God is worse than Hitler

Thanks for the rebuttle Ok, I'll start with your last argument, the one about God "sending Jesus to do the dirty work". I think you should reconsider that one. I don't think you have kids, but I have to think that, if you did, you would die ten times before you had to stand by and watch them die. I know I would, and I know God would. I guarantee God would feel just as bad as you would if you had to watch your child be killed right in front of your eyes, probably worse. Now you might say "exactly, God could have done it himself, but he chose Jesus." If that's what you said then you would be mistaken. That's just not how it works. The trinity is pretty complex. Jesus is God, but he's different from God the Father. God the Father couldn't come down and be the sacrifice to himself. It just doesn't work like that. He did however make a decision much harder than that. He decide to send his son to die. His son was willing, but God made the bigger sacrifice. He sent his son to save people that hated and mocked him. That really shows something about his character, and you can't argue that. The next thing I'll talk about is your statement "Why did God make man evil and wicked in the first place? I thought he was the unquestionable genius behind everything. Why did he make a mistake?" Well the answer to your question is that he didn't make man evil, and He never makes mistakes. When God made man, He made them perfect and placed them in the Garden of Eden. God gave man free will. This means that they weren't robots controlled by him but that he would allow them to choose to love him, obey him, and trust him. Now, there were many fruit trees in the garden, and everything was perfect except for one tree that God told them not to eat from. Adam and Eve stayed in the garden for a long time and everything was perfect. Then one day they ate from the tree. They chose to disobey God and that was the first evil done in the world. God was forced to send them away from the Garden and his relationship was changed with man from that point on (Because He can't be around sin). Obviously God didn't force them to do that. He didn't create evil. He knew it was going to happen, but he still wanted to create humans, so he did. That's why he would later have to send his son to die for us. It's a lose lose for God. But He still did it. I'll move on to the statement "My opponent is saying that if you create something, then you have every right to do anything you want to it, including killing it, and yet you remain morally just and good. I do not understand this. Why does God tell humans not to kill their children? The children were made by the parents and thus we reach a contradiction." That's not true. First of all, the parents didn't create the children. The children were born through a natural process of nature. God created the world in the beginning and set the natural processes that we see today into motion. So the parents did not create the child. The next thing and the thing that I think is the biggest disconnect for you is this: Who decides morals? I know that mine will probably differ from yours slightly. There are things that people just know are wrong. Murder for instance. People just know that's wrong, there's no arguing it. But what about killing animals? Many people would say that it is wrong to kill animals, even for meat. Our morals would differ there. So who's right? I mean I think you could use common sense, but there is still a hazy zone in some areas. So, no human has perfect morals. God has perfect morals. He decides. Why? He created everything and has always been. You see, you can't even compare God to humans. God is all powerful, as stated by the Bible. God can see the future and therefore knows the scenarios of every situation possible. This allows him to make every decision perfectly. As humans, we don't have this ability. That is why God gave us the Bible. See some decisions can't be left up to humans because of their limited knowledge. God allows us to make some desicions but there are a few things that he gives us in the Bible to follow for our own good God doesn't just kill for no reason. The Egyptians were an evil people. God made the perfect decision in that scenario. He doesn't like to kill people, I promise you. But He does in some cases when it results in the best case scenario. We can't know what would've happened if God hadn't done what he did. That's why it's not up to us. Lastly, the fact is, that God created the world. The bible states as a fact, that if you don't believe in Christ, then you will go to hell. That' the way God made it. God can't be around sin. God loves everyone, but if they don't choose to accept his sacrifice for them, then they can't go to Heaven. It doesn't matter what we think, because we didn't create the whole uni God gives us every chance in the world to turn to him. He isn't asking anyone to do anything impossible, all he asks is that we accept his sacrifice. If we don't then we have to go to hell. If we do accept his sacrifice, then we will live with him in heaven forever. Thanks
