God is Evil

God freed the slaves in the book of Exodus for many reasons. One being that he cared for people (as he demonstrated in Genesis 21:10). I think it is a mistake to say that God only did these things because he favored the Israelites. The truth is that God helps those that follow him. My opponent then brings up the fact that God commands the people of Israel to destroy seven different nations. Each of these nations were very wicked and many of them sacrificed children to their false gods. And the statement my opponent made about there being no warning is nonsense. God always provided a time for the other nations to repent. In Genesis, God gave mankind 120 years to repent. The Canaanites (one of the seven nations mentioned) had 400 years to repent. But the problem was that none of these nations stopped their wicked ways and they had to be stopped. These evil nations were surrounded by Christians but they ignored everything that was said to them. And not only that, but these evil nations even started to be a bad influence on the Israelites. So, God was just in punishing these nations. A woman committing adultery and a man falsely accusing his soon to be wife as an adulterous are not even close to being the same thing. Adultery was punishable by death and a false accusation led to the accuser being whipped. My opponent then asks a few questions about proof of virginity and etc...I first encourage my opponent to look at this link: http://lavistachurchofchrist.org... There are a few things in there that I forgot about. A proof of the virginity was a cloth stained by the blood spilled when her hymen broke. But there also had to be 2-3 witnesses and they could also hear testimonies from doctors. So there were multiple things here that showed evidence of virginity. I would like to point out that all people have done something wrong and we have all have hurt someone in our life time. Yet...God still created the whole human race. Blame Hitler for what he did and not his creator. Also...I am curious to see if my opponent blames God for all the good things that happen in his/her life. Or does God only get credit for bad things that happen in their worldview? Either way, this is an emotional argument my opponent is using and he blames God for something another being did. This should not count as evidence for any God being evil. The child did have freewill. Knowing that something will happen doesn't mean that there is no freewill. The child was not forced to pick the ice cream. I don't understand why my opponent equivocates the words "knowing" and "forcing." As for the animals, I am not sure why my opponent started speaking of instincts. Animals died as a result of humans wickedness. God actually spared more animals than humans in the flood so I don't know why he/she has such an issue with this. As for the fish, the bible never says that the flood destroyed all the fish. But...that has nothing to do with the nature of God. Lastly, according to the human genome project, all people are apart of the same race. In other words, science has proved that we are all related. So my response to my opponent is that there were not the same genetic problems with marrying close relatives back in biblical times since the human race started off perfect (Adam and Eve). It wasn't until years later when there was genetic problems that developed. So nothing my opponent has brought up shows that the God is Evil.
