Like your video! There is another argument that I would like to add. Many religious people I have talked to have used the 'design argument'. It basically means something as complicated as the human eye can't just happen by chance but surely if something that complicated can't just come into existence. What about god? We can't comprehend god. So surely if something as complicated as an eye can't just come into existence then why is god 'real'. Surely god is a lot harder to comprehend than the
Actually you can prove Santa and Unicorns dont exist . Because they HAVE A HISTORY. The modern Santa was the product of Harper magazine in the 1800. Unicorns came about during the Renaissance as a a symbol of purity and grace. Also there no unicorns walking about today and theirs no fossils. Take away religion. You cant prove the concept of god dose or doesn't exist unless you have infinite knowledge of the universe. Which no one haves. Beside there whole lot more we dont know then we know.
@LMMEjsmith Youtube won't let me post links, so do a google search for "bible rape marriage punishment." the first link should be evil bible. check it out.
@LordStrange Ok, then, Leviticus 18:20 "moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her." There's a few other instances where men are held responsible for adultery. Leviticus 20:10, and Deuteronomy 22:23-24. In that last one, the female is punished because she does not scream for help, which indicates to me that rape was looked down on. Genesis 34 has an account where a woman, neither married nor betrothed, is essentially raped, and the man is punished.
@LMMEjsmith Check with your local Rabbi about the translation. The connotation in the original Hebrew is "woman cheating on husband." The English doesn't have that connotation.
@LordStrange Exodus 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery." That's not gender specific. Maybe God hasn't corrected it because He doesn't think it needs correcting. In any translation that i've read the basic gist is the same, the stories are the same, and the plan for salvation is the same.
You cite unjust murder as a form of evil, but is the violence that the God of the old testament unjust? And i mean by the standard of the scriptures themselves. If you disagree with the reasons given for the violence, that is one thing, but if the scriptures themselves contradict the reasons given for the violence, that is something else.
The assertion that God is good or evil seems to be based on human terms, as we understand them. If mankind were the measure of all things, then there would be no good or evil, because as logoRH mentions, they would be non absolutes. The scriptural assertion that God is good is not done based on human measures, but on God's measure. God, being good, is the ultimate universal standard for goodness. Anything that does not meet God's standard is what is evil.

@LMMEjsmith You've still got a problem. The book exists under god's permission. If he wanted to correct it, he could.
He hasn't, so I assume he doesn't want to.
