uche40: The first thing I'd like you to note is that the said child was reabilitated through the efforts of a mother who won't give up and a behavioural specialist. This is important because, firstly in the context of the bible, I don't believe behavioural specialists were around in those times, hence such a means of rehabilitation would be unfeasible (assuming it takes the same framework to rehabilitate such children, a loving parent and a behavioural specialist) Second, in a lot of cases, it's not just one child that left behind. There are usually thousands. As the leader of a nation who is already trying to take care of your own people, it would not be wise to sink so much resources into the rehabilitation of the children of the enemy (Each child will have to be found a loving parent and a behavioural specialist following our mock model. Even if we attach several children to one parent and/or behavioural specialist the effect does not compound because the resources are spilt many ways and it my take far longer for them to rehabilitate if they do at all) One would have to house and feed all these children while they are being transferred to a home with a loving parent and being found a behavioural specialist. And don't forget that as the children of an enemy state, not a lot of people would be willing to show the child such unconditional love, and assigning the child to an unloving parent would just lead to the build up of resentment which may explode in your face should you come under attack (the children will definitely not help to defend you from an enemy and in most cases will aid the enemy even at the cost of their lives). And even if they are outliers who haven't been indoctrinated and may successfully reintegrate with society (assuming the people of your own nation don't take care of them first; the resentment works both ways), it would take a lot of time and resources to comb through all of them and pick out those good ones, and the possibility is still high that you'll miss a few. uche40: God doesn't impose His will on mankind, man imposes his will on mankind. It was the Israelites that decided to go to war, and they always went to God asking what they should do in the war. God only answered accordingly. |

jasminer: It's weak on your side because I was highlighting the fact that Jesus predicting floods and famine has nothing to do with him being responsible for those disasters. You brought it up as a defense to support sending cultists to torture your children. So you got yourself confused, probably you didn't even understand the point you were trying to make. ![]() |

jasminer: Comprehension is really something you lack tbh. Nobody asked you if you'll defend your family. Read again, 10 times and answer accordingly. I know it makes you uncomfortable but you can't avoid it. If those men come back to kill off your remaining family members, you'll shine teeth instead of getting them arrested? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So if pesin kill all your family, you go dey pray for their safety, instead make you call police?

jasminer: An atheist could believe in spiritual activities, that is very correct because atheism means the lack of belief in a god. So any atheist can believe in whatever as long as it's not the belief that a god exists. So atheism has nothing to do with defending beastiality, evolution or whatever you think you might bring up to score points. |

You said morals are meant for him to decide. So how can you turn around to say he can never declare such? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wasn't he the one condoning slavery and asking men to slaughter babies? So why do you think he won't declare rape moral? Isn't slaughtering a baby more gruesome than rape? You have to answer that question let's know where you stand. And your swine question is not insulting. After all, it's just a question. ![]() Since you said only this god can decide what's moral or not, then will you accept rape to be morally objective if he declares it okay? That your opinion or choice must be respected does not mean it can't be questioned. So you must answer. ![]() |

suicidesheep: Forced marriage is not rape and a wife is a wife. By merely choosing her for marriage, she's automatically an Israeli and Israelis can't enslave a fellow Israeli. Back to the topic in question, according to Jewish traditions of those days, such a woman must be given one full month period to mourn her dead family And to prepare her mind for the marriage. And if he changes his mind about marrying her, she's to go free and not to be sold or exchanged for anything. |

If the government releases them tomorrow, good for them. I'm not bothered. Mind you, my father's killers aren't in prison.

