Or is it because they can't answer? Either way I win.

The argument, "Maybe". Instead of dodging why not refute? If you could refute you would.

He punished mankind by flooding the earth and promised that in THAT way He wouldn't do it again and the rainbow is the reminder for all to see. Where did he change? That He wouldn't punish us that way? Lol, read revelations man, there are a million trillion other ways to have the same result, He just promised not to use THAT one.
His views never changed on any of the other things either. They are still the same as they have always been. The requirement to repent for the wrongs you do is still there, the sacrifice the OT required each time is no longer required because Jesus paid the price for all of us once and for all. You didn't bother to actually read what you are trying to argue with, nor did you bother to look at the context in which it is being used. In short, you are just pointing a finger and trying to upset the real followers of the Lord, misery loves company.

I was hoping some one better qualified would answer your questions, but it does not seem they are one tonight. I hope this is said clearly.
God is not unchanging. He ALWAYS wanted a personal relationship with us. We destroyed this by choosing sin instead of that relationship. What this means is that when we choose to have that relationship restored in the methods he set forth OT and carried into the NT God goes BACK to his original desires.
Now in the OT and even in the NT God wanted to destroy ALL deviant behavior. But, this is handled differently in both not due to a changing mind but the continuing theme he set into motion. First God handled it directly and commanded us to do so as well as we waited for the coming Messiah and the message he would teach. Jesus said in essence said let them destroy themselves and then come unto Judgment. There are many prophecies that speak on what God meant for Jesus to do. That is to say he had a three step plan. First Law, Second Grace, Third Judgment.
God has not changed his views on sin. As for slavery he does not have a problem with it as long as the slaves are treated well and has in the past used slavery to teach his children a lesson. A lesson that they did not learn. Remember God did not START slavery. It as with "Sexism" is a man made institution that God allows with man's free will. He did set rules in place as I said before. As for Sexism I do not believe it is there, but I do not see it as a problem either for God or myself.
Now, before and after the Flood I believe that God only expressed remorse for creating man, but he did not change his mind on creation. Instead he started anew with a small stock and vowed to see it through to completion. Thus, the rainbow is there for all to see his eternal pledge, which by the way has not been broken.
God is always right and Just.

Someone the other day asked on Yahoo Answers what Matthew 7:6 meant. I believe you have provided a perfect example of that. I am answering this question because you have implied that not answering is willful ignorance. I wonder. Is it willful ignorance when a blind man asks for someone to fence with him for gifted fencers to ignore him, no matter how much he rants and raves?
The Proverbs say, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." So in essence, whether Christians answer you according to your folly or don't answer you according to your folly, either way, the Christian wins,

What's your point? I don't see any meaningful questions concerning Christianity or a belief in particular. If you had any legitimate questions that is worth paying attention to, then I am sure we would be glad to listen to them and then give you an informed answer.
But then you may just want to ramble on without even knowing what you are talking about. If that is the case, then don't expect anyone to pay attention to you.

More like boredom zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz EDIT...You would find fault with any answer, regardless of how intelligent and logical it would be. Face it, you don't want any other opinions other than your own. We have our beliefs, you can't change them, and that's what's really annoying you, isn't it ? Do you really think you've "won"anything, when you re-write the truth in your lonely little world, where only your opinions count? Have a nice, negative life.

What have you won? Perhaps you misread the answers and misplace the intent of such answers.
Edit: I could refute, in fact I could mostly likely eat you alive. But, that is not how we spread the truth.

Because the bible is just a book, and the god within it is fake. Thats the short answer, and any hardcore christian will never be able to see the obvious answer in front of them due to their fear. But some people, maybe you, are beyond fear, and once that happens true knowledge starts to form about the universe and the true 'god'...
There.

I am Christian and I do pay attention to you, but more intently, I pay attention to your answerer's.
And honestly, I do not know the answer to your question.
I was not aware that religion was a game.
God Bless!
