And where did you pull that steaming pile of idiocy out of?

I can't even describe how ridiculous you sound...
1) 99% of atheists don't have a problem with religion at all, and we certainly don't "think Christianity is insane."
2) We certainly do "have a standard of sanity." Even without a belief in a god or higher being, we still have morals, a conscience, and a firm idea of right and wrong.
3) most of the time, insanity can be attributed to any number of physical or psychological flaws or injuries. When that is not the case, the person has done something so clearly immoral that they are deemed insane by humanity in general.
So you see, our standard of sanity is based off of ourselves, and while different than yours, is no worse or less accurate than basing it off of something that may or may not even exist.

Also, I find it interesting that you imply Caitlyn Jenner's actions were insane...

I'm Catholic, and even I know that's a horseshit statement.

I guess sanity is believing that "God so loved the world, he flooded it and killed everyone on it... except one guy and his family that licked his boot laces"

That God loves the world and is himself the very embodiment of love itself does not nullify his justice and requirement to punish evil. So yes, it is in keeping with sanity. . Only a mentally deficient, evil, or unloving God or judge wouldn't punish evil. Which is precisely what those who died in the flood were, Evil.

Only a mentally deficient, evil, or unloving God or judge would create evil or allow it to exist as an excuse to commit murder and genocide.

Assuming these things you accuse God of are true. There not, but lets assume for a moment that they are. Tell me, by what objective standard do you determine God to be " mentally deficient " " evil " or " unloving " ? Because apart from God you have no such standards measure all these things by.. In effect, you have to sit in God's lap to slap his face.

There is no assumption. Read the Bible then get back to me.

I've read the bible cover to cover numerous times. Reading the bible is one thing, understanding it is an entirely different thing.

You mean having the ability to lie to yourself about what it says. God clearly kills children, commits Infanticide, commands Genocide, but hey..he's in charge right ? He can do no wrong in your eyes. Seig Heil !

Well, for one, I am human. Therefore I value human life because it is the same as my own. I do not need a "God" to tell me life is precious. I CERTAINLY don't need a God that sends his angels down to kill innocent children. I certainly don't need a God that commands his followers to rape women. I certainly don't need a God that is so insecure that he commands his followers to kill anyone that does not believe in him. 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 . Deuteronomy 13:13-19,Deuteronomy 13:7-12,Isaiah 14:21,Ezekiel 9:5-7,Jeremiah 51:20-26,Leviticus 26:21-22,
1 Samuel 15:2-3,Ezekiel 35:7-9,Exodus 32:26-29, shall I go on?

Yruly scary how your mind works. You resort to outright lies to justify your God. What makes you any different than the Muslims that flew those planes into the buildings? The Isis terrorists that behead innocent people? The woman that drove her car into the lake with her kids seatbelted in? God told them to do it. I was willing to debate you when we were discuccing facts and scripture but now you have just resorted to lying and saying you have answered questions that you have not. You are a religious radical that will not allow reason or logic to enter the conversation. If God told you to kill your child (As he did to Abraham) you'd do it...because in your world He gives you the moral relevancy and if He says kill a kid you'll do it. If A god told told me to kill a kid I'd tell him to get bent. God threatens you through your fear. THAT is the truth you do not want to admit. You say free-will. Bullshit. If I come to your house and put a God to mothers head and tell her to suck my dick or I'll kill her...that's free-will, right? I'm giving her a choice ! "Worship me or die" is not free-will. You are a coward and THAT is why you believe in God.

"Some of those idols being Moloch, and Golden God with outstretched arms that these people would heat up cherry red and drop their babies in the middle off as sacrifices. We're not exactly talking about model citizens here." Wow..just wow...here you speak of killing babies as bad..yet your God does it and demands his followers does it. Why is it ok for YOUR God to kill babies but not others Gods? And why is ok for God to kill people that have other Gods? You are truly sick going out of your way to justify God's murderous nature. I posted MANY verses. Go ahead, defend them all. You'll be twisting like a pretzel.

" Deuteronomy 13:13-19 "

This is the exact same thing as the 2 Chronicles verse I explained above. You basically have very evil and wicked people here, not Mormons who decided they no longer wanted to be Catholics, or baptist deciding they wanted to become atheists. You have people who not only turned away from God, but lived a very Satanic life that would make today's radical Islam look tame by comparison.

" Deuteronomy 13:7-12 "

Same thing as the above two verses.

" Isaiah 14:21 "

Same.

" Ezekiel 9:5-7 '

Same here. What you need understand also is that these weren't just humans with a different way of living God didn't like. These were literally demonic people. Some of them were even genetically hideous looking because of it with extra fingers, and larger than normal statures.

This was a spiritual as well as genetic thing God was trying to deal with. While God and the bible's way may seem barbaric to a politically correct modern mind, it's understandable when you considering how small evil beginnings can flourish into destroying a nation. We're currently seeing that very thing her in the USA right now. This is why God dealt so harshly with evil.

" Jeremiah 51:20-26 "

I'm not really sure what your problem is with this verse. This is simply God proclaiming retaliation for what the Babylonians did to Israel..

" Leviticus 26:21-22 "

Once again. I'm not sure what your problem is with this verse. God is telling them that sin has consequences, and it does. He's simply letting them know what sin brings.

" 1 Samuel 15:2-3, "

This verse is God proclaiming that he will punish the Amalekites. A very evil people who sacrificed their children to idols. I'm not sure what your issues is there. Only an evil God wouldn't punish people like the Amalekites.

" Ezekiel 35:7-9, "

This passage here you left out verse 5 where God explains precisely why he's punishing this nation. I'll post it below.

Ezekiel 35:5

5 Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end,

" Exodus 32:26-29, "

This verse here is right after just about the whole nation of Israel rebelled against God by engaging in huge group orgies and sacrificed children and animals to the golden calf. God was more than justified in what he did here.

" shall I go on? "

Please do go on.

You haven't explained crap. You've dodged. Your WW2 example..if you think the U.S. had the capability to end it without killing women and children do you think we would have done it? Your statement admits God is who I say he, cruel and heartless,..or that he is NOT what you say he is. It's an admission by you that God has no other plan but to kill and murder. He, in HID infinite wisdom, cannot find a better way to resolve conflicts? You condone and rationalize God's atrocities so yes, I stand by my statement that you are sick. IF God was all-knowing and all powerful why did he create evil in the first place except for his enjoyment? Take man out of the equaition. He designed animals to kill and devour other animals..especially vulnerable ones..like babies..he has and obsession with killing babies. Wjy don'y you just admit you worship God because you are a coward and you are afriad if you don't and he IS real he's going to sell you to Hell. That's why Russians worshipped Stalin, why Germans worshipped Hitler, add Pol Pot, and the rest.

This is very true. Without God, there'd be no absolute standards.
