It would seem the KKKristians do not appreciate me referring people to scripture.
(o.O)
They say "read the bible", but hevane forbid you actually quote the material cited above: the KKKristians will censor you for it

What's with the "KKKristian" stuff?? WTF?? I'm CHRISTian, and I've never heard of "KKKristian"... ok, maybe "Kristian," but I think that was someone's given name...
Try reading the REST of these stories...
What was God's purpose?
Were those purposes achieved?
Did He actually accept those human sacrifices?
Genesis 7- I'd rather be killed than really screw up and completely damn myself..
Genesis 22-- Maybe God wanted Abraham to learn something, maybe it was a test of Abe's faith?
Judges 11-- Let that be a lesson to you- don't make hasty vows... And where does it say that He didn't bat an eyelash?
2 Kings-- What were a bunch of kids doing making fun of the prophet of God, anyway?? (I suspect something was left out... I agree- it sounds kinda harsh)
Job-- Job was able to truly show his mettle (yes, that's spelled correctly), what he was made of. He remained strong and faithful, and was blessed for it.
Exodus 7-- Your point is...??
Exodus 12-- Children are pure in His eyes. Therefore little children who die are saved, automatically... do not pass Go, do not collect $200, do not struggle through puberty, go directly to heaven. As far as the older people killed (older than infant), we all gotta die sometime. Pharaoh shoulda thought of that when he got in a fight (arguement) with a prophet of God.
Matthew 19:14-- Try updating the wording and your understanding... "Grown-ups, allow the little children to come to Me, to learn of Me, to accept Me as their Savior, because it's those who are pure and perfect like these little ones that are in Heaven."
Try reading the good stuff He did... It may help you feel a little better about so many others who DO choose to worship Him.
Oh, and grow up. If you're not interested in being CHRISTian, then don't be a brat and pick silly play-ground fights.

That was Lot offering, and praise God the Angels intervened and didn't let Lot be so stupid, God was really good in that situation -he blinded the crowd allowing Lot's family to escape.
Genesis 7 - the Babies were only killed because the parents were not doing the best thing for their children, by believing Noah and getting on the boat.
About asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, it wasn't a joke, and Abraham knew he would be returning with Isaac in His statment "Stay here we will return" Abraham had to be obedient.
Jephithah should not have made such a foolish promise to God, God word is trusted. Jephithah should have known that it is the woman's tradition to come out of the house at the sound of horses dancing and singing particularly when they win battles... It was a costly lesson for Jephithah to learn that his yes is yes and his no is no. and that the Power of life and death really is in the tongue.
The bears being turned loose, was a bit more than just being called baldy, but it teaches that you don't mess with God's annointed. The Prophet is God's mouth peice.
The Job account, God allowed Satan to test Job's righteousness, as a believer how do we know that we are really righteous (standing right with God) it it is never tested.
With the stoning of the children, I have only seen one incident where that might of occured, and I could imagine that the amount of juvinile delinquents would have been a lot less than we have right now. God is Holy and His statues must be obeyed.
Yep he turned the water to blood, an Miracle to demonstrate his power, if you read on you see that the Egyptians could also turn water into blood, they were not impressed enough to let God's people come to him.
Yep He also slew the first born Eqyptians...
Yes He is the same on who say let the little children come to me... before the "age of understanding" a child is God's because they have not been able to make a choice, so all those children go to be directly with Jesus. Jesus does love everyone, God is Holy and must be obeyed.... They are valuable lessons that you would hope people would learn from.

As for Lot, Abraham asked God to save Lot. Lot would have been a gonner without Abraham. The babies of Genesis 7 would grow up to be violent and rebellious just as their parents were. These same kind of people that were destroyed by a flood will in the future be destroyed by fire. God does nothing unless He tells His prophets first.
God didn't condone what you are listing, but He did want you to know what the people back then were like.
You haven't even learned the lesson of Egypt. God was telling Egypt - Don't mess with My people.

You mean God DOESN'T hold the same profound love for those who are not His own, as the ones He has chosen? Wow, that explains Hell as righteousness. We don't deserve Heaven or merit it in any way, after all. Maybe we are all guilty and deserve nothing but condemnation. Dead babies, that fits. He can do absolutely anything with his creation, vessels made for destruction, plagues, and a lake of fire. Maybe original sin and the loss of fellowship with God really was that bad.
Why did He not only predestine some of us, but send His Son as a propitiation for our sins? That's really amazing, I believe and I have an assurance of salvation, and yet I'm no better or more deserving than -- uh -- you, who will not believe. It puts me on my knees...

It makes me want to fall down on my knees and projectile vomit. How can people know (I mean truly know) that Jesus was rejected by Father Gawd, despised, ridiculed, beaten, crushed, pierced, crucified for THEM, and not completely see this fable as disgusting, as the Load Gawd is supposedly "all-loving"? I just dont get that...~~ He didnt have to, Gawd could have chosen some other way to get rid of our sins, but He didn't. His perverted, deviant behavior won, and the truth was, there was NO need for a bloody sacrifice to be made for the sins of the world, but instead of us paying the price for our sins, He chose to brutally slaughter his own son for no apparent reason. I dont know about you, but I'm able to forgive people without requiring bloody human sacrifice....wow He is such an insane disgusting monster!!

They'll just defend any resemblance of babys with terms of "young adult". And the daughters where in place of "angels" in one of the passages, they came and said let us have those men that came to you (angels)... and he said "no, but take my daughters instead". That was the city's that got blown up because they didn't have enough holy men in them, lol.
Religion is cruel, any god that didn't drown a few baby's I'd be weary of. Show some damned backbone. Just don't throw it my way, lol.
Vacinni (down there) : Some christians say jesus was god in the flesh, couldn't this mean that god just had a bdsm/torture fetish?

Good point, although some Christians believe that suffering is good for the soul and helps you to be at one with God. Some say that God takes the best for himself. Good people die in terrible ways.

I am making my comment to your question about the man who offered his daughters to a gang of men.
Those good men wanted to have sex with two ANGELS of God. The men were beating the door down to get at them. I would rather they have their way with me than send out Gods holy angels to be abused. How evil those men were!
That gang of men burned to death in Sodom and Gomorrah.

I pledge allegience to the flag of a country
That enslaved blacks
Nuked Japan twice
Napalmed villages in Vietnam for a decade
I could go on and on.
And when you refuse to make that pledge you get disciplined by the school.

Yeah - the same God. It takes some thought, and study to understand the Bible if you want to understand it. Seek, and it shall be revealed to you.
