Religion is a force of evil in the world.

Okay thanks for the debate.Firstly, I would like to point out that there are differnet sects of Christianity, so I will argue to defend it as a whole, not just a sect. "Everything He does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright He is!" (Deuteronomy 32:4)In the above Biblical verse we can see that everything that God does is fair and he does NOTHING wrong. So everything he does is for a purpose. "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (John5:24) This is what I believe my opponent is talking about when he condemns those against him. It is very simple and the evangellical belief that if you believe in God you can go to heaven. You see Jesus died for our sins and those who sin and repent are cleansed by what God has done on the cross. I would like to note that on the religious "rape" thing I A) find it offensive to associate a steroetype to a religion. That's like saying all blacks are theives (they're not, I'm just using this as an example). B) This is a crime in the face of the church and is forgivable IF God forgives you. God can punish you in Hell or pergatory for your sins. Some sects don't believe in Hell. Like the Morman church, they believe in 13 layers of heaven. You just get less and less as you get to lower levels. Kind of like a Donte's Inferno thing. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)Here you can see whether you like it or not God punishes EVERYONE. It's whether or not they accept God do they get rewarded. For example. Say you paid minimum wage. At the end the week you want paid, correct? If your boss doesn't pay you you'd be upset, because you have bills to pay and you've earned that money. Well you've sinned and you've earned death by doing these sins. Even if it's a little white lie. "By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear." (Hebrew 8:13)Here we can see that God has nullified the first Covenant by making the Second Covenant and this includes the Laws of Leviticus and thus Slavery and other things are nullified. (https://www.gci.org...) So you see, God has spoken out about these acts.For the Samuel verse you have to look at it's context. 1 Samuel 15:2 speaks about Amalykites attacks and attrocities on Israel, God's Chosen land. "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Exodius 34:15). Here we can see that God is that of a jealous God and isn't that of a kind and loving God that all make him out to be that justifies his actions as he wants people for himself as he is in a war with Satan for souls. This actually ties in with the story of Abraham and his son. You see God was testing Abraham and because he did what he was told, God spared his son and made his family the leaders of Israel. (https://www.biblegateway.com...)Since my opponent brought up morals let's define it, " concerning or relating to what is right and wrong in human behavior" (http://www.merriam-webster.com...) So we can see since the Bible points out what is right and wrong, people who read it have similiar moral values and the Bible thus has morals.With that I have refuted everything that my opponent has said and I hand it back over to my opponent.
