I am a Bible-beleiving practicing Christian. I was in the process of answering these questions when they were withdrawn by the asker. I'd like to still respond anyhow......
Christians: I have many questions?
Okay lets begin...
1. Why do you continue to butcher Judaism?
2. If God is so nice, why did he commit the single biggest act of Genocide in the history of fiction?
3. Why is God a sexist pig?
4. Why do you continue to peddle your lies?
5. Whats has your religion ever done that couldn't of been done without it?
Answers -
1- Not butchering, but fulfillment. Read the Epistle to the Hebrews in the NT for more detailed info on this, also Matthew's Gospel
2 - God isn't always so nice. Where did you get that one? He can get downright nasty if He's provoked or mocked. As is His right.
3 - God isn't the sexist pig. Some people are. We are all one in Christ. In Him, "there is no male or female, slave nor free, Jew nor Gentile, but we are all one in Christ Jesus".

[Ran out of room above]
4 - We "peddle" the truth, and we do that because we are commanded to by Christ Himself (The Great Commission - last chapter of Matthew's Gospel) We are commanded by God to preach the Gospel to all nations.
5 - The Christian religion is directly responsible for the creation of many things that benefit mankind like the concept of hospitals, western-style universities, and the idea of separation of church vs. state power. None of these things were known in the Muslim world, for example, until the late 1800's-early 1900's and instituted there only under pressure from the West. Much has been made by anti-Christians about things like the Crusades, the Inquisitions, etc, but consider this: Far more millions have been killed in the name of secular humanism and atheism in the 20th century, than in all preceding centuries combined due to religion. Overall, belief in God and it's attendant religions have been more a force for good in the world than bad

"The Christian religion is directly responsible for the creation of many things that benefit mankind like the concept of hospitals"... THAT IS A LIE. Brahmanic hospitals were established in Sri Lanka as early as 431 BC, and King Asoka established a chain of hospitals in Hindustan about 230 BC. Around 100 BC the Romans established hospitals (valetudinaria) for the treatment of gladiators. The Greeks had hospitals. Roman medical knowledge was one facet of the 'Pagan' knowledge that was lost by Christianity as it dragged humanity into the Dark Ages... so, while Christians maintained hospitals, you were more likely to get killed there, than cured. In fact, a level of medical knowledge and proficiency approaching that of the Romans was not again achieved in history until around the time of World War I.
..."western-style universities" THAT IS A LIE
... "and the idea of separation of church vs. state power."... THAT IS A LIE. The separation of church and state was a consequence of the secular humanist ideals of the Enlightenment and the subsequent 'Age of Reason'. Up until the USA was established, all earthly authority was deemed to be authorized by god, under the 'Divine Right of Kings.'
..."Far more millions have been killed in the name of secular humanism and atheism in the 20th century."... THAT IS A LIE. The fascist and communist regimes of the 20th century were IDEOLOGIES... and they demanded loyalty to the STATE. Religion was a COMPETING IDEOLOGY... it demanded loyalty to a higher power. The murderous excesses of these regimes was a POLITICAL expediency. Nobody has ever been massacred in the name of 'secular humanism'... respect for the innate rights of man. Nobody has ever been murdered in the name of reason and rational skepticism.
Overall, belief in God and it's attendant religions have been more a force for good in the world than bad. *** and this is the vilest LIE of them all. ***
The thing is that NONE of these lies surprise me... for they are the stock-in-trade of christianity... the most profane insult to humanity that has ever existed.

Please don't assume to speak for all Christians, ok? I have to disagree with some of your statements. I also find that the traditional Christian Version of God puts off many otherwise spiritual people. I don't mean for this to sound hostile, but I'm trying to make you aware that one religon or dogma cannot speak for everyone.

Many times someone will ask something just to try to upset someone, & then they will withdraw their question, sometimes I think they also do this because they see that the one that will at the end be upset will be themselves.

The questions in question obviously came from a non-believing, unregenerated person who is in desperate need of Christ for salvation
