The bible is immoral

Right off the bat, you continue with your insults, non-sequiturs, and ad hominems. I don't want you to pull the entire Bible out, that's what I'm saying we cannot do in this space, you're not paying attention to my argument, and you follow up immediately with another unrelated jab at a god that you don't believe in. (You make an awful lot of claims that do not pertain to morality of the Bible, stick with the topic) If you make the claim that there is good in the Bible, even in the slightest, then either your the Bible cannot be 100% immoral, like you say, or you're immoral to think that good exists within its pages. You pose a self defeating argument and you attack me on a personal basis, leaving you wanting by your own standards. You follow up with more quotes from someone else...so many heavy handed quotes that you regurgitate, and it further proves my point that you don't formulate things on your own. If you formulate based on these extremist views of morality, then you have become jaded beyond any sort of seriousness in debate and it's effecting the debate, itself. I Think that Matt Dillahunty is a wonderful thinker, but his argument is based on the opposition holding a view that everything in the Bible is attributed to God and God alone, neglecting to take into account humanity as responsible for the text. When you say "This is you..", this is most certainly not me. I told you, in Round 3, "my goal is not to circumvent these things and if you want me to give you a rationale as to why those things listed are not immoral, I'm not going to do that, because it's not so simply and effectively done unless you are intellectually lazy or if you have a strong agenda going one way." So, your misused quote is meaningless and unrepresentative of what I'm saying. I didn't try to rectify morality about the things you've said. You misunderstand my position even when I've clearly stated it. I've seen your debates before and I want to preface what I say with this because I know you disagree: Most Christians, not all, believe that Christ is God in flesh, therefore he would be representative of God. So, when Jesus says to, "LOVE thy neighbor as thyself." (KJV) Most Christians, and the majority of Christians throughout the ages, at least Western Christianity, would say that any time Jesus spoke of love and peace, then God would speak of love. Even in the OT, we see in the Psalms that the poets write about God's love and guidance. (Ps 143: 8, Ps 63: 3, Ps 103:13) Not all of the Bible is rife with hate and anger, but you seem to want to see it that way. The problem with your argument here is that you count morality/immorality based on the number of verses that would be considered moral/immoral by a contemporary reader and render it all to God alone, ignoring the humanity that you say the goodness of the Bible comes from. You cherry pick in the same way that defenders of the faith do...you are a hypocrite. And when you end the questions with a backhanded frame like, "And bringing up only a few minute verses really in comparison to the galvanizing combustible engine, especially especially especially when YOUR GOD KNOWINGLY HATES CHILDREN and knowingly causes them pain and suffering does---not---count." It says that no matter what I bring up, it is insufficient to you, showing ignorance lack of wisdom; you are unwilling to budge if proven wrong, you don't want to change. I don't think that it's a "no brainer", because I don't proclaim to have the authority to preside over someone's fate in the same way that you do. Concerning what would happen to them after death, I don't purport to know anything about that particular fate either. You make bold claims about God and Christians, but you seem to know nothing about them at all. I'm curious about whether you've been hurt in the past by someone who was/is religious, that would explain your vapid argument and venomous words of extremes. You spew so much hatred and the argument has devolved into you hurling insults and simply regurgitation information from other atheists, I would argue anti-theists, and the only original content of yours is the insults, non-sequiturs, and ad hominems that don't make any sense. But again, you speak in extremes like "entirely", "100%", and "0%" yet you say that there is good in the Bible, but you then claim it is immoral. So is immorality good or is it bad, you overlap and contradict yourself; your original claim can no longer hold water. Again...a ham-fisted quote that does not belong. (The Richard Dawkins quote) Use your own rationale and the text that we're speaking about, not someone else's, it doesn't help you and it only makes you look bad. I'm sorry if I come off as harsh. Now, the problem with this is that you have made a black/white fallacy again, only giving me two choices when the issues are much more complex than a simple "yes" or "no". You may not be satisfied with my answer, that Christ came to fulfill the law, not to enforce it and there are a few issues about Jews and Gentiles that highlight this in the NT. Regardless of this, you may not be satisfied with my answer unless I entirely agree with your statement that, "the bible is immoral". I've also noticed that you only pull examples from the OT, not many from the NT, and I wonder why. The NT is the bedrock of the Christian tradition, and the OT tends to frame those beliefs in historical context, not theological context, so I'm curious. So, I don't think that those examples prove that the biblical god is inane and insane, but it goes back to my first point at the beginning of the thread, that it is subjective based on the reader. Finally, you assume and box in your opponent in a way that prevents them from giving you something that you can't respond to accurately. I wouldn't answer yes or no to any of those questions. It is much more complicated than that, and if I don't answer "yes" to any of those, I wonder what that makes me. You might have some sort of silly-chiding response, but it doesn't lessen what I'm saying; you are a poor debater and a hypocrite. You reduce and throw out what you don't agree with, making a fool of yourself. Again, I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but it's true. You post nothing of your own besides venomous insults, non-sequiturs, and ad hominems. You copy and paste other people's sayings that only agree with you, you block off anything that you disagree with, and you ignore points against you and say that your opponent is ignoring you. You are a hypocrite and quite the awful person for hurling insults that are ill-deserved. Your claim is not backed by your own work and your argument is vapid, lacking any sort of discourse. And you end it all, again, by regurgitating what you see; recycling someone else's material to make yourself look better. This debate is no longer a debate, but you simply insulting me and ignoring what I say. I apologize if I have sounded harsh, but this is no longer a debate...it's just you throwing a tantrum. Please...do better. P.S: You said that we have no use for the Bible. Based on that standard, we don't have a use for Shakespeare, do we chuck his work out as well? We also can't prove he existed either. You make weak arguments.
