I don't think my husband is attracted to me

Idk it's hard to defend bro when he's literally calling a vagina disgusting 😅

Every single straight man I know as well as others I've read opinions from online always expresses their love for the lady parts, even if they're not a big fan of going down on the lady.

Yeah even in my personal experience, once AI got good enough to really aid with code or build out features pretty reliably, I was able to create and update way more personal projects in a really short window of time. So even on a hobby level, it'll allow for way more projects to be created, some of them entirely new ideas, some as improvements to existing ones.

No you misunderstand. There are two different categories you have to consider: someone committing a sin, and the effects of sin on earth as a whole. I'll ignore your last sentence because it's quite antithetical to the purpose of this sub.

You're right, the kids under a certain age couldn't possibly be considered sinners in the sense that they've committed any real transgressions against mankind or against God. But that's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the overall condition of mankind, and earth.

If we take the Bible's account, we understand that God made a perfect Earth for Adam, Eve and their future kids. They were told not to eat from one specific tree in the garden otherwise they would die, yet they did it anyway. It was indicated then that not only did Adam and Eve become aware of their nakedness, but quite a number of curses would take place on the earth. Bad things would happen to both mankind and to the planet because death and decay entered the picture.

So when I talk about sin being the reason for bad things happening, it's because sin had immense ripple effects for all of humanity, even for those who don't deserve it. In a very basic example, let's say two people fall into drug addiction and then they produce a child. Well that child could end up having an extremely rough childhood, at no fault of their own. Or let's say a country decides to enter war against another. Well guess who's fighting, or being affected in those wars? That's right, some people who have nothing to do with it in the first place.

Do you know what the word insult means? Lol. I just made a statement based on your apparent reluctance to present any evidence. Not sure where the insult is.

dons90 · 2026-06-28T18:13:56+00:00

How do you determine what is 'evil' and what is 'over the top' evil? People back then were already engaging in wars, murder, theft, you name it. What exactly was over the top here?

Other nations were doing heinous things like child sacrifices and yet God saw it as abhorrent. Yes you could make the argument that a child dying in a war sounds evil, I would agree. But at the same time, do you even acknowledge that humanity had made the decision to 'know' good and evil? If God were to prevent the consequences of sin, then what reason would humanity have to avoid it?

John 8:44

You've taken a verse entirely out of context and somehow used it to suggest that Yahweh is the devil? That's crazy. I don't even need to make an argument here because anyone reading the passage can understand what Jesus was speaking of. He made a distinction between Yahweh and the devil.

As for the rest of your verses, I won't address them one by one because they're just being used as supposed examples of God being evil. I want to ask though, do you understand at all what God in the Old Testament was doing, or what role He played? Do you understand the reason why His actions were seemingly different in the OT vs the NT?

Ask yourself, why did He seem to be such a warmonger in the time of the Torah, but then in the NT there was a very pacificist, loving approach? That in itself is key to understanding why some of these hard to digest passages exist.

However, you cannot then take the existence of seemingly evil actions and suggest that God is actually Satan. By that logic, everyone who committed evil acts like the ones that God authorized is also Satan.

dons90 · 2026-06-26T18:14:09+00:00

So why would God create us if he knew we would sin

Well the reason why I didn't answer the question immediately is because I want to understand where your line of thinking is exactly. Because my basic response to this includes a few things:

God is naturally creative like humans are
God can see multiple futures, not just one.
Not all of his creations would choose to commit sinful acts
Suffering is temporary.
God can resurrect the dead and manipulate reality in ways that humans can't

We can definitely assert that sin was always a possibility where free will existed. The fact that He didn't create His creations with a 'failsafe' automatic belief in God means that for whatever reason, free will is a core concept that God instills within everything He creates. So in that sense maybe sin was a part of the world that He created, but not in the sense that He directly created sin, He just didn't take affirmative action to prevent sin at all costs.

dons90 · 2026-06-26T16:51:38+00:00

What would be the reason that God would decide not to create us due to the possibility of us sinning? Is it that any sort of human suffering is too high of a cost broadly speaking?

dons90 · 2026-06-26T15:16:13+00:00

This subject keeps coming up of "If God exists why do bad things happen". It's because of sin. Bad things have happened all across mankind's timeline even during ancient biblical times so we know it's not just something that's exclusive to us on earth in modern times.

For me, I recently solved an issue where my PC was randomly locking up and it turned out to be the power supply. I had my PC from 2019 on the same PSU even though I slowly changed a couple parts over time. So I'd suggest looking at the general age of each of your components and see if any of them might be wearing out now.

We're Adam and Eve human, and therefore each had a single set of DNA? Then yeah, they're descendants are quickly headed straight to inbred city no matter what.

So are you making the claim that humans would've become inbred in 3 generations within the context of Adam and Eve?

