Christianity is not real.

Again, I have limited time, so I will make my post short. I thank Con for his arguments and indeed it has been an enjoyable experience so far. I will now rebut Con's argument. Con stated that there "so few contradictions in the bible" and that this fact is "amazing". Obviously I could not list every single contradiction in the bible because there are just way too many to mention. If I did, I would be well over the word count. I would also just like to ask Con for examples of his statement where he says "extremely similar information about a person that nobody had a reason to believe in apart from being suicidal". I think it would be possible to understand what you are talking about if you gave a source for your words. Con also stated that my argument about cutting your limbs off if 'they sin' was not a contradiction, and stated that it could have been a metaphor. He also asked "who would be so mentally deluded to think that his foot can make him sin?" Well, Jesus did, in the case of the Bible. If, however, what you say is true and this was a metaphor, who's to say that the entire Bible isn't just one big metaphor, never meant to be followed word for word? There is no way to prove that or to prove that one passage about cutting off limbs was a metaphor either. Now onto my own argument. I will explain some more ungodly incidences in the bible, just to make sure Con knows there aren't only three instances in the entire Bible. 1. Human Sacrifice, and animal sacrifice too [1] "Take your son, your only son " yes, Isaac, whom you love so much " and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you." - Genesis 22:1-18 Wow. God is actually telling someone to sacrifice their son. For what reason? Later it was revealed it was just to test his fate - but he was told that by 'god' after he had tricked his son, made his son help him build the altar, tied his son down to the altar and held a knife to his throat. Has anyone ever considered how Isaac must have been feeling then? Terrified, nonetheless. Oh, and afterwards, god tells him to let Isaac go - and he asks him to sacrifice a ram instead. Animal cruelty! 2. General Immorality [1] "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." - Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT This is where Jesus says that women, if they are raped, must marry the man who raped her because they had relations to each other. He is obviously not at all taking into consideration how dangerous this could be for the woman. This is also very evident in the next quote: "If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife." - Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB So basically, here he is saying that if a man has relations with a woman who is already married, both of them should be stoned to death, even if it was in no way the woman's fault. How is this an act of a kind, just and fair God? 3. Slavery in the Bible [2] "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment."(Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) Nice. Well, this is what Jesus feels should be done to men's daughters. He is basically saying here that if a man sells his daughter as a slave, she cannot be freed after six years, like the men are 'allowed' to be; instead, if the man feels that he has not had her for long enough or feels he was not satisfied, he can keep her for even longer. Oh yeah, and also, he has not committed any sin as long as he has fed her, clothed her and satisfies her. Yep, that's definitely what a loving god would do! Would you like some more examples? Well here's one more, because I need to keep this short. If you would like any more, just go to my sources. 4. God is a jealous god - but he is good! (Apparently) [3] "The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies! The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He pursues his foes into the darkness of night." Nahum 1:2-8 NLT Here, this passage is suggesting that natural disasters are a result of god's wrath. The first line says that god is a jealous god, filled with vengeance and wrath. Then later, it says that the lord is good. How is this possible? First, let's think logically; if god is jealous and filled with vengeance and wrath, and creates huge thunderstorms and tsunamis and droughts to kill people...is that a good God? Is that a God you would want? So I end this debate on that note. Voters, I ask you - would you want a type of God that allows women, men and children to die? That allows people to die for absolutely no reason? That kills animals just because he feels like it? That kills people on purpose for no particular reason? That discriminates against different races? That discriminates against homosexuals? Thank you Con for accepting my debate, and it has been a great experience. Voters, now it is up to you.
