If Christ died on the cross for all of humanity

I have some questions, and I want some answers:

1) Ex4Life, Rostos, Smoothd have ALL admitted that the Bible has been edited, changed, rewritten, parts lost, etc. By comparison, if I showed you an old history book and said: "Out of 20 chapters, 8 of them are historically inaccurate because of rewrites or missing pieces," you wouldn't give the book a second look. In Ex4Life's masterpiece composition of idiocy (where he uses lines from the BIBLE to prove that the BIBLE is true, a method that would get him laughed out of even special education classes), even he admits that it's a book that's been written by 50+ authors over 1000+, not to mention we have NO IDEA what's supposed to be "metaphor" and what's "real." So:

a) How can you trust a single word in that book when you ACCEPT that parts of it are changed from its original state?

b) How can you use any shred of it as evidence for anything when you know parts of the book are incorrect as they were originally intended, AND that "supposively" (as SirJohnDrake might say) some of it is to be taken metaphorically?

2) How do you justify Christianity over any other religion? How is it any more valid than say Islam, Buddhism, Scientology, Magicology, Santaology, TheWorldSprangFromAdam'sErectPenisOlogy, etc...?

3) If you REALLY believe the world is 6,000 years old, how do you explain dinosaurs? Or ancient Egyptians? Or Mesopotamians?

4) Why, if Christianity such a peaceful religion (and if we are all "God's children," does the Bible condone killing (a) homosexuals, (b) non-virgins, (c) for hitting one's parents, among other things?

a) "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."  (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

b) But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house.  Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.  (Deuteronomy  22:20-21 NAB)

c) Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death.  (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

5) Why do we have a "spiritual void" if we don't believe in Christianity? Since a huge majority of the world ISN'T Christian, are they spiritually blind as well? Are only Christians correct? This refers to question two as well.


AND IF ANYBODY TRIES TO REFERENCE THE BIBLE FOR ANY ANSWERS, YOU'RE A MORON. YOU CAN'T USE THE BIBLE AS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Appeal to motive is a pattern of argument which consists in challenging a thesis by calling into question the motives of its proposer. It can be considered as a special case of the ad hominem circumstantial argument. As such, this type of argument may be a logical fallacy.

STOP

one simple question (and i'm catholic) adam and eve bore 2 sons, kane and able, where did kanes wife come from?

Sugarbear- You're boring with me with psycho babel!!! STOP! Bottom line, if you don't believe why keep talking about it. Don't confuse yourself with the mumbo jumbo that you constantly spew out. Why keep talking over and over about something you don't believe in. Explain that lunacy first!

For the record not all Christians believe the nonsense that the Earth is 6000 years old. Don't paint everybody with the same fundamentalist brush. That's complete nonsense and since you're such an underwhelming scientific mind you should know better. But you spew this garbage to entertain you and your atheist friends. But the fact remains you hide behind the lies of atheism and it really doesn't matter about all your questions and doubts. God is and that's TRUTH friend. If you don't believe you will deal with that in your own time or God's time. Plain and simple. It's not complicated.

there's an old saying...for those who believe no explanation is needed, for those who don't, none will do.
most religeons are faith based, and faith is believing in that which CANNOT be proven, it's as simple as that

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." -Emerson

I enjoyed the fact that in your previous post, you first spelled babble "babel," then employed the very type of argument that I SHOWED YOU WAS INCORRECT, then gave me this answer to my five questions:

God is because he is and that's the truth.



About what I expected... next up? SJD? Rostos? Ex4Life? Five questions for you and I wait with bated breath

another simple question, if as we (catholics) are taught god is all forgiving (as evidenced by the churches position on the death penalty) doesn't that negate the theory of heaven and hell? for if god forgives all, no one would be sent to hell, not even satan himself

hmmmmm, aint that some shit?

does anyone except me find it odd that in the bible, in the book of genesis when decides to create man, he says "WE shall create him in OUR image" ?
and why did he say "let there be lite"? who was he talking to? i mean when i find it dark in here, i dont say turn on the light if i'm by myself, i simply make it brighter, without comment.

Sugarbear you are dead wrong, 

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

My issue isn't so much with the notion that there is a divine creator. It's that even if there is some mastermind, someone that sparked the big bang and what not, it is almost certainly NOT the Christian god. There are so many problems with the portrayal and description of the Christian god. So many problems with the Bible. So many inconsistencies and things the Bible says that cannot possibly be true and/or explained. If you wanna debate the existence of god, that's one thing. But to say you know the characteristics of the god that may have created it all, that's asinine.

And again I say the archeological findings have done nothing but support the Bible, 

Sugarbear you are dead wrong, 

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. Nice try tmstr, did I hit a nerve? Trying to change my words up now huh? I would too being in your shoes. I would too.

Explain the cave drawings in Africa detailing multiple days of darkness at the time of the crucifixion? 

Ummm clouds? Lol

When you're claiming that something exists the defies the laws of physics and every logical rule we know in our world, you're gonna have to do a little better than cave drawings.

Isn't it interesting though kitty, that these guys say the methods scientists use to date rocks and things of the like are not that accurate, yet they say cave drawings can be narrowed down to an exact day lol interesting...
