The Christian God is Immoral

RulesI am okay with a drop resulting in a 7 point loss. I don't think I will have to forfeit a round. It is probably best not to make any new arguments last round, I suppose. But, can I make new arguments seeing as how you can respond to me?Anyway, if someone breaks a rule, the voters should just be reasonable. For example, if someone introduces a new argument, just ignore the argument. just be reasonable. No need for a 7 point loss just for breaking a rule.The 10th Plague At first glance it seems that God caused all Egyptian first borns to die. However, this is not the case. Moses says “This is what the Lord says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. 5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.[1]It seems clear that God killed firstborns, however he did not. Lets get some context. The Egyptians were using the Israelis as slaves and treating them poorly. Since God is moral, he obviously did not want this to happen. God wanted the slaves to go free. The 10 plagues were naturally happening anyway. God/Moses just took credit for them to "scare" the Egyptians into letting them free. The Israelis won their freedom without a fight. A very moral thing to do. [2]The 10th plauge could be caused by food pollution (locusts or black mold). First borns were given priority, making them more likely to die. Israelites ate quickly prepared food, so were not as affected. Also, first borns often were given the priveledge of sleeping closer to the floor. This could cause them to die of toxic gasses.[2]It is unlikely God directly acted to cause the plagues. In modern day, there are very view instances of reported miracles/acts of God. Most natural explanations. There is little reason to think that God directly caused all firstborns to die. However, God knew that if Moses claims that God is responsible, the Egyptians will let the Israelites free. And it worked. They won freedom without a fight. Much like Ghandi [3]. And Ghandi is considered a very moral person. SlaveryThere are rules for holding slaves in the Bible. This makes it seem like God is pro-slavery. However, this is not the case. God is against slavery. But, God would rather have people treat slaves well then not. These rules have to do with treating slaves well. For example, giving slaves freedom after 6 years, his wife can go with him, he can stay with his family, care for female slaves.You may say "Well, why did God just say, no slaves at all". This is a good question. You see, God likes humans to morally reason things for themselves. However, in this case God gave humans a little bit of guidance to treat slaves better. This guidance was interpreted into the Bible. God is very proud of the humans that helped abolish slavery. God likes when people know things without having to be told.Samuel and SaulAt first glance it seems the request from God is immoral. Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” However, it is not.The bible describes the Amalekites as extremely evil people that are enemies of God. The Amalekites were cruel and cowardly [4]. Nazis are compared to Amalekite [5]. Amalekites had to go. They were extremely evil. While God wanted all Amalekites to go, this did NOT mean that all children/women must be killed. By "put to death" God meant that the Amalekite ideology must be changed. It is a metephor. Furthermore, God removes Saul from leadership after the war. Saul is war hungry. Saul does not fight for moral reasons. Saul plunders the valuables of the Amalakites and takes the Amalakite King prisoner. Saul feels powerful having the Amal King as prisoner. The Amalakite king is most responsible for evil and deserving of death,yet Saul does not kill him. Saul fought to "be powerful" instead of Justice. So, God removed Saul as King. God only condones violence for moral reasons. [6]You may say that some innocents died in the War. Innocents die in every war. Innocents died to defeat the Nazis. God does not like this. However, God rewards the innocents with heaven.Evil Bible VersesThe Bible cannot be taken literally. The Bible was inspired by God, but written by men. It also has been translated many many times. Things like "put to death" usually just mean something is generally bad. A lot of it probably did not happen or has been exagerated. It is important to have a spiritual relationship with God to help guide you. Not just the Bible. I can't defend all the verses (not enough room), but if you want to highlight a few, I would be happy to defend them.The Bible describes God as good and loving.By definition the Christian God is all good. God has not taken an immoral action. All his actions have been justified.The general consensus among Christians is that God is all good.While churches disagree on many things. They all agree that God is all good. The Churches are experts at describing God, and one of the most fundamental characteristics of Christianity is that God is all good.God does good things for mankindIt is good that God created us, so we can enjoy life. If God did not create us, humanity would not have existed. My opponents definition of moral is, Moral- An action is moral if it benefits humanity. Creating life clearlt benefits humanity because it would not have existed otherwise.Enternal life is great because it is very enjoyable. All pain, suffering, and tears will absent there (Rev. 21:4).Heaven is a enjoyable place where we can look down on the world. [7] Heaven is good because it is enjoyable. Enjoyable things benefit humanity. So heaven is good for humanity.ConclusionMy opponent claims that God has commited immoral acts. However, he misinterprets the scripture. God did not cause the plaugues, Moses took credit for them to win freedom without bloodshed. God opposes slavery, yet sent a message telling people to treat slaves well. The Amalakites were evil and had to be defeated. However, God did NOt want innocents to die. Any innocents that died get heaven. While some bible passages sound evil, they are not. It is important to interpret correctly.By definition, God is all Good.He is described this way by scripture, divine feelings, prophets and churches. There are many disagreementsabout Christianity, however it is clear that God is all good. God created mankind and gave us enternal life. http://www.biblegateway.com...http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://prorege-forum.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.biblegateway.com... http://en.wikipedia.org...(Christianity)