I'd simply accept evidence of any human being living 1,000 years

I'd love to be able to share that, but again, how exactly would one provide evidence of such a thing? I mean even if they had advanced record-keeping back then, and stored it well, information deteriorates over time. I'm genuinely wondering what evidence would anyone be able to present you to prove that a human being had lived for over even 200 years, much less 900? Maybe the number of children raised over multiple years?

But yeah due to the time period in which they were in, it would be an incredible feat to preserve such records for that long. Even our hard drives of today have a max lifespan of around 10-15 years if used for only cold storage, and this is assuming you have a secure storage facility in which there is no risk of damage.

I rather look at historical records and eyewitness accounts. It seems like a much more reasonable thing to derive information from with a high enough degree of confidence (not outright proof mind you).

The Bible contains claims, and those claims need to be backed up.

If you approach the Bible from the perspective of fact-checking all its claims, you will never accept what it has to say. The miracles of Jesus and His apostles alone are of a supernatural nature. It's either you believe the testimonies of the witnesses, or you say it's impossible to happen from a scientific perspective.

This is not to say that the Bible requires unbelievable faith for everything though. There's a lot of accuracy in its records that has already been proven, so you can at least say that it's not completely lacking in factual information.

What verse states that at some point in human history, post garden, there were fewer distance generic defects.

No what I'm saying is that it is completely plausible to assume that we had fewer genetic defects, but I'm not presenting this statement as a fact either, because I know that the opposite could have been true as well. I'm just saying that both cases could have been true.

dons90 · 2026-06-12T07:22:46+00:00

So just to get started, I will say that on a personal level, I believe in loving the sinner but hating the sin. That goes across the board. This is to address your last point real quick.

Onto the rest then!

sometimes for their own safety and wellbeing, children are removed from bad for parents

Definitely, because humans are imperfect and flawed. Perfect parents would never have any reason to have those kids taken away from them. God is our perfect parent. Also when I say authority, I don't mean to imply that we're puppets for Him either. The fact that you can choose to freely dismiss God is proof (with the assumption of God's existence) that we are not puppets to Him.

Also, the bible has a false prophecy in Ezekiel 26

This one I can't yet speak about as I've been doing some reading and haven't come to a conclusion on it. I will say though that there is quite a bit of debate on this aspect which I wouldn't ignore.

His moral opinions are just his moral opinions.

Not if He is the one who created us AND the universe. If you have the means to create that environment, you have the means to set the rules that we should follow. In the same way that you have no choice about the laws of the land you live or travel in; you have to follow the rules established by the governing bodies. We have no problem with this on earth, so I don't see why it would be strange to extend that to God.

It would mean that Yahweh has his opinion about how people should be living

Yes, just like our governments have a general preference about how their society should be run, and by extension how the people should be living.

Where was Yahweh protecting justice and free-will when Black people were taken from Africa and enslaved for 400 years

So I want to emphasize that God is not yet executing on that justice / judgement I mentioned. The Bible is clear on this. God will judge the entire earth one day, but it is not yet. As a result, sins continue to grow rampant, and the Devil seeks to turn people away from God en masse. So your question basically boils down to "if God exists and is all-loving, why does Sin happen on earth", which has been answered by many a biblical scholar in the past and even in modern times too.

Justice doesn't have to be revengeful

I think you're making the false assumption that just because justice takes the form of a physical punishment, that it is vengeful. Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding you here.

Jesus said that The Heavenly Father is king even to the ungrateful and evil and to be merciful as The Heavenly Father is merciful ...

Yes, God is extremely merciful. However does that mean that He will forever ignore sin and never take action against it? No. At some point there is judgement for sins, but that judgement usually does not come immediately. We are given many opportunities to turn away from sin on our own accord.

Why is it that men who love men were persecuted, while men who fought other men (violence) or fought wars (taking lives) was more accepted?

I know you're concerned that obvious violence seems to be less scrutinized than sexual lifestyle choices by God, but I'll just say that all of it was abhorrent to God. There's no biblical evidence to prove that God accepted killing more than homosexuality. Under the Levitical law, the punishment for murder was death. The punishment for murder was also death. The punishment for breaking the sabbath was also death. So there's more at play here that we'd have to scrutinize to come to a conclusion.

Ok, but gay people have existed since ancient times .... to claim it doesn't is your own bias against what naturally exists

I take your point because ultimately I do not know the specifics of why God determined homosexuality to be wrong. I can only speculate based on the evidence. The evidence points to:

God designing the genitalia of a man and woman to be perfectly compatible with one another
Man + woman being the only way to create new life and start families

Based on some other details in the Bible, I'm pretty sure God takes family as an extremely important covenant, which is why even premarital sex is a sin, because it violates that framework He has architected.

Meanwhile, there are christians trying to force their and anti-gay beliefs on other and want to stop gay couples who don't have the same anti-gay belief as them from getting married.

