The character of God in the Bible is essentially Adolph Hitler

I thank Torvald for his speedy response. On to the arguments.The Garden of EdenMy opponent assumes that since the Bible doesn't explicitly state Adam and Eve had daughters, that there were none. He forgets that the culture of Abraham's descendants tended to use Males for credibility, and often created long family trees based off of male predecessors. Females were hardly ever mentioned when describing family lines. And again, Cain was banished for murdering his brother! He wasn't outcast because of skin color, physical figure, the color of his armpit hair, or any other reason.God gave humans the ability to choose not to serve Him. He didn't give them the desire to do so. As to God creating Lucifer. Yes, He did that. He also gave the angels free will we see, because Lucifer turned on God, trying to take His throne. God knew what would happen, yes. But He also knew that if He gave us any less free will we would be robots, programmed to serve Him. Lucifer also made his choice, and tried to take Adam and Eve with him. In a sense, he succeeded. Saying God caused them to sin is like someone creating a Lego model, and being held responsilbe for all injuries of someone who placed the model on the floor and stepped on it.Elitism is the link that my opponent gives. It does not hold up. I showed how God didn't "favor" any human. My opponent would rather assume that God created a second woman (without the Bible mentioning it) than that Cain had a sister of natural birth. Also, yes, God created Lucifer and the tree. He knew what would happen. But if we are operating in a Biblical context, He's also a perfect and righteous God. That was humanity's test, and we failed. But He offers us salvation... sounds pretty benevolent to me.Noah's ArkIn my opponent's passages (which I'd appreciate if he mentioned which version that was from) that he brought up, he claims that since Noah "found favor in the eyes of the Lord", he must have persuaded Him somehow.However, it never states Noah had to do any persuading to save his own skin. In other versions, that entire verses is left out, and it is merely stated that Noah was a righteous man, so God told Noah to build an ark to save mankind. (Yes, I'm paraphrasing) There is no way one can logically conclude that Noah had to bargain with God for safety. And it would be in direct contradiction with God's character as established in the Bible.As for the warning, we are operating under the assumption that the Bible is true. We must, if we are to debate whether the Biblical God is akin to Hitler, correct? Therefore, since God is Omnipotent and Omniscient, must assume that God knew that they would not accept the warning. He gave it, just to give them the chance, but God knew ahead of time that, no matter what, they wouldn't accept. Also, for the size of a boat like the ark, and a man and his three sons working on it, I'm sure it took some time. Also considering the concentrated presence of one group of people, (since the tower of babel hadn't happened yet) it would be safe to assume that Noah lived where practically everyone else lived. In the end, God's nature, the time, and the concentration of people, provide a high probablility for the world's population being warned.I will address the "one race" argument later in my speech.JobMy opponent need not have any qualms about my knowledge of Hitler. Having studied WW2 and the events surrounding it quite thoroughly, I think I have a good grasp on how evil this man was. Likewise, I am also aware of the expirements performed on his captives.In addressing my opponent's earlier statement about Satan, I would like to state this. God made Lucifer to serve Him, Lucifer could choose what to do. God knew what he'd choose, but he made him because if he didn't... how could he ever love God or have God love him? Would you rather just live out a pre-scripted life than one of choice and freedom? My opponent seems to. Atheists often complain about how God sends people to Hell, all while being told that God doesn't want them to go to Hell and they can go to heaven, instead. It's a choice that God gives to the people. Just like you don't keep your child in a box for their whole life to keep them safe, and just like you still have children, despite the fact that they're being born into an imperfect world. It's because of the good things that come if they choose to live right.Also, God gave Job the strength to get through it. God allowed Satan to test him, yes. And do I know why? No. But returning to my earlier statement. We muts operate under the assumption that God is who He is said to be in the Bible. He is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Holy, unlike Hitler. If this is true, God could only have been looking out for Job in this situation. Maybe God was preparing Job for a future event? I don't know. But we know, biblically, that God knows everything.Sodom and GomorrahSo my opponent would rather assume that Sodom and Gomorrah had surprise orgies, instead of assuming that these men were trying to rape the visitors. (Um... demands for sex? To the point of rioting at the door? Doesn't sound consensual to me...) Yet he refuses to believe that Lot was trying to protect these men from the very thing they were endagered by mere verses later. No. I say that it was probably known to Lot what the people of Soddom and Gomorrah were all about. He tried to protect the newcomers (who wanted to stay the night in the open) and protected them when the rioters demanded to, yes, rape the angels.Lot's personal shortcoming is of no consequence to this debate round. But personally, I don't think God would've asked that Lot give up his children to be raped instead. Lot is also previously established before this point as a man who struggles with fear and a lack of dependence on God.Again, my opponent tries to state that God is like Hitler because of His willingness to remove mass amounts of people. But not only is God's standard for righteousness perfect, unlike the imperfect Hitler, but God also was essentially declaring war on the people of Soddom due to their actions. Killings based off of actions is not genocide.Genocide- the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural grouphttp://www.merriam-webster.com...So not only is God destroying people based on actions, not allegiance, but He is also righteous when He does so, because the God of the Bible is Holy.Lady LovePoint was conceded by Pro, except for:Why did God use Jesus to save mankind?Ever since the beginning, God required sacrifice for the atonement of sins. Hence, Jesus. Essentially, faith in God's ability to save us is what saves us. However, God saved us through Jesus Christ. But even before Jesus, Abraham was credited as righteous due to his faith in God's power and promises.RevelationGod is creating a utopia for those that accept Him. He wants everyone to come. He is not punishing those who do not come by throwin them in Hell to "teach them a lesson". No. He has to put people in Hell because that is the only place where He is seperated from man. If you reject Him, He can't accept you. He's given humanity the choice.ConclusionMy opponent has basically fallen back to the argument of "God is like Hitler because He performed Genocide on those who didn't follow Him". I reiterate, once again, my previous statement. The God of the Bible, as per the resolution, is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Righteous in all He does. He, unlike Hitler, has a perfect standard. He, unlike Hitler, knows if men are beyond hope of redemption. He, unlike Hitler, actually has the power to offer those who follow Him a utopia. He, unlike Hitler, doesn't discriminate by race.If we are to argue the God of the Bible, my opponent has, unfortunately for him, already lost. The God of the Bible is a holy, perfect, and just God.I don't think we can say the same for Hitler...I relinquish the floor to my opponent.
