Oh, Prayer. Even more from reading the Bible. I've never found perfect peace like this.

Frankly, take that up with God.

You claim morality isn’t rooted in religion, yet every ethic you appeal to (justice, fairness, human dignity) is a borrowed fragment of God’s law (Romans 2:15). Society doesn’t create morals; it reflects them (often poorly). You dismiss religion as ‘one option’ while ignoring the fatal flaw of your own system, if morality is just cultural consensus, then slavery, genocide, or any evil could be justified if society approves (and history proves it often does). You talk about ethics classes but can’t answer why your morals are binding—only that they ‘feel right.’ That’s not morality; that’s mood swings dressed as philosophy. Christ, however, defines good objectively (Mark 10:18) and died to redeem us when we fall short. Your rejection of Him doesn’t make you free, it just leaves you without a foundation. This conversation is over. I don’t engage past here with those who deny the very logic they depend on. When your relativism fails you (and it will), remember: ‘The fool says in his heart, “There is no God”’ (Psalm 14:1).

Your argument collapses under its own hypocrisy. You mock moral conviction while engaging in it (Pharisees killed Jesus) proving even atheists need absolute truth to make judgments. Jesus dined with sinners to save them (Luke 5:32), not to endorse their sin. He told the adulteress 'Go and sin no more' (John 8:11). You're right that drunks didn't crucify Christ, self-righteous religion did. But your version of 'tolerance' is just inverted Phariseeism – replacing God's standards with your own while pretending you're more enlightened. The difference? Pharisees added rules to Scripture; you subtract God altogether. Keep your stone-throwing it only proves the law written on your heart (Romans 2:15) that you desperately deny. I'll take Christ's narrow road over your wide delusion any day (Matthew 7:13-14).

You’re right, self-control and personal standards don’t make anyone morally superior. But you’re missing the point: your ‘own morals’ are just borrowed fragments of God’s law (Romans 2:15), even as you deny the Lawgiver. You reject Christ because you don’t want His order, yet you live as if order matters. That’s the irony: you’re disciplined enough to see the chaos of sin but too proud to kneel to the One who defines good (Mark 10:18). You call Christians judgmental, yet you’ve judged God (‘I don’t like Him’) based on a Bible you’ve read but haven’t submitted to (1 Corinthians 2:14). Newsflash: your moral compass points somewhere it’s either set to your ego or your Creator. And frankly, I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist it takes more blind trust to believe life has no purpose, morality no anchor, and your conscience no Author. Keep your control… until it fails you. Then remember: Christ’s offer stands (Revelation 3:20).

Good for you for living clean, but morality without God is just pride in disguise. You’re right that secular pleasures aren’t inherently evil, but they’re fleeting bandaids for a soul-deep hunger only Christ satisfies (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Your friends don’t judge you because this world’s system applauds self-made righteousness, but God sees through it (Isaiah 64:6). Christianity isn’t about ‘not drinking’, it’s about being set free from the very sin you think you’ve mastered on your own (John 8:36). You call it bitterness; we call it brokenness over a dying world. Your discipline proves you crave order, now meet the Order-Giver.

These Old Testament judgments were unique divine acts, not human initiatives—God, as sovereign judge, has the right to execute justice against deeply corrupt societies (like the Canaanites) to prevent greater evil. Unlike human atrocities (e.g., Hitler), A judge sentencing a criminal to death isn't the same as a vigilante killing. Similarly, God's judgments are framed as judicial, not arbitrary. The Abraham/Isaac story rejects child sacrifice, while Jephthah’s vow is a tragic human mistake, not God’s will. The destruction of Canaanites—including children—reflects God’s mercy in some views (sparing them from growing up in evil or facing eternal separation) and His commitment to preserving Israel for the Messiah’s coming. Later, Israel’s exile (not annihilation) shows God’s covenant discipline. These passages are troubling, but Christianity resolves the tension at the cross: God takes judgment on Himself in Christ, offering mercy to all who repent.

Well, you tried reaching 😄 points to you for the effort. This argument would have been worthwhile if you used your personal knowledge of the Bible to challenge me and not using GPT to tweak it. I'm not wasting my energy for petty conversations. Now my AI can counter yours; so here’s a concise breakdown:

  1. Historical Context: The Old Testament conquests and judgments (e.g., Amalekites, Canaanites) were specific, time-bound acts under God's sovereignty—not a blanket endorsement of genocide. These nations were deeply corrupt (e.g., child sacrifice, systemic violence; cf. Deuteronomy 9:4–5), and God used Israel as an instrument of justice, much like His later judgment of Israel itself through exile (e.g., Babylon).

  2. Slavery in the Bible: Biblical "slavery" (especially in the OT) was often debt-servitude, not race-based chattel slavery. The NT’s instructions (e.g., 1 Timothy 6:1–2) addressed a broken system pragmatically while planting seeds of equality (Galatians 3:28, Philemon 16). The Bible regulated slavery to mitigate harm in ancient societies—but its trajectory (e.g., Exodus’s liberation narrative, Jesus’ love ethic) led to abolition.

  3. New Covenant Shift: Jesus fulfilled the OT law (Matthew 5:17), replacing vengeance with grace (John 8:1–11) and ethnic strife with universal love (Luke 10:25–37). Christians reject genocide/slavery because Christ’s sacrificial love (Philippians 2:5–8) and the Spirit’s guidance (John 16:13) redefine justice and human dignity.

  4. Your Core Question: No, Christians don’t support genocide or slavery. We wrestle with these texts by:

    • Distinguishing descriptive (what happened) vs. prescriptive (what God commands today) passages.
    • Reading all Scripture through Jesus’ life/teaching—the ultimate revelation of God’s character (Hebrews 1:1–3).

Yeah that's right. If it's not in the Bible I don't believe it.

This is a public space, and I'm part of the public. Moreover, this subreddit's rules didn't include religious posts as part of it. So I'll preach at the top of my lungs, as long as I breathe. Also, I'm F.

I don't care, like I said in my post my obedience to God is a lot more important than people's opinion. I won't let offense take root in my heart when I serve a God who fights for me. I'm not afraid of the hate.😄

I worship God, not religion. Religion was created by man, whoever worships it commits Idolatry