jasminer: Well, Christianity isn't a game. It's a religion. jasminer: God could have said it. How are you going to know? Can you read the mind of God? Can you understand his thought process perfectly enough to understand his plans, will and objectives at a certain point in time? You can't be 100% sure if they were or weren't commanded by God. I always hear Christians say "God knows the best" whenever something disastrous happens to them. Note that God is omniscient and omnipotent, and so no activity or event happens on this earth without his foreknowledge. Let me rephrase your question and throw it back at you: Do you think I'm obligated to believe anything you claim about your experience with God simply because you said it? jasminer: What moral basis are you using to justify and/or presuppose God's righteousness? I can already guess that you'll point to your Bible, the works of Jesus Christ, or something that might even be unrelated to the Bible. However, it is at this juncture that I will gladly jolt your memory to the fact that by assuming God to be origin of morality, you have stripped yourself of ANY independent moral criterion you can use to classify Gods actions. In light of this, if you choose to claim that God is good because it says so in the Bible, or because of Jesus or the present state of the world, then it means you already have a logically prior criterion that you use to assess what is good and what is bad, and this criterion is independent of God's existence. This will be a complete 180 degrees turn around from your initial position that God is the arbiter or source of moral values. In fact you would only end up proving the atheists' argument -- in a hilarious case of irony -- that morality and religion are independent of each other. jasminer: The capacity to understand another person's condition from their own perspective is not unique to religious ideologies. Evolutionary Psychology shows that empathy (which is the father of your conscience) helps to increase pro-social behavior. A united group is a stronger group, and a group can achieve higher levels of success in hunting, protection etc. and by implication, are well suited for breeding healthy offsprings than a bunch of isolated individuals. This is not speculation, but rather insight gained from hard, empirical research. Consider reading the full entry of the link below. I'll just post a small excerpt: The mere sight of suffering, independently of love, would suffice to call up in us vivid recollections and associations. The explanation may lie in the fact that, with all animals, sympathy is directed solely towards the members of the same community, and therefore towards known, and more or less beloved members, but not to all the individuals of the same species. This fact is not more surprising than that the fears of many animals should be directed against special enemies. Species which are not social, such as lions and tigers, no doubt feel sympathy for the suffering of their own young, but not for that of any other animal. With mankind, selfishness, experience, and imitation, probably add, as Mr. Bain has shown, to the power of sympathy; for we are led by the hope of receiving good in return to perform acts of sympathetic kindness to others; and sympathy is much strengthened by habit. In however complex a manner this feeling may have originated, as it is one of high importance to all those animals which aid and defend one another, it will have been increased through natural selection; for those communities, which included the greatest number of the most sympathetic members, would flourish best, and rear the greatest number of offspring. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Darwin/Descent/descent4.htm jasminer: I typically dismiss arguments appealing to anecdotes or personal testimonies because I have no empirical means of verying it, and there's always the probability that the subject misremembered the events s/he's accounting for, or is intentionally distorting the facts. As to your claim that God never changes. Sure, he may never change. But you also believe he rules and reigns forever. He still communicates with his faithful servants today. He can use anybody and instruct them to do his bidding. God used Samson to terrorize the Philistines. From the viewpoint of the Philistines, Samson was an unhinged and unstable deviant. We all know how his story ended. You might make the claim that the Philistines were evil and committed numerous sins against God. But in Nigeria and the world at large, aren't we mostly living like godless people today, committing sins as described by the Bible? In light of this, what gives you the right to condemn people who commit seemingly unethical acts and insist that they were commanded by God to punish the evil doers? You're not the only person who claims to have a special relationship with God. What gives you the right to assume that God definitely didn't command them? We can only guess. We can't be certain that they were led by demonic spirits. 1) Search up on the Centennial Olympic Park Bombing of 1996. Eric Robert Rudolph carried out bombing attacks on two abortion clinics and a nightclub. He was inspired by God to bring judgement upon sinners and "baby killers". He wasn't a mass murderer, he was only carrying out God's instructions. 2) Benjamin Matthew Williams and James Tyler Williams murdered a gay couple in 1999. They were said to belong to a family of fundamental Christians. 3) The Army of God is an American Christian Terrorist organization who have instigated many acts of anti-abortion violence. You don't have any right to condemn the aforementioned as misguided or evil because they are just a drop in an ocean of Christians who claim to receive divine instruction from the Lord. You cannot tell for certain that they were not inspired by the Holy Spirit. And you cannot discount their testimonies any more than I can discount yours. jasminer: So? There are many variations of this platitude that are independent of belief in the Christian God. jasminer: ![]() Nevertheless, your claim here accidentally refutes the relevance of the Old Testament since you're suggesting that we couldn't follow those laws in the first place. Makes me wonder why the Old Testament was included in the Bible at all. jasminer: Well, he seemed to favor the Israelites over all other tribes and nations in the Bible, bringing down empires for the benefit of his "chosen people". I've ignored the remaining paragraphs because I've already addressed the arguments you make in some of them above. And I also want to be careful not to make this rejoinder too lengthy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jasminer: And God permitted the conception of war since nothing on this earth happens without his foreknowledge. He even takes the liberty to support a particular side in these wars. jasminer: This assumes that an omnipotent and omniscient deity who advocates peace, love, mercy and forgiveness, does not have the capacity to prevent conflict and fighting among neighboring countries. He also cannot think up other means to avert conflict and ensure peace and harmony between these countries, while still ensuring that his plan for man is fulfilled. You have not answered my question. Please consider the implications of certain arguments before you make them. In the meantime, I will take your refusal to provide an answer to my initial question about the day old infant as an admission that there exists no instance where a day old infant can actually pose a direct threat to your life. 1 Like |

uche40: It's Christianity that's in the question here and so it must be discussed according to the words of the Bible and only according to the words of the Bible, not what anyone says. You can't discuss Christianity and it's doctrines from the standpoint of an atheist and if that's what we're doing... Let me come and be going because the Gospel of salvation to them that perish is foolishness but to them that believe, it's the power of God unto salvation. Even when I read or reason with Muslims, I do so solely based on the tenets of the Qur'an or the Hadiths. Not based on what the founder of ISIS says because he claims to be a Muslim. 1. Christianity isn't a religion, it's a way of life. Christian means Christ like. 2. I can tell the mind of God because it's written in the Bible... He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. Psalm 103 vs 7. So even if a million people come and say God said this, as long as it contradicts the Bible, they are all wrong. Simple and Short! And if you claim this is what Christianity is about, quote a scripture to back it up. 3. You're not obligated to believe what I told you about my relationship with God simply because I said it, but you're also obligated to not believe what someone else said about God because they said it. You're only obligated to believe what the Bible says about God. Anything outside that is double standards. 4. God didn't modify his law, his laws don't break, even Jesus confirmed that one jot can't pass from the law. Jesus fulfilled all that's required in the old testament and gave a compound or royal law which is love your neighbour as yourself and serve your God with all your strength, all your soul and all your heart. I'm willing to expantiate on this if you request it. There's no law in the bible that says we can't inherit the righteousness of an ancestor. Just the same way all humanity inherited Adam and eve's fall from Grace, all Christians inherit the fulfilment of the law through Christ. Romans 5 vs 17, Matthew 5 vs 18. 5. The Old testament was included in the Bible as a reminder to us or for an example. 1Chorinthians 10 vs 11 6. Every father has a right to love an obedient child over a corrupt and disobedient one. Same way, God has a right to love Israel who attempts to live morally sound compared to other countries where canibalism, incest, sexual immorality and gross perversion was the order of the day. |
