Debate: The bible is... illogical
Side: No! Completely Logical!

Are you serious? Having power over another being is outrageous!I am serious. No, it's not necessarily outrageous 100% of the time.So you are saying that it is right to own slaves and take their rights away from them?No, I never said that. I said that it's not necessarily wrong to hold power over someone. Why do you automatically equate that to slavery?Aren't people all equals and deserve the same rights as others?They do nowadays. Today, people can afford to be equal without horrible things happening to society.The same wasn't true thousands of years ago. Order had to be kept in different ways as to perpetuate their prosperity of the time.I'm glad we're so unified and technologically advanced now to avoid that though.Why do you sound like an immature kid that always says "You can't do that because you're a girl!!!"Why do you sound like a whiny feminist that always says, "You hate all women because you're a man!!!"What is it that makes you think that women are inferior?I don't think they're inferior. What makes you think that I said this?Are you just a sexist?I'm not. Are you just a sexist?Do you bear a grudge against women?I don't. I love my wife very much. She hasn't done anything for me to hate or dislike, and nor has her biology.Do you bear a grudge against men?You say that society is dangerous for women, but wasn't it just as dangerous for men as well?I said that society was dangerous for women. And yes, it was just as dangerous for men back then.The difference is that women bear children, which made them less expendable back then then men.What you fail to realize is the fact that ancient times had few powerful women because in ancient times, all powerful people died young, or, they made all other powerful people around them die young.Do you really wish that women had held such positions back then? You shouldn't. Men back then didn't, because they didn't want women, the bearers of our children, to be murdered or be murderers.I can guarantee that if they had held those positions, though, gender views would be no different today; only proportionally opposite.What you're supposed to do nowadays is share with everyone what makes you similar with them, no matter their race, religion, or gender.So far, all I see in you is a person who wants to label people based on what they believe and what their gender is. This is supported by the fact that you think I hate women or some stupid shit when I said nothing of the sort, nor gave the impression.You just wanted to read what you wanted to read, not what I actually said.The Bible just insulted the rights of women.The Bible gave a logical guide of metaphors for people of the time. Apparently you are incapable of understanding things without applying your modern viewpoint to everything, even if that thing you're applying it to has nothing to do with the modern era.They made Eve the sinner and transgressor for a reason- because they loathe women, not because of protection.It's a creation story. It's the only story in all of mythology that perpetuates bullshit. Every creation story of a fairy tale meant to stop people from being unproductive idiots who ask questions about the universe as opposed to hunting and gathering like they should be.The fact that the creation story of the Bible is so ridiculous shows exactly how devoted it's author(s) was to shutting people up and getting them back to work.What makes you think I take everything in the bible literally?Nothing does. I never said that you do.I understand what metaphors are but some things in the bible take it too far, like prejudice and discrimination.Prejudice and discrimination were sometimes necessary back then. I don't like them, but we wouldn't be here today if our ancient ancestors hadn't acted like they did in the Bible and other ancient scriptures.I will not stand for slavery and sexism and I have enough of people who try to sugar coat it with reassuring lies as they hold on blindly to their beliefs.Neither will I. Not today I won't. I can't really do anything thought about stuff that happened in the past and was then paraphrased in a book.Why do you try to protect the fictitious writers of the past who are not without evil and prejudiceI never said they were without evil. The problem is, you don't know if they were without prejudice or not because you don't understand what it was like to live in an ancient society.I know that the bible tries to spread a message of peace and love but it does so with lies.Metaphors are not lies. They are metaphors. The only reason you can consider them lies today is because we aren't the audience the Bible intended.I am not here to debate about the bible's flawed teachings and morals of life, I am here to debate the existence of God.Well it's too late, you're debating about something that has nothing to do with a monotheistic deity.Now I'm regretting the name of this debate.I'm sorry that you are.I only wish to highlight and inform the hard-head Christians that their bible is embarrassingly and terribly flawed that it's no longer funny, and I only want truth.The truth is that you're just as prejudiced against the Bible as Christians are for the Bible. You may want to rethink your approach to finding 'the truth'.
