Debate: To Hell or to Heaven?????
Side: Heaven

The wanton slaughter of every first-born male in Egypt.No actually, only the ones who didn't put the lamb's blood on their door. Expression of subconscious doubts and beliefs; akin to dreaming but with a fixation on mortality.That may or may not be true. Most people tend to see the EXACT same thing, but approach the afterlife in a different way.I notice that you were unable to mount a counter-argument.Not unable, only I couldn't say I've read the Bible. I've read a lot of the Bible, but I haven't read the whole thing.You should know, having read the Bible. Oh wait, you didn't... Before.Facepalms I know the answer. I wasn't asking because I didn't know, I was asking to you if YOU knew. So your God condemned everybody who lived before Christ to eternal damnation because he was remiss in his duty to provide a line of salvation? Unbelievable for a supposedly omnipotent being.I agree there 100%. That's exactly what didn't happen. Even though (according to you) I haven't read the Bible, people used to sacrifice lambs and cattle, which can't sin. Ridiculous statement. Location is meaningless for an omnipresent force.Yes... and no. God is aware of everything that happens around us, but it's up to us to look after ourselves. If a tsunami hits an island, God (through us) will help with fundraisers and charity events. He could solve the problem in the blink of an eye. Ask yourself; what rational being would not, if it had the power?You see, that's what Heaven is, and that's why it doesn't have all the problems earth does. If the people where demons, they were evil. As people were made in Gods's image and were God's work, it is logical to conclude that God can be and is evil.You're right there, if God actually were killing Humans. But we all know that the Nephilim weren't made in God's image yet were actually given a chance to live.The guillotine is force whether the victim fears it or not.Hell is for people who sin and don't repent, so if you have EVER sinned, you deserve Hell. But if you can be redeemed and saved, I'd take that wouldn't you?Irrelevant. The effect of the matter is the same.No, actually. Telling someone to debase oneself is telling them to do a particular action. Telling someone to release slaves is telling them to stop doing a particular action. I don't see how telling someone to release slaves is like threatening to rape them.But you wouldn't spray it with your family inside, would you? Certainly! I'd get them out of the house/teach them how to build an ark.Yes. That would be obvious to anybody with a brain.So forcing murderers to build roads is slavery, is slavery actually unjust? That is irrelevant, but already answered. The matter the references were concerned with was the conduct of Christians being like what one would expect from demons. Besides, the crusades were papal-endorsed. As God's representative on Earth, the pope's will is God's will. Thus God condoned the slaughter.The pope is NOT God's representative on earth! He's head of the catholic church, yes, but still human and still liable to sinning. So... no. God condoned none of those slaughters, a man did. God's perfect, but humanity isn't. We are made in God's image, like angels were made pure, but we are able to sin and angels are able to fall. Oh by the way, I was wrong before when I said you misunderstood me, I thought it was a different question. :P Oh well!