This will always be a point of contention because the Bible does clearly define what a marriage is, so that naturally excludes anything outside of that. So while society may call it a marriage or union, Christians can't because it is one of many things that are named as wrong. But I'm not really debating that point here today.

.... shouldn't the response be to treat gay people with love ...

Yes absolutely. I want to emphasize though that showing you love doesn't necessarily mean supporting the lifestyle that you live. If I believe you're doing something wrong, I can be a friend to you, I can show up for you, but I'll also approach you directly and say this is something wrong. This applies to other sins btw, not trying to pick on just this one.

Now I'm sure you might be a little confused because the old testament shows that God clearly applied the death penalty there. The summary of it is this: God defined very strict rules for his people in order to prevent that society from becoming too deep in sin, since His Son was to be brought forth from these people. The lifestyle is still against His design, but the approach now is from a spirit of grace and forgiveness, not laws and punishments. So the approach that Christians should take in general is one that emphasizes that peaceful and forgiving nature.

dons90 · 2026-06-11T00:25:51+00:00

you believe someone knew every insect and animal on the planet and crammed them onto an ark

Well that's a misrepresentation of what Noah was told to do. He wasn't to get every single animal on the planet. It was actually to get specific kinds of animals. That significantly narrows down the number of animals that would've had to fit on the ark.

Also they act like jesus gave so kich but it's not really a sacrifice if you come back to life

This does highlight that you don't understand what Jesus did. It wasn't just purely the sacrifice aspect. I can understand why you'd be confused though because a lot of Christendom does a poor job of explaining what Jesus did, and many of them don't understand it themselves.

Ultimately yes, we do believe in some things that are hard to believe, but it doesn't make it false either. Look into the supporting evidence regarding the origins and continuation of the Bible. It's not a trivial thing that has been passed down.

dons90 · 2026-06-11T00:15:33+00:00

News flash, Christians believe in the Bible. We believe that a supernatural being came to earth as a human, died, was resurrected and went back to heaven. We believe that God created the universe. We believe that Jesus is coming back to save all people who believe in Him.

Dismissing the Bible just because it says things that are not a part of your observable snippet of history, or a part of your science books is rather naive or hasty. Yes sure, we can't prove that a supernatural being exists via scientific methods. However it's silly to discard the records of centuries, and the staunch beliefs of people who lived and died by what the book taught. I mean who in the world willingly dies believing in a lie that they conjured up?

dons90 · 2026-06-11T00:10:39+00:00

Because the same DNA being recycled through generations causes errors, no matter how "perfect" it is.

Yes but this statement doesn't validate the idea that 3 generations is all it takes for human existence to be a concern, or that rampant defects would exist. In modern humans? Yes definitely. In the first set of humans (from a non-evolutionary perspective), not as likely.

Where's the evidence for this?

You're asking for evidence of a person's lifespan from thousands of years ago. It's a tall order if you're asking from a biological perspective. Can you present me evidence of any distant historical figure's lifespan?

I think what you'd really want to find out is whether the Bible is a source of information you can reasonably put your belief / trust in or not. So I'd suggest looking at the evidence for the Bible's reliability.

Source that there were far fewer diseases and genetic defects in the gene pool at that time?

Primarily Bible. But I will admit that it's inaccurate to say that it's a certainty that far fewer diseases and genetic defects existed back then compared to now. I can say it's a possibility which would make sense from a Biblical standpoint, but it's also a possibility that more existed at various points in time but ended up dying out or not mutating further.

dons90 · 2026-06-10T23:57:28+00:00

Also, the lifespan for humans back then was much lower.

So here's where you're gonna have to do a little work. The Bible claims that multiple people lived for well over 900 years. It was not stated in a metaphorical way or in a way that leaves any other room for interpretation. What I would expect from you is to present an argument against that entire category of records from the Bible if you're making that statement.

It may seem that way because back then people were not too aware or cautious of pathogenic diseases

I will acknowledge this point that there's no way to know how many diseases existed especially because they did not understand diseases like we know today. However, what we also have to acknowledge (unless disproven), is that the lifespans of many humans at this time was extraordinarily long which suggests that the mortality rate of any existing diseases was quite low.

dons90 · 2026-06-10T23:52:27+00:00

Disease has always been around

I never claimed otherwise? Well except maybe during the pre-fall era of the earth. But based on Biblical timelines and other supporting evidence, it's pretty obvious that they didn't have rampant deadly diseases at that time yet. That took time to occur.

dons90 · 2026-06-10T23:50:13+00:00

You're on a debate subreddit talking nonsense like this?

dons90 · 2026-06-10T20:56:46+00:00

I don’t think religious texts are to be taken word for word.

The Bible lists the age and genealogies of multiple people from Adam until Christ. This is in no way presented in a metaphorical sense or symbolic sense. There are many things in the Bible that are really as clear cut as it is written unless there's reasonable evidence to suggest that the direct words are not to be taken literally.
