The Bible/Yahwey are the source of Morality

That's fine, it could only have helped me :). I'm not sure I understand this statement "The religion of Christianity(following of Jesus and his teachings) and it's formal teaching(the Bible itself) came after God created Earth and all the people who came before said people, so I am not shocked that the teaching of the golden rule would have come before the the establishment of Christianity itself." How could you not be shocked? Before people were taught about God and his rules, they were following his rules? How can that possibly make sense? Killing in the BibleIt's nearly impossible, but apparently still possible, so try it for a minute. If someone told you Hitler or Stalin did these things, you would be appalled, yet if God does it, it's fine? "It's unfortunate that children died, but sin is sin, and their has to be consequences that accompany." You can tell that children dying is bad, so you don't get your morals from God, since He thinks that killing children is okay. Sodom and GomorrahI'm glad you liked it, and especially that you agreed with me, but you could not be more wrong about God's benevolence. Before he "bargained" with Abraham, he knew how many righteous men that there were in the city (notice how he only factors men, not women), so any bargaining would make no sense, sense he knows the lowest that he can go, and how far Abraham would try to make him go. "Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt but not exactly for the mere "heinous crime, of looking over her shoulder" but for disobeying the orders of the angels...by looking over her shoulder". Not sure where I went wrong here, she wasn't supposed to look over her shoulder, and she did, therefore she deserved to die, right? That's what God says, but any sensible being would know that that is ridiculous. "God didn't want the evil in these to cities to spread to the rest of the Jews, and to give a loose analogy, it's like cancer." What happened to free will? "Planning"Do you or do you not believe that God knows what you will choose? If you do, then you have no choice. If you don't, then you question his omniscience, case closed. SatanHow do you know this? Isaiah 14:12-14 does not say once that God didn't have a plan for Satan. As with the "planning", if God didn't know what Satan would do, then he is not omniscient. SlaveryThis truly made me laugh aloud. To begin with, this part of Galatians is talking specifically about the Jews, not everyone. Also, Hebrews 13:8 says that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." So if God never changes, and the Bible is his words, then his teachings never change. Or else that would mean he changed his mind, and is therefore not perfect. Women" In the times before Jesus, it is understandable to see how they were perceived as lesser beings and therefore plunders of war." Why is this understandable? " but as the Bible progressed, so did it's teachings on the status of women" See ↑. "God could've kept the virgin's in the idea of keeping who was left "pure"." Then why not ask for those who have not sinned? Why ask for virgins? If I want to know if a woman is nice, I don't ask if she is a virgin, I ask if she has committed crimes. (well, I wouldn't ask that, but you get the idea). AnimalsWould you site where the Bible says to treat animals respectfully? Also, you never answered why animals have morals that can never learn about God or read the Bible. Disproving God"Disproving God doesn't erase all the teaching set forth on humanity because to disprove something, something must be there to disprove." Really? Unicorns are real. They can fly, and they have no wings (or any other flying mechanism). They must exist even though that is absurd. If you disprove this, they still must exist because you tried to disprove them. "People get morals from God and the Bible, but it doesn't have to be a direct feed from the Bible straight to someone. This could be from a teacher who has religious background teaching kids some ideas of morality that he/she derived from the Bible." What about people who have never heard of God? Places where the Bible has never reached, nobody was taught about God? Such as the times of Confucius. Man my fingers are tired after that. I really had fun debating with you, looking forward to the outcome of this.
