Belief in the word of the bible is incompatible with modern morality

"First, how many commandments do you want?! Does the Bible have to lay out everything that you must and must not do? If so, the book would be 1000s of pages longer." No just wondering about priorities. "Joshua 6: You"re saying that because a tribe attacked a city its genocide? I"m sorry, but that"s ridiculous. In that time, tribes attacked each other constantly. It"s called war. Israel was simply trying to retake their own land as all tribes did a that time." 'm sorry but "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and (debate.org will not allow me to use the word used to describe a donkey here and will not let me post the argument unless I remove it), with the edge of the sword." is not simply war it is genocide (the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.). In war the goal should be to win the war to to exterminate the other tribe entirely (even including children and animals) is not simply retribution and if you really think that that's justified what about the bosnian genocide? They were at war, was it moral for Ratko Mladic to kill tens of thousands simply because of a war? In fact I can go further what is instead of swords the Israelites used gas chambers? Why would that be any different? "Judges 19: The bible shows an instance of rape - does that mean that the bible explicitly sanctions it? No. Also, this is the verse right before the story of rape: "As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men,[a] surrounded the house and beat on the door." - Judges 19:22. Perverted men. These weren"t Christians. God didn"t sanction this. Perverted men and sin carried out this act. Please check your sources and don"t take the Bible out of context." Ok another clearer example is that of lot [1] while lot doesn't do the raping lot offers up his daughters to be raped to protect the angels. "Leviticus 25: You said that the Bible allows slavery. Here is Leviticus 25:39-43. These are the verses right before yours. The Law Concerning Slavery 39""And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave. 40"As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee. 41"And then he shall depart from you"he and his children with him"and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers. 42"For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43"You shall not rule over him with rigor, but you shall fear your God. This doesn"t look like God is sanctioning slavery to me" Again, please stop taking the Bible out of context!" This is the exact verse I was quoting from Leviticus 25:44-46 (this is the NIV if that makes any difference) "44 ""Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.". "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves." this is an endorsement of the worst kinds of slavery. "You did agree with what I said about most of the death penalty. The laws and rules have changed. Again, those laws were mainly for the Israelites, not for you and me. That"s why it"s called Mosaic law and not modern law. I do consider the laws to kill unbelievers and homosexuals immoral. That"s because they are ancient laws and not created for the present time. You need to understand this. The U.S. laws back in the 1800s weren"t moral either. So why can you let those laws go but not the Bible"s old laws?" Well I don't see why it would ever be moral to kill an unbeliever (though to be fair I'm quite biased in this regard). "Now back to slavery. I showed you clear verses that showed how fair and loving god was to slaves." "The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given."" [2] and that's directly from Jesus. "Still, old law is a valid argument. At that time, slavery was happening all over the world and continues to appear in several cases today. We both know that it"s bad thing, but all societies have done it, including ours. Why should you be so hard on the Israelites and not everyone else? The Bible is an old text with old laws. You need to understand that morality has changed and the Bible hasn"t. There will be outdated things and people need to accept that." Look I am explicitly targeting the bible because people still believe it that is why the debate was titled "Belief in the word of the bible is incompatible with modern morality" it is directed at those who believe the word of the bible. Also lets look a the story of Noah's flood. God sees people doing something she doesn't like [3]. God has a vision for the world where they are no longer doing those things she doesn't like [4]. God has a solution (a final solution) where those people are destroyed [5]. Now tell me the difference between Yahweh's flood and Hitlers holocaust. You also weren't able to put up any rebuttal to the genocide I mentioned at the end of my last argument ("There is a significant difference between american actions in WW2 and the Israelite actions in Canaan and that is: The Americans didn't wipe out entire cities or purposely kill children, the Israelites did this when they attacked Canaan "you must destroy them totally" [11]. Even if you think you can somehow justify the slaughter of the Canaanites there are so many other verses in the bible which call for genocide "you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock" [12], "Not a single person survived or escaped." [13], "They completely destroyed everything in it " men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, donkeys " everything" [14] "putting to the sword the inhabitants of the city, the livestock, and all they chanced upon." [15], "one hundred and eighty five thousand" [16], "Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach." (isn't this abortion) [17], " whose people were peaceful and secure. They attacked and killed all the people and burned the town to the ground." [18], "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin." (from the mouth of Yahweh) [19], "Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves." [20], "the city shall be taken, houses plundered" [21].") I'm not going to re-do the sources they are in my previous argument. "Finally, the mosaic law of the old testament was meant to be kept by the people until Christ came and rose again. Once Christ came, salvation was the only way to get to heaven. The mosaic law was terminated as soon as the Vail was torn." Matthew 5:17: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Deuteronomy 4:2: "Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you."
