God is against gay marriage. God hates homosexuals. According to god, they should be put to death.

>>Well I thought that the bible is the word of god.<< It contains the word of God, but it is not solely the word of God. Only fundamentalists will tell you that every word in the bible was spoken from God, and they are the minority of the Christian religion, and not the side I'm arguing for. God allowed people to add what they though necessary, whether it be a story of creation (God didn't happen to tell people how he created the universe, so they had to make something up since that's expected info in a holy book), or manmade laws (God gives mankind most of the control on what goes on here on earth). God does not need to punish people here on earth, since he can justly reward or punish accordingly once we die. However, he knew that people would respect the human authority's laws more if they were written in the bible, so he did not stop them from adding whatever laws they felt necessary. >>So please dont say is not literally the words of god, because to believers thats what they believe.<< Whatever people do believe this (fundies) are wrong. Unless you're willing to argue for the biblical story of creation or a literally 'worldwide' flood, accept that if the bible is the word of god, it is not word for word truth. >>Homosexual acts are an abomination to God. 18:22<< http://www.biblegateway.com...; No mention of god. any translation that includes god there is falsely translating. Again, this is a statement written by a human author. >>If a man has sex with another man, kill them both. 20:13<< A human law. >>You said that god loves everyone, well according to the bible he doesnt, please prove me other wise.<< He never says he dislikes anyone, and he promotes the idea of loving everyone. I find it therefore likely that he himself loves everyone. You are the one making a claim that he 'hates' homosexuals, when he never says so. So please, _prove yourself right_. >>According to this all loving god, we should kill other human beings, women should be property of men, slavery is ok if the slaves come from other nations.<< Some of that is human law, none of that shows that god does not love us. An now for your bible verses, very few of which are relevant in the least to the topic at hand: >>Genesis 4:8<< God's not even the one doing the killing here. You can do better. This shows nothing bad of God. >>Genesis 6:7, 17<< If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Also, he didn't literally kill off everything, the authors just wanted to make it sound more badass. Even if he did though, have you never thrown something away that you cared about? Also, since our lives don't end when we die, he is committing no injustice towards us. we simply reach the afterlife as we normally would, to be judged fairly by God. >>Genesis 7:4<< Maybe it's fun for him, like hunting is for us. You never know. Either way, it's irrelevant to the debate topic. >>Genesis 7:21-23<< Already explained this, see 6:7, 17. >>Genesis 15:9-10<< Needless? If God wanted it, it was not needless. If killing an ant made you happy, you would hopefully do it. God's happiness is worth more than an insignificant mortal life. >>Genesis 16:6<< No mention of God. Abraham was not supposed to be perfect, neither was Sarai. >>Lot offering his two daughters<< Lot was a good person. Perhaps this was not his best act, but it is not too hard to explain. First, he was valuing God's angels above the lives of his daughters. It was out of love for God and his angels that Lot was willing to make such a sacrifice. Also, he did not urge them to rape his daughters: in fact, he urged them to do what they thought was good. Perhaps Lot was simply aloof, not realizing that the mob probably would have seen it fit to rape his daughters. Either way, people make mistakes. >>Genesis 19:24<< God slew the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah as a message to humanity. It is obvious that the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were largely immoral and a threat to human society. From the previous verse we see that they formed a mob with the intent to rape Lot's guests! He knew that humanity would not be able to cure itself of this infection on its own, so he took matters in his own hands. >>Genesis 19:26<< She was warned. She openly disobeyed God, and this was the only way for God to show Lot that she too should have been left behind, without Lot harboring any anger towards God for it. >>Genesis 20:3-7<< Sometimes threats are needed to get results. He simply was asking that he return his wife to her real husband. He did, so God didn't have to kill him for disobeying. >>Genesis 21:10-14<< He doesn't send them out to die, he is in fact guaranteed by God that Ishmael will father a nation. >>Genesis 22:2-13<< God was simply testing Abraham. He would not have let Abraham actually kill his son, he simply needed Abraham to realize that God was more important than anything in the world. Also, you say only an evil god would ask such a thing - you are wrong. There is nothing wrong with what God did. He did not force a man to kill his own son, nor would he have let him. Also, Abraham was not a bad father, he was just more devoted to God than he was to his son. >>Genesis 34:1-31<< No mention of God. >>Genesis 35:5<< Sounds spooky. Without context, I'm not going to address it, since that statement says nothing in itself. Terror is not always evil. >>Genesis 38:7<< If the bible doesn't say, why do you expect me to know? >>Genesis 38:8-10<< He slew Onan for disobeying him. God told him _specifically_ to have a kid. http://www.biblegateway.com...; >>Genesis 38:24<< No mention of god. If you're going to use Skeptic's Annotated Bible, at least just take the relevant stuff. And you're copying directly from it. Don't have an argument of your own? Just throw a bunch of irrelevant verses from SAB at me! >>Genesis 40:19<< Same as above. After realizing how irrelevant those Genesis quotes were, as well as the fact that you didn't do any thinking on your own and just used the Skeptics Annotated Bible, I'm not going to address the Exodus quotes. Next time, don't throw irrelevant garbage at me, it only wastes my time and that of the readers.
