I actually met god in a dark back corner of a busy street

I see DDO's resident atheist has come forward with another thought-provoking debate-or several, actually. The way that this challenge is posed makes it difficult to narrow it down to a single, or a few, controlling points from which the debate revolves around. I counted twenty-nine separate questions in your initial challenge, which is twenty-eight too many to have a proper debate. The process was not easily accomplished, either; the way in which you write made it hard for me to understand what you were saying, and I fear it may pose a further problem as you attempt to defend your twenty-nine arguments. Bloated disputations notwithstanding, I will attempt to answer each of your questions to the best of my ability.Some rules first:1. After reading the comments section of this debate, I am concerned that I may not be treated with the proper respect that I, as your opponent and equal, deserve. You called user 2far4u2CharlesDarwin a "pathetic worthless piece of trash," for example, and I am sure there are more examples of ad hominem attacks in the various other atheist campaigns you wage against the evil Christians and their tyrant God. Therefore, I expect to be given respect and accommodation as your opponent. 2. Reliable sources. From your past debates, I have seen that you have a fondness of obscure and sensationalist YouTube videos of atheist affiliation and questionable validity. I will not accept these as credible sources, as they are too heavily biased. In fairness, I will abstain from using Christian sources of a similar flavor.3. In order to understand the Scriptures most literally, we will be using the English Standard Version of the Bible. As it is a literal Bible translation, lacking the flowery expressions of earlier translations such as the famous King James Version, it is both simple to read and beneficial towards our argument.With these three simple rules in mind, I will now begin the questions you asked to God in that back alley.1. "Why have you killed at least 2,821,364 in your bible which included babies, children and pregnant mothers all in one extremely small area of land in the world which all took place in your bible?"Your citation of 2,821,364 deaths is derived from this website: http://www.vocativ.com... a precise number in relation to the Bible is certainly false. This is because the death toll includes those who perished in the immolation of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as the deaths caused by the Great Flood and Plagues of Egypt. Casualties caused by such large-scale disasters are difficult, if not impossible, to specifically enumerate, especially considering that most of your 2.8 million deaths took place during the Old Testament. Also, you must be reminded that most (if not all) numbers from ancient sources are highly exaggerated. Now, as a Christian, I offer justification for these events, under the assumption that the three disasters I mentioned above (Sodom and Gomorrah, Great Flood, and Plagues of Egypt) constitute the vast majority of casualties listed on Vocativ. According to Scripture, the Israelites are God's chosen people, and thus God has a higher regard for them than for the other peoples. The Plagues were cast as God's retribution for the enslavement of his people; thus, in his eyes, they were justified. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah occurred because their "sin was very grave"; hence, in God's eyes, it was justified. (Genesis 18:20). The Great Flood occurred for the same reason. This latter event did not take place in one "extremely small area of the world"; it covered the whole earth, which God regarded as "filled with violence" and "corrupt." (Genesis 6:11-12). In two of the three cases, God smote the people because they had turned from his teaching. In this sense he was like a father disciplining his children, except it was exacted with fire and brimstone. The Plagues were God's reaction to the enslavement of his people, and were no worse than what the Israelites themselves were facing. 2. "Why did you wipe out pretty near 100% of all life in which there was no need for it as you have done in the great flood?" (Sic!)See above. 3. "Why do you hate gays and want to kill them?"God created man and woman for each other. The book of Genesis states that: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24). Eve was created from Adam, as a subordinate "helper" for him. (Genesis 2:18; 2:22). The reason that God believes homosexuality is so bad is because it is anathema to what he created in the Garden of Eden. The natural union of man and woman is separate from the unnatural union of man and man, or woman and woman. 4. "Why do you hate children?"God has no hate for children. The child is simply the junior form of the man. If God truly hated children, then he would have cursed both Cain and Abel, or for that matter precluded Adam from having children at all as his punishment for eating from the tree of knowledge. "Let the little children come to me," said Christ, "for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:13) Would a God that hated children allow this?5. "Why do you hate those that curse at their parents and you want to kill them?" (Sic!)God is the father of the human race. As is recorded in Scripture, there have been many, many times when humanity turned against him and rebelled. "Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me." (Isaiah 1:2)Thus, it makes sense that God opposes disrespect towards parents, as God himself is the great celestial father of a multitude of children who continued to spite him. I do not know that he wanted to kill them, though; I'll need proof for that.6. "Why do you hate those that do not worship you and you want to kill them?" (Sic!)For all practical reasons, the reason for this is the same as the reason for the above question. God created all humans, but not all humans worship him. Hate is a powerful word, misused here; the more correct word is "disappointment."Answering more of your questions will become tedious, and I simply don't have the time to continue on a point-by-point basis with you. We will either debate these six points, or others, or not at all, because what you have posed is too big of a question (or group of questions) to be answered in a single debate.
