not surprising that you're an atheist Hank
Not at all. If I had to describe my spiritual views, I would use the term "agnostic Deist" (tm).

Awesome response. Tells me everything I ever needed to know about you and why I'm forced to read your wanna be smart posts. Goddamn, I remember you in school...

Curious statement. Can you cite your proof of the charge(s)?

Do you actually believe in God? (Creator of all things?) If so, did he also create everything that's "Good" as well?

Do you believe in the existence of His antithetical opposite Being -- aka Satan (or Devil)?

Isaiah 45:7 is pretty interesting:

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

is there really much difference between Satan worship and worship of “the one true god”? Also consider Jesus is LORD.

Did the Israelites deserve to be killed by God for worshipping God through the golden bull idol (before Moses even made them aware of that second commandment)?

This in particular seems especially unfair, given that the Canaanite god El (whose avatar was a bull) was the tribal god of Israel, before he changed his name to Yahweh and announced that statues would henceforth be against the rules.

In the first temple theology, one of the ways they worshipped YHWH (the LORD, who delivered them out of the hands of the Pharaoh) was with golden bull idols.

I realize this was after they began to conflate YHWH with El Elyon around the time of Josiah.

Reread Exodus 32. They didn’t make random gods, they made a golden calf idol that YHWH would inhabit. That’s the way they’d been doing it for YHWH for a couple hundred years and with EL for probably another couple thousand years.

In Exodus 32 right after they make the calf they dedicate it and a feast to the LORD YHWH who brought them out of Egypt. The calf was an idol of YHWH.

Yes it’s unfair YHWH killed most of them with making them kill each other and then inflicting them with a “very great plague” and making them grind up the golden calf and eat it. It’s unfair because they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong. Moses was still on the mountain and hadn’t brought the commandments to them. They were just worshipping YHWH the way they’d always done and they paid the price with their lives.

If you wish to be with the sky wizard you worship, don’t hesitate to join him. I’m praying you make the right decision. I’m gonna frick as many women as I can before I meet big daddy Satan.

Starting off with a personal attack when you are demonstrably ignorant of the Bible and Christian theology is a bold move.

Despite how you define murder, God kills shitloads of innocents including babies. I’m sure you will say God’s killings aren’t murder - that he is getting rid of the wicked.

---

Defining murder is critical to this discussion and your accusations. You can’t just skim over that and say that “despite how you define murder”; that’s the whole issue. If what God does when He takes a life isn’t murder, then how is it immoral? What standard are you using to say it is immoral?

Is it because the lives He takes are “innocent”? If so, what standard are you using to define who is and isn’t innocent, and why do you think God is under any obligation to abide by that standard and that He can’t take the lives of any of His creatures that He has made?

The Bible tells us that God is perfectly righteous. It tells us that God requires moral perfection from humans. It tells us that sin must be punished by God because He is just. It tells us that all people are conceived in sin and born in iniquity based on the representative, Adam . Based on this standard, everyone is guilty before God, even children. No one is innocent. Therefore, it isn’t unjust for God to take the lives of any of His creatures, even children.

Were Aaron’s sons deserving to be killed for lighting incense when God told them to ho get incense?

---

Yes. God gave specific instructions for how He wanted to be worshipped and Aaron’s sons disobeyed Him. Since they were priests and were leading the people in worship, they were supposed to be examples of holiness to the people. Instead, they were examples of rebellion and were killed for it.

Did the Israelites deserve to be killed by God for worshipping God through the golden bull idol (before Moses even made them aware of that second commandment)?

---

Yes. They deserved to be killed by God for their sin. God holds all people accountable to the moral law (summarized by the 10 commandments) even if He hasn’t revealed it to them openly because He has implanted it in the hearts of all people.

Recall that God judged the Canaanites for their idol worship and child sacrifices by driving them out of the land at the hands of the Israelites. He was patient with them for hundreds of years but they didn’t change their ways. That was also before the tablets were given at Mt. Sinai. Cain was guilty of murder of Abel before the 10 commandments were given, as well.

The sad thing is that you know right from wrong in a general sense because you were created in the image of your creator, yet you suppress that knowledge of Him in unrighteousness. Because you reject God, you reject objective morality and therefore have no leg to stand on to judge or condemn anyone for what you perceive as immoral actions. You can’t judge God and you can’t judge other men. If you do, you are exhibiting foolishness and irrationality.

You need to repent of your sins and turn to God through trusting in the death of Jesus Christ to am forgive you if your sins.
