God, whether he exists or not, is not always right.

Counterpoint 1: Pro, here is a slight fact about the story of Moses that neither of us knew: God hardened Pharaoh's heart [1]. After that, it is presumable that after God wiped out Pharaoh's army, He softened his heart and he realized that is was a bad idea to keep so many slaves and later realized that Moses' God was he one true God and converted to Judaism. Counterpoint 2: My opponent argues: ". .. after death, you could no longer punish the person's physical body. " In hell, the soul is punished, not the body. You have not been to hell, so you do not know how valid your argument is, and I am very glad you have not been to hell. Counterpoint 3: My opponent argues: "The fact that the Christian God can beat Sobek has no proof. " Yes it does. The Christian God is immaterial and therefore Sobek could not even touch Him, therefore God would win. You yourself stated that Sobek had the "body of a crocodile. " "This has nothing to do with the topic. " Yes it does. It would add a fundamental difference to the story if the roles were reversed. Counterpoint 4: My opponent argues: "oh, I'm just going to make you slaves to some random stranger for 400 years to make you believe in me? " Actually, God was pre-punishing his children because He knew they would otherwise commit the sin of their ancestors: idolatry. He also knew that when they found themselves in heaven, all the hard work would be worth it to live for eternity with their loving father. Allowing them into heaven makes up for allowing them to spend their entire earthly lives as slaves, does it not? ". .. regarding the second chance at life. .. thing. .. You are. .. Saying that your point was invalid by saying that my point is invalid. So. .. Why did all the children have to die? " I will answer that question: What I am saying is that neither of our points on this have any evidence for, nor against them, so that is irrelevant to this debate. In case that was avoiding the question, the biggest reason was that so God could get the kids to change their minds into minds that held the correct information on how to get into the happy afterlife. Counterpoint 5: ". .. so only humans have to follow the rules God made and he doesn't? What kind of king is that? " Actually, God does follow His rules (mostly. ) How God follows commandment 1: He does not hold anything back from use he even sent Jesus to be crucified for the Romans, and for you and me alike, so that everyone could get into heaven more easily. How God follows commandment 2: He does not make graven images. How He follows commandment 3: He does not misuse our names. He may not follow commandment 4, but technically His work is not actually "work" in the natural sense of the word. He follows commandment 5 because he is respectful to everyone, so that should include our parents. In some Bibles, the sixth commandment says "thou shalt not murder. " I have demonstrated clearly that His "murders" are morally justifiable, and therefore executions rather than murders. He does not commit adultery at all because He is not lustful or married. When God takes things from people, it is not "stealing. " It is simply teaching them a lesson for placing powerless, material things above Him. He follows the ninth commandment by always doing what He says He will do. While He is a Jealous God, therefore breaking the tenth commandment, His jealousy is justifiable because He wants us to go to heaven and wants all of us. Counterpoint 6: "My opponent argues: ". .. How do you know that God is going to send Jesus to save you? That argument was based on a highly unlikely assumption and therefore invalid. " The reality, Pro, is that the return of Jesus is a future event, so you do not know it will not happen. After all, the future almost always holds something we do not see coming. That statement is applicable to plenty of things that have happened in my own life and yours too, I take it. Stephen Hawking also once said that "the Big Bang didn't need God. " But there is also a website called bigbangdidnthappen. org I have been to that slashes the atheist's Big Bang apart, so Hawking does not know that absolute disproof of the atheist's Big Bang is probably coming his way next time he googles, say, "the Big Bang didn't happen. " He is likely going to click on this website and find the irrefutable evidence that the Big Bang indeed needed God. Therefore, if Hawking does not yet know that he will find real evidence that the Big Bang needed God, then the same logic should be applicable to you because if Hawking thinks he will not find the website, then perhaps you are incorrect and Jesus really will come, because the same logic is applicable between the two of you. "Why are you admitting that the moon will crush into the sun and the world will end? Apparently, you either dropped my statement that it could be the same time Jesus comes, forgot about it, or simply misinterpreted it. I have already clearly shown that saying Jesus will return to Earth and admitting that the moon will crash into the sun one day are not entirely contradictory. Counterpoint 7: My opponent argues: ". .. even if God sent Christians a message during the World Wars that can save them but he should've predicted that his message wouldn't have been received. " There is still one other possibility, and that is the Christian citizens who were in the war zones were so scared of the war that hey forgot to trust God and relied on themselves to survive and were killed by enemy soldiers because they relied on themselves rather than God to escape the war zone with their lives.
