The Christian Religion is a Below Average Religion Morally

I disagree with your arguments entirely. I can discuss the ethical horrors that are in the Bible and the horrors which have been done by followers of Christianity. This is what makes Christianity; Christianity is the sum total of all it's constituent parts good and bad. Saying that we should ignore all the bad things which occur within the Bible and which have been done by Christians just because Jesus said to love your enemies once is like saying we should ignore a murderer if he admits that his murder was wrong at some point. You can pick out good things from the Bible rather easily, much of it is good, however much of it is awful. THE PROBLEMS WITH THE BIBLE: "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel." (1 Peter 2:18) You pointed out the Apostle Paul claiming that a passage in Genesis is allegory. Paul also says "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent" (1 Timothy 2:12). Paul also proves to be anti-homosexual (you can read about this in Romans 1). You also look to Jesus as the beacon of perfection in Christianity, citing his summary of scripture. It would perhaps interest you to know that there is considerable dirt on Jesus as well. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus says "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." He claims multiple times (Matthew 11, Mark 6, Luke 10) that if a city does not accept his teachings it will burn in hell. In Matthew 15, he calls a Caananite woman a dog. Jesus is a character who clearly approves of Jewish law and customs and clearly approves of all the acts God undertook in the Old Testament. Jesus was a product of his time and place. If you trust the Bible's quotations you must say that he accepted slavery, the wrath of god, and all the killings of the Old Testament. Furthermore, he almost certainly did not say 'love your enemy as yourself.' It is dubious as to whether or not he as a person ever existed but if he did indeed exist then the earliest biography we have of his life was written more than 40 years after his death by a man who did not witness any of the acts which Jesus undertook. We can say with great certainty that Jesus little to nothing of what he is purported to say. I'm not going to spend a great deal of time talking about the atrocities that take place in the Old Testament as they are so numerous. Slavery is allowed and at time encouraged, god kills thousands for complaining about his killings (Numbers 16), rape, murder, torture, all is allowed by god and all is accepted by Jesus. ' In Christianity neither your god nor your savior nor any of your believers are blameless. https://ffrf.org... http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com... THE PROBLEMS WITH BELIEVERS: There are many problems with most believers and I don't think most of these problems need to be spelled out, but to give objective proof of some of the ways in which Christians are morally worse than the rest of the population I'll give some examples. Christians objectively seem to be more violent. An ABC news poll found that in 2014 Christians were 28% more likely to support torture than non-Christians (http://religiondispatches.org...). Christians seem to objectively less accepting. A study in 2016 found that Christians are 46% less likely to support gay marriage than atheists, 38% less likely to support than Buddhists, 31% less likely than Jews, 24% less likely than Hindus, and on a whole 2% more likely than Muslims. Indeed, Christians seem to be essentially the least tolerant group in America. (http://reason.com...) Christians also seem the most likely to support general violence. Christians are 6% more likely to support the killing of civilians than Jews and 37% more likely than Muslims. (https://niskanencenter.org...). THE REASON MOST OTHER RELIGIONS ARE BETTER: Every major religion on this planet with the exception of Islam is better than Christianity. The Asian religions of Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism support peace almost exclusively. For these religions non-violence is the central tenet. Christianity cannot make the same claim. For two thousand years Christianity has been used to justify killings, slavery, persecution, and discrimination. It is certainly one of the worst moral systems ever created, both morally foolish and inconsistent enough to allow anyone to make of it what they will.
