Christianity is fundamentally immoral.

Reaction to opponent: I said many times in my last response that I respect how you are NOT of the normal Christians, and that you do have progressive attitudes towards many issues. However, this exception to the rule can not justify the vast majority of Christians. 1. I hate to say it, but what respect does the Catholic Church still hold. Mass pedophilia, corruption, ties to the mafia, money laundering, and hiring hit-men makes them an unreliable source in my eyes. And yes, these are all acts committed by members of the Catholic Church in the Vatican. And if you say that the Church and Jesus are inseparable, isn't that coveting a false idol? Pope Benedict XVI just came out two days ago and declared the Jews are exonerated for their role in the murder of Jesus Christ. What took the church 2,000 bloody years to finally concede that point. In my eyes, the Catholic Church is merely appeasing and conceding points which are so obviously inflammatory. This is hypocritical and is not the true word of God form the Bible. 2. You just called the Bible a "sufficiently large document of text". This is clearly a statement which devalues the Bible's legitimacy. The main claim by Christian's is that the Bible is not "just some book", but is the infallible word of God. Your statement points to the contradictory opposite. And you just admitted that Christianity is the latter of the two statements regarding the Bible, which is that it is interpretations and metaphors... this devalues the stance of absolute morality which is what most Christian's claim. 3. Please provide examples of God stepping in for assistance. Because I didn't see him stopping genocide, or rape, or murder, or disease, or famine, or nuclear war, or droughts. And please do not provide an example of a miracle, because I guarantee this miracle could be dispelled using chemistry, biology, physics, or psychology. 4. Your discussion of confession was not satisfactory, because it did not address my questions about only Christian's having the opportunity to reach purgatory. 5. Anonymous Christian does not possess any legitimate Christian merit. It is again merely a concession and accommodation to meet more modern standards or morality and intelligence. You may think that Pope has merit to change the Bible, and out of all Catholics, he undoubtedly does; but no human should be able to change the "word of God", as it has been called so frequently for the last 2,000 years. 6. You cannot defend the Church's stance on homosexuality. I applaud your efforts, but it is clearly stated as a sin. And a sin which cannot be "cleansed" in purgatory, because it is inherent nature, not a choice. 7. The fact that there is a lobby group for Christianity shows hypocrisy. Jesus was clearly a socialist, yet Christian's are using an immoral capitalist system to further their beliefs. How about instead of spending all that money for lobbying, how about they go to China and directly help the people? Foreign policy and diplomacy are much too slow to address these conditions. 8. Wait, so God wrote the creation story, but humans wrote the genesis stories? How can you say that with a straight face? Why would God sharply limit his involvement compared to the last billion years, if now is BY FAR the time when he is needed most? When genocide, war, murder, rape, starvation, drought, and hopelessness are at all time highs. Your Adam and Eve argument is counterintuitive and mute. They could have still procreated with eating from the tree of knowledge. They simply would have just not had suffering. And please look up "Lillith". She is Adam's first wife. Not known to many Christians, I'm sure. 9. Thank you for furthering my initial and most prevalent point, Christianity is fundamentally immoral. You may change and alter the book all you want, but you still can't cover up the obviously immoral points which I have previously stated. 10. I will concede that people can do good in the name of the Christ, but I just wish that they could do it for the sole reasons of humanitarianism and altruism, rather than "for God". Oh, and I have read the Bible twice in my life, so people in the comment section, do not call me an "ignorant atheist". I can almost guarantee the only Bible sections you have ever read are the one's pointed out to you from your pastor. I used to be a Christian, but I simply could not compartmentalize religion, and not use rational and intellectual thinking for that one section of my life. I wish I could be a Christian, but my brain simply won't let me. You are a very respectable debater, Christian, and intellectual, and I thank you for your time spent in this debate. I find your points very interesting, and far beyond the typical responses I get from my Christian friends.
