Good video.

don't worry, I was a Christian for 20 years. Even the "best" sources of info (I guess you would define best as, "respected") don't provide a much better argument. It all comes down to faith and the willingness to believe despite the flaws. I'm not a person that can do that.

@malignantpoodle In the end of this conversation comes down to "YOU WIN" you are right in your mind (God shouldn't do things this way), and I am wrong, and so be it.
I am sure this conversation certainly did not make you feel like you would want to believe there is a God, but keep in mind I am not the best source of info

Perhaps the most troubling thing to think about is that God wants to sort out who is truly loyal to him, and who is loyal for the sake of themselves. Then you wonder if God wants all to be saved, why even sort it out?
It is because of freewill and a God who wants genuine affection/loyalty, wishing (but not forcing) you all to be as such.

I hope you realize in your example that you are punished for believing god, and rewarded for not. And if you don't believe god, then his act of sending a strong delusion means that he failed at something, and is not perfect.

Trusting god that sends strong delusion? That doesn't make any sense at all. If you trust the god that makes you believe a lie, then you are punished.

Where does it say his sons were dead? He could say the exact same thing without ever having had a son born.
I remember as a child, being told that the bible was the best selling book in the world. I was impressed.
unfortunately, I now believe that, irrespective of it's sales figures, it is also the least read.
I advise christians that I meet to read their bibles from cover to cover, over and over again.
Most christians only read favourite passages or ones selected by their ministers.

"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."

The bible has been around for 3000 years? Interesting.
So the longer the following, the more credible the belief? I guess Zoroastrianism must be true! Or Taoism! Because they're much older than Christianity and have not been destroyed! How about Judaism? They've survived thousands of years of persecution including the holocaust.
Your logic isn't logic at all... it's fails.
