Christianity produces a net benefit to society

"Christianity has had many people commit atrocities "under its flag"" Oh that"s absolutely 100% true. Yet strangely you decided to post this very unimportant debate. Why is that? I mean jeez, your god is far worse than Hitler, Mao, Hong Xiuquan, Pol Pot, Stalin, all serial killers, all rapists, all pedophiles, all torturers, all sodomizers etc etc etc combined. I mean jeez according to your bible, your god knowingly created them all. And if your god is a true god, in which we all know he isn"t, he would know BEFOREHAND all of their evil and hate a good sextillion of years before they would be committed. Oh yes I 100% agree with you" this SHOULD be self evident. "The point is the media would not think reporting a religious atrocity is newsworthy unless it had a level of significance." Well um gee. No. Mass murders are being committed every day now. Especially with guns. And because it virtually an everyday thing, things like these are getting ignored by the media. Especially where legal guns are plentiful in places like Chicago were pretty much anybody can shoot anybody. Now if someone were to commit an atrocity in a church, such as a mass shooting, let"s say 10 or more, oh boy would that gain national attention and the media would be all over it. Christian oppression? Are you serious? Your god is nothing but oppression. Have you even read you bible? Its nothing but oppression. Here"s just a few examples"Indeed as point blank stated god is far far far worse than Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hong Xiuquan combined. Here's some examples... 3,000 EX 32:27-28, 14,700 NU 16:49, 24,002 NU 25: 1-11, 12,000 JOS 8: 1-25, 10,000 JG 1:4, 120,000 JG 8:7-10, 42,000 JG 12:3-6, 1,000 JD 15:14-15, 3,000 JD 16:27-30, 25,101 JD 16:27-30, 1 SAM 4 34,002, 1 SAM 6:19 50,070, 2 SAM 8 65,850, 1 KI 20: 28-29 100,000, 1 KI 20: 30 27,000, KI 19 35 -37 185,000, 2 CHR 13 17-18 500,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 2 CHR 28:6 120,000, Esther 9:5-18 75,813 etc etc etc Yeah god is really so moral huh? There"s no such a thing as "love" within any genocide. Your god also truly hates children. Here's some prime examples... 2 Samuel 12:11-14 "From evilbible.com [The child dies seven days later.] This has got to be one of the sickest quotes of the Bible. God himself brings the completely innocent rape victims to the rapist. What kind of pathetic loser would do something so evil? And then he kills a child! This is sick, really sick!", Deuteronomy 2:34, Numbers 31:17-18, Leviticus 26:21-22 rob you of your children?, 1 Samuel 15:3, Hosea 13:16 "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." Wow. Such a nice gentle caring god. This book should clearly be read to children - correct? Slavery? Your god endorses slavery. The entire chapter of EX:21 proves this. Especially verses 20-21 which gives permission to beat slaves so if they don't die within a couple of days after the beatings, hey that's OK. Your christ also endorses slavery Luke 12: 47-48. "The main concepts taught by Jesus, the central focus of scripture, is how to live a more abundant life." Really? Would you care to rephrase that? Oh I get it by giving up you entire family, your siblings, your parents, ALL of your friends and loved ones Luke 14:26-33 you can live a more abundant life? NOPE. That's how EVERYBODY worsens their lives is to be entirely cut off from human contact. No exceptions. None. Especially when you cannot even prove that this christ figure even exists. You mention sooooo much on slavery and yet your god and christ fully endorses it + a whole lot more in today's society.
