Why can't atheists see that the Bible is God's Holy law on how to treat other people?

Question

Like people who worship other gods
and slaves
and women who have been raped in the city
and homosexuals

Answer 1

Whoever can really SEE, they can see that bible have lost of contradiction and contrafiction

Answer 2

the mindset of organic and organic evolution had not been got here across while the biblical texts have been written. Plus the actuality that the Bible isn't a biology e book, so there could be no reason to point it. The Bible does not talk DNA replication the two, for the two between a similar motives. The Bible says to handle atheists with love and compassion, and to do reliable for them.

Answer 3

Meditate on Romans 1:18-32. Notice how many times the passage says, "although they knew God's righteous decrees they choose to do ________." The passage speaks heavily to both God's act of creation and their conscience as a continually "voice" to every living human being on the planet about God's existence and character. So, according to the passage, atheists and every other stripe of human being really does know certain things about God and his character but this knowledge is suppressed willfully through sinful actions and thinking in spite of their better knowledge. The most interesting word in the passage is the word "suppress." Sinful acts and thinking are like someone sitting on a metal spring. The spring (the knowledge of God) is continually pushing up while the sinner is continually pushing down or sitting on the spring in order to suppress what they really "know." Also, read 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 another interesting parallel to what Paul wrote in Romans. Hope that helps. God bless.

Answer 4

If that were true, then the bible would have kept people from owning slaves only up until very recently, kept people from brutalizing their children,
it would have stopped the brutalities of war--going in, raping the women and slaughtering the children, ---all are justified somewhere in the bible, like
It would have stopped witches from being burned and would have kept people from being obsessed with being "possessed" by the devil,
drilling holes in people's heads to let out the demonic spirits of some many unfortunate lunatics......
The bible did ZILTCH for us for almost two thousand years as a people,
and it continues to do nothing for us today...

thank goodness for our own evolution of justice and compassion as a race of species.

Answer 5

The Bible isn't God's holy law. Of course the 10 Commandments are in it. The bible is the first step of getting to know God and all that has transpired between he and his children.
Through the Bible, people learn the history of their creation and what to look out for (mainly Satan).
You are wrong.

Answer 6

I have never needed any secondhand "written instructions" for how to act like a decent human being. I learned it at home growing up, f rom the best role models I could have had; my parents. They passed on to me what they themselves had known all their lives; that you do not do to other people what you would not want to have done to you. Also that you have empathy for others. That is all there is to know, and I never needed to believe in the existence of an angry, punitive invisible superbeing whom I had to go in fear and trembling of throughout my whole life, in case by chance I accidentally, or negligently did something to incur this being's gigantic wrath
In addition to that, we are literally awash in the evidence all around us, that belief in the "Mysterious Invisible Superbeing" we call "god" certainly does not seem to affect the way people behave towards others. The prisons are bursting at the seams with miscreants of every level of crime and horrible conduct, thousands and thousands of whom claim, when asked, that they are "true believers"; and, no, I am not talking about the ones who "got religion" after becoming incarcerated. I'm referring to those who claim they always have been - god-fearing, bible-loving, followers of either christianity or one of the other known religions. No, no, and no again, right and wrong are known to everyone, believers a nd non-believers alike. Good and Evil are committed in pretty much equal distribution throughout the whole spectrum of humanity, regardless of whether or not they believe in "God". You can spend every possible minute of your waking life in church, and studying "the bible", but if there is something in you that is going to draw you into the wrong path of behaviour, you are no less likely to go out and commit some hideous wrongdoing than the other person who does none of that, and believes in no god at all. A person's character rarely reflects entirely what he claims to believe. He is either a good, decent, upstanding citizen, or a dirty rotten scoundrel..... or of course, anywhere between the two. That's the bottom line.

Answer 7

Your question confuses me, do you mean people who worship gods and slaves? And do you mean women who have been raped in the city and homosexuals who have been raped in the city, or just women. From my understanding of the bible it does not have a great respect of women, when you say slaves do you mean women. Maybe you should find a greater love for bible if you know what i mean. I would say practice safe sex but i'm sure this is a sin. Have fun with your bible. I know i have fun with mine but i have the vibrating version.

Answer 8

I feel sorry for you, if you are a christian why are you so judgemental and full of hatred? Didnt God and reading the Bible do anything to help you? If so go back and read it again. That is not the way to spread your word. I have read your other posted questions and threatening others with going to Hell is not a good way to convert. Trust me.

Answer 9

But I do. I take my morality lessons about these things from the bible. It tells me exactly what NOT to do. Just because the book is full of unreasonable hate and socially unacceptable responses doesn't mean that it isn't useful - all we have to do to get to the good things in the bible is reverse many of the things it says.

I think the worst one is "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" - that's obviously calling for us to abandon the legal system and degrade into anarchy. It is obvious that to take meaning from this we need to turn it on it's head.

Answer 10

It was always politically motivated than meant as "the word of God"

Marx was right when he declared religion to be the opiate of the masses. Thereis no better way to stifle political debate than by imposing "God's law" on people.

Answer 11

You are right, I have been in the dark this whole time. Next time I see a menstruating women walking around in public, I'm gonna pick up some pebbles and pelt them at her.
