The bible is repulsive

" Because you trust the old testament more than the new, I shall provide some evidence for the new testament. " - Alright, I'm really glad we can find common ground there because a lot of Christians seem to disregard Gods teachings in the old testament for no real good reason. " Since the New Testament documents were written within 30 years of the events they record, They are unlikely to be a legend. Eyewitnesses would still be around to correct errors, Exaggerations or outright mistakes. " - As I said, I don't disregard the entirety of the new testament, It's just that I would rather use the old testament as it is likely closer to Gods teachings than the New Testament is. Before I start my argument I would like to apologize if I mix anything up or take something out of context as I'm not exactly an expert on the bible. Anyways with all of that said I will now be my opening argument. For my argument I will be using direct quotes of the Bible followed by my analysis of this. On that note lets get started. "You shall acknowledge no God but me. . . . You are destroyed, Israel. . . . The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, Because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, Their pregnant women ripped open. " (Hosea 13:4, 9, 16 New International Version) - In this quote, God is destroying an entire town including women and children, Simply because they rebelled against him. Surely a loving and forgiving God would forgive the people of Samaria for rebelling against him? Furthermore massacring an entire town just because they don't believe in God is not the way to go about it, Instead of destroying them God could simply try again to save them. If they rebel again, Than God should just leave them alone and not kill them. " And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking a place of their own where they might settle Because they had not yet come into an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. . . . Then they said to [the priest], 'Please inquire of God to learn whether our journey will be successful. ' The priest answered them, 'Go in peace. Your journey has the Lord's approval. '. . . Then they took what Micah had made, And his priest, And went on to Laish, Against a people at peace and secure. They attacked them with the sword and burned down their city. . . . The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. " (Judges 18:1"28 NIV) - In this quote, God is once again destroying an entire people so that one of his tribes could live there, Even though the Tribe living there originally was peaceful and didn't want to harm anyone. "See, The day of the Lord is coming " a cruel day, With wrath and fierce anger. . . . I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty. . . . Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated. " (Isaiah 13:9"16 NIV) - In this quote God is saying that because this group of people was arrogant their infants should be put to death, Their houses should be looted, And their women raped. Once again God is wiping out an entire group of people simply because their arrogant which is once again REPULSIVE. These 3 quotes are just the tip of the iceberg, Other quotes in the bible state that women shouldn't have any authority or that disobedient teenager's should be stoned to death. While the Bible does have some good lessons to teach such as thou shall not kill, Thou shall not steal, Or love thy neighbor, The Bible overall is repulsive " Peace is the way, The truth, And the life. Love your neighbor as yourself, Even if they are sinners, For it is not healthy who need a doctor (as opposed to executor), But the sick. This is the word of God. " - I 100 % agree, I believe in peace and the truth which is why I am an advocate for vegetarianism and I want to become a lawyer so that I may bring justice in the legal system. However, I think the quotes above have proven that overall the Bible teaches immoral and repulsive lessons. - Also if you haven't noticed I copied and pasted my opening argument on my debate with kill shot here as I figured it would be a waste of time to type up a new argument when my past argument explained my points clearly and concise already.
