I was just in a thread about Christians hating gay people and I saw so many falacious arguments made by athiests. I would like to debunk a few of them, but before I begin, I would like to state that I am not a Christian, I am a Jew. You cannot use any of the New Testement against me, as I do not believe in it. Also, it should be noted that I am just a kid and am not claiming to know a lot about the Bible, I am only responding to a few falacious arguments. I will know a single post on the tenth page of a thread will not be read, so I have decided to create another thread to discuss a few of the ideas from the previous thread. 1. Many people stated that the Bible has contradictions, but failed to list any. Can someone please tell me what contradictions there are in the Old Testement? 2. Someone posted that the "stupid book" has been rewritten many times. It has never been rewritten, only retranslated. 3. One person argued that if we are not supposed to be homosexual, why does homosexuality exist? One could make this argument about any sin and the answer is to reward us more for choosing to listen to God and fight off our inclination to do sin. 4. Someone tried to ask why God demands death to sinners if he loves all people? The answer is so that they can pay for their sins. Part of repentence is facing the consequences. However, in Judaism, we are not allowed to carry out killings without having the Temple in Jerusalem. If anyone has any serious questions then feel free to post on this thread of private message me. I have to go now. Please message me if you have what you believe to be contradcting verses or if you have any questions.

The Bible obviously does not follow the rules of Science, so it's easy for people to argue that it's illogical.

1.)- In Joshua all people of the promised land are killed that are Canaanites. Later, in Judges, there are Canaanites that enslave the Israelites. 2.)- There are 2 different stories of the flood. 3.)- There are 2 different creation stories.

because apparently we all came from two humans, which means that we are all born from a chain of incest

Religion does not have to be logical. Religion is what we believe in. We can't rely on science "all" the time
