The Bible is repulsive

" God forgave these people time after time and he gave them a chance to repent, But they did not, So he enacted his promise for those that continually sin. " - God could have left these people alone. Instead, He annihilated all of them when some of the people were probably innocent. This is like if God would wipe out North Korea, Sure you would destroy the cruel dictators of the country but you'd also kill millions of innocent North Koreans. " Well, First of all, Why are you saying that women are exempt from punishment, But not men? " - I never said that you are putting words in my mouth. " They are just as equally responsible for their actions. Second, Children are being saved from a worse fate" Ok so then why couldn't God have moved the children to a better city, Or give them food and shelter. " The reason for the method of death is irrelevant. " - Really so you think torturing someone to death is equally as bad as shooting them quickly in the head? And yes the method of death is relevant, Even if you want to argue that the annihilation of these people was justified (which it isn't) God still didn't have to kill these innocent people in such a brutal way. "How incredibly ironic that the atheist, The agnostic, The skeptic, And the liberal all attempt to stand in judgment upon the ethical behavior of God when, If one embraces their position. . . . " - I have no interest in debating someone who is just going to quote someone else for their entire argument. This is a debate and using an entire quote with little to no analysis is lazy and is poor conduct. " Again, Read Judges 17. The priest who said that was appointed BY Micah in the house of IDOLS that MICAH created. The priest was not chosen by God. " - Please provide me a quote that proves that this priest wasn't appointed by God. Because in this quote he specifically states that the journey is approved by God. " They did try to counsel the child. This was given out precisely because the counseling didn't work:" - They did not have to stone him to death, They could have easily put him in jail or counsel him further. Also again you really think it's justified to stone to death disobedient teenagers? Even if they are disobedient they still are just teenagers and have a right to life. " Also, It is important to remember that the Mosaic Law was for God"s covenant people, Israel, Living in a theocracy. The Old Testament Law is not in force today (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23"25; Ephesians 2:15). " Please explain what makes the old testament not valid but the new testament more valid? Regardless of whether or not Jesus changed some words, This still doesn't excuse the fact that these are still Gods teachings. Besides the new testament STILL teaches horrible morals so let's go through them? "Women Should Shut Up in Church: 1st Corinthians 14:34 NASB" - This is a pure example of the blatant sexism exhibited in the Bible, And sexism is REPULSIVE. " Return Runaway Slaves to Their Owners: Philemon 1:12 The Message" - Slavery is a violation of human rights And helping the slave owners catch runaway slaves is almost as bad as owning them. Since the new testament preaches slavery, This makes the new testament REPULSIVE. " The Wealthy Will Be Condemned by God: James 5:1-5 NASB" - I currently am growing up in the California bay area which is arguably one of the richest areas's in the world, And I've learned through the first-hand experience that the majority of rich people are kind, Giving, And forgiving, While there are horrible rich people out there, The mere fact that the bible clumps all rich people into one negative category is almost as bad as racism or sexism. Which in and of itself, Is REPULSIVE. The bottom line is even if we buy this argument that the old testament is invalid, There are still many immoral messages in the new testament which make the new testament as well as the old testament, REPULSIVE.
