked out the sources you gave me, haven't had a chance to do any other research. Basically, it seems like its just saying that the Pentateuch is a collaboration of many writers' works, rather than the traditional Moses. I don't really see how this can help or support any particular...

Then let everyone drop dead this instant, or none. Let not God be inconsistent.

Aaah, that's cool. BTW, Eon, you never did get around to explaining your beliefs to me. PM me if you feel like it.

Wow, I wish I could say I was an Asatruaar...I don't even know what it is, it just sounds so awesome

I don't accept it, Master -- however, I'm arguing from the position of acceptance to prove points. If this is true, then what? By doing this, we can point out problems, inconsistences, and absurdities in the Bible. So, two wrongs make a right? Because the Romans killed Jesus, Yahweh in the OT...

This is utter bull poopoo. As I've said before, Yahweh should never be justified in acting the way he did, but surely you concede that this very moment there exist people who have committed/are committing terribly heinous crimes -- where are the she-bears? Why do 42 little children warrant being...

Again, nothing justifies the use of violence, be they small children or not, by a both omnipotent and omnibenevolent god. So often today do we here the chime "Violence is not the answer!" Yet God, because one of his prophets gets called a "baldhead", feels it appropriate to rip 42 small children...

Absolutely none of this justifies the use of mortal violence upon 42 small children by an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God. As for the "young men" explanation, I offer you this:

Looking at Mohammud does not justify the ways of Yahweh...let's not try to divert attention, eh? Regardless, I will never bow down to a God that would condone such a despicable act. This just goes to show that with Christianity, morality is non-existant -- if God says somethings ok, it is, be...

This justifies the slaughter of 42 small children? Because this man was a prophet? That's absolutely disgusting, I'm sorry.

Can someone please justify this to me? How can such an occurance ever be justified? If I were to walk down the street, be insulted by kids, and proceed to slit all of their throats, would God smile upon me? Why isn't this kind of filth taught in Sunday school to Kindergarteners? Please, attempt...

I've actually never heard of this documentary hypothesis of which you speak. Any information you could give me would be great! Thanks TastyWheat.

Wow, you're a moron. I hope you're incapable of reproducing. What was there before the Big Bang? Matter and energy, as always. Why are we here? If you're searching for purpose, I'm not sure you'll find it besides that which you assign to yourself. If you're asking for an explanation, get a...

And this is different from all the texts of the Bible how...?

Miscellaneous, I'm going to put this simply. If you refuse to even consider the possibility of the Bible's inadequacy, you are simply not worth talking to. That's not an insult, that's simply a fact - any discussion between us will remain forever fruitless.

Have you ever thought that some preachers have become atheists? Let's not appeal to authorities.

Atown -- here's a short list. http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/short.html Some other Christian on here said he was going to address all of them, but I have yet to see him do it. Here's a much larger list of contradictions: http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/index.html...
