The God of the Bible is mostly evil

You have presented some pretty good arguments in your round. Good luck to you. Well of course first off most of my opponent's definitions are good and I'm not going to challenge any of them so that this does not become a definition debate. However I would like to point out that my opponent himself stated in his attributes of God that God was omnibenevolence. I will expand on this throughout my case. You are taking words in my mouth. According to the Biblical God, is just and all good. This does not mean that He is. The purpose of my debate is to take the characteristics of God, and prove that the God of the Bible is NOT God because he contradicts his very nature. Therefore, I have to prove that he does contradict his nature. Because "Jesus (who people claim is God) is the same yesterday, and today, and forever", we know that God is also unchangeable. When we are to examine at is evil we must examine morality. Morality seems simple enough and could be describe as good and evil and such. Yet, where do we get any authority to say that something is immoral. Not only that, we can see that morality CHANGES from one society to another. For example, in America it would be considered immoral to partake in cannibalism, however in a few African tribes, cannibalism is a way of life! Polygamy is illegal in the United States while throughout the middle-east the maximum wives you can have is four! And we can even see through time morality is altered. For example, a couple hundred years ago in the U. S. , it was perfectly fine to have slaves, now it is completely immoral! So if we can see that morality is relative to your time and location. Morality can be seen as subjective if it is based off of something subjective. For example, if I were to ask my opponent if it were wrong to kill, my opponent would most likely say yes! Yet, when he was asked why he wouldn't be able to answer because he has nothing absolute to base his morals off of. Therefore who is to say that anything is truly immoral? For thisis reason I negate the resolution. Resolved: The God of the Bible is mostly evil. If morality CHANGES from one society to another, we should have allowed the different genocides and should not be involved in Lybia or be involved with trying to humanize the barbarians. Therefore, you must also state that Hitler was right in the fact that he killed millions of Jews. Where do we get our morality? Well, it has evolved just like us! You can study the different cultures and see some sick laws that were in effect in the past--even that in the Bible.1 Contention: Assuming the Bible is true, the morality of the Bible is objective and my opponent has no base to make any moral statements. Now whether or not you believe in the Bible or not, if it is true then Christians have an objective stance on morality. Well, there are some "Morals" and "Family values" that are in the Bible that Christians would be appalled to keep. If you need some examples, I shall bring forth them in my next round. Here are 2 most important moral imperatives in the Bible. 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. [a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength. ’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. ’[c] There is no commandment greater than these. ”. http://www.biblegateway.com......;But how do we know if these moral imperatives are absolute? Well assuming the God of Christianity is real, then it is said throughout scripture that God is eternal, everlasting and does not change. Therefore the morality of Christians is based upon something that will never change, while most others base their morality on society and circumstance which is always changing. "I the LORD, do not change. " - Malachi 3:6. http://biblia.com...... "17 because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. " Hebrews 6:17-18. http://www.biblegateway.com......The whole point of this argument is that my opponent has no way of saying weather something is evil or not. Unless there is something absolute providing an objective moral standard, there is no reason to prefer one moral claim over another. You have ADMITED that the law of the Lord is PERFECT. Since it is PERFECT it cannot change. Let us look at a few verses. And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. Exodus 21:7-2Is this the type of morals you have? Should a father be allowed to even sell his daughter for any reason? I would hope the answer is no. "It was just referring to Israel. " If the law of the LORD is PERFECT as you claim, then how can a law (moral) in the Bible change from one place to another? Clearly, you are contradicting yourself if you say that. And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. Exodus 21:20-21 KJVIf you take this verse in context by reading the verses before and after, you'll clearly see that it is talking about a servant's (slave's) relationship to his master. Apparently, the servant is mere property and not human. Is this the type of morals you have? It was just applying to IsraelAgain, the law of the Lord is perfect. How can the law change from place to place? If it can, it is clearly not perfect because it can change. That was the old times, we no longer have to follow that! Several verses in the NT say otherwise. Again, if the Law of the Lord is perfect, how can it change it several thousand years? Clearly, if it can the law of the lord is not perfect! That is all for this round. Good luck to my opponent, and I thank you for your good conduct in the last round.
