God of the Bible is evil

I will like to respond to the points he has given by just identifying the numbers instead of writing out the entire sentence so that I can save space and time. 1.) Free will is a poor excuse to use when trying defend God for allowing men to corrupt his word so badly. You agree that the universe was created by this being correct? You believe that everything on this earth, including man, was created by God, correct? If God, as I've mentioned before (Isaiah 40:26) has unlimited power in reality the bible should be reflected of that, wouldn't you not agree? This all powerful deity who is able to create powerful things such as the sun, but can't make his book be completely awe inspiring to the point where there's no question it came from him, is inconsistent with the belief that he's all-powerful, all-knowledgeable, and perfect. It simply doesn't make sense that he wasn't able to keep something that simple perfect. 2.) Even though the men were jealous, sexist, greedy, and racist men, that should even put into question as to why would God allow them to be the writers of the most important message that God is supposed to bestow among mankind. 3.) The example, even though appalling, isn't by definition hurting anyone, not even the animal, so this doesn't match up to the actual harm it is to a fellow human being who is treated as property. We've grown as a society this is true to understand what we know is harmful and in this case we understand the devalue of owning someone as property, how it can affect the individual who is mistreated both physically and mentally. Condoning the act of beating their slave almost to the point of their death yet not be held accountable for it is wrong in all accounts. Doing bodily harm to a fellow human is wrong and then passing them around as property is dehumanizing. For a deity that claims to be all-knowing and loving yet wasn't able to provide a simplistic principle to his supposed chosen people on how to treat their fellow man is inexcusable. * To debate on the issue of Free Will alone is a different debate entirely but I will leave a link that you can consider in reading to understand the philosophical argument against the supposed "free will". I will say this much, even if God does exist, especially the Judeo-Christian God, we in fact do not have free will seeing that the actions we do take have consequences or rewards under his rule. If he doesn't exist, than we are accountable only to ourselves and those to whom we live around with. We have true freedom in this case to what we want, but those decisions we can decide as a whole society as to what we deem to be good or evil based on trial and error and of course science and logic. * [A] 4.) Again, for God to allow his book to be changeable, allow humanity to ignore certain parts, keep certain parts, and then remove certain parts to fit the times, says a lot about the God who is incomplete. It seems we are going in a circle argument regarding the bible's usage. To put it simply I've taken a quote from a fellow atheist who said: "The bible is like a rose growing in manure, some stuff is pretty and nice, but most of it is surrounded by a pile of sh**." That should some up why I feel that the bible is not from a powerful deity but simply men who didn't understand the natural world around them and needed something to use as a basis in order to control the masses. 5.) I'm grateful that you didn't defend this or excuse this and understand this type of culture is the same that was practiced in ancient Israel. We don't need to go into the details again but again as mentioned my opponent isn't able to explain why God who is all-knowing, powerful beyond compare, wasn't able to guide his creation to understand simple things like the dangers of engaging sex with a minor, beating people, killing babies, destroying entire villages, but keep the virgin women as wives, as though they went willingly into the arms of their conquerors. 6.) I'm not going to go through the scriptures you've highlighted but I will like to inform my opponent, tell me taking some good suggestions from the bible and ignore the bad, different from doing the same with the following holy books: The Quran, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching, Dianetics, Adi Granth, and Vedas just to cover a few out there. These holy book indeed have some very evil passages but they do have some good which begs the question should we do the same with them? 7.) Now it's my turn to show a few more passages, even though there are numerous more evil scriptures throughout the bible I won't be able to cover all of them, but I'll provide the following sites that you can visit, and read all of them. [1] and [2] Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT - Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests Exodus 22:17 NAB - Kill witches. So Harry Potter magic exists? Leviticus 20:27 NAB - Kill fortune tellers. Even though they have been proven to be fakes by organizations like James Randi Foundation, killing them is a little too much punishment wouldn't you think so? Exodus 21:15 NAB - Death for hitting dad Leviticus 21:9 NAB - Death for fornication Nahum 2:2-10 NLT - Pillage and Plunder, ordered by God Zephaniah 1:7:18 NLT - God's Human Slaughter Fest James 5:14-15 ASV - Prayer, not proper medical attention, cures sickness? Judges 1:21-35 NLT - Murder and Slavery Judges 5:30-31 NAB - Rape and the Spoils of War Judith 9:3-4 NAB - God helped Murder, Plunder, and Slavery Romans 1:24-32 NLT - Infidels and Gays Should Die Numbers 16:27-35 NLT - God Kills Women and Children Ezekiel 26:7-14 NLT - City of Tyre is still in existence * I'll stop here because I don't want to take up too much of space on this round seeing we're limited on how many words that we can use. 8.) My opponent may seem that this metaphor is nonsensical but I've mentioned before that my opponent is only concentrating on the good of the passages that are contained in the bible, to which I'm not denying that there are, but that doesn't negate the issue that God of the bible is indeed evil. Just like the other holy books that are available contain some good points to consider, reading them shouldn't make us jump to the conclusion that those gods aren't evil, twisted, and demented. Case in point even the comic book of Spider-man, Uncle Ben gave a great point about power, but should we be quick to believe that there's a teenager with a mutated gene that allows him to have abilities of a spider and swinging around Manhattan? My opponent is simply defending a deity that is down right evil, he even states that he creates evil - Isaiah 45:7 My opponent's quote regarding perfection is truly correct, but that doesn't explain away as to why God who is described as being perfect and powerful could not keep the most important thing consistent and inexcusable. As an illustration, an old Kenyan woman sends an email to her family in California. They receive it, there is no lost in translation, they aren't having a hard time understanding her message, it plainly says "I love you and miss you" in their language. If an 80 year woman can do this electronically, how difficult is it for the supposed powerful God you worship? [A] http://www.informationphilosopher.com... [1] http://www.evilbible.com...
