As an insult absolutely, in some interpretations surely.

In every reasonable interpretation. If god exists and is sufficiently powerful, every death is his choice. If god is not powerful enough for us to know he is there, we don't assume he is.

Theism is unreasonable. It's a form of magical thinking.

In the christian bible, which I'll remind you most christians consider to be important, he explicitly demands human sacrifice and commits murders and genocides.

No, I never got that vibe from any of them. I have heard people claim it though but then used the bible to see how clearly that is not the case. I don’t think those people read the same version.

It's explicit.

What was that John 3:16 verse again?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 5:

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Zephaniah 3:

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

1 John 3:

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Psalm 86:

But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Laughable, considering god's behavior in the old testament. But the book says it's love, and the book says it's true, so stupid people like my parents believe.

Deuteronomy 7:

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations

We get a twofer in Ephesians 2:

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ

And in Jeremiah 31:

The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

Etc.

No, because there is no a singular book that is the entire bible, biblical literature as a collection i can believe though but dont know much about asian literature to compare.

It's the one called "the christian bible".

No because they cant even agree wich text is and is not the bible. They never did

You forgot the research I cited before.

A majority of U.S. Christians say the Bible is extremely important or very important in their lives

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/importance-of-religion-and-the-bible/

I acknowledge that it also says:

The vast majority of members of historically Black Protestant denominations, evangelical Protestants, and Latter-day Saints say the Bible is extremely or very important in their lives. Fewer than half of mainline Protestants and Catholics say this.

But those protestants and catholics are factually wrong, the bible is the basis for many of their beliefs.

This is one of my points: even if YOU don't think the bible is very important in your life, someone else does, and their actions as a result are impacting your life every day.

Of course. Thats why critical thinking skills are so important.

I agree, which is partly why I find it so frustrating to talk to you. You seem capable, but your blind spots are huge and you reject reality. You pretend it's more moral to tolerate willful ignorance than to correct it.

For some that may be the case but agnostic beliefs don’t always work that way.

Lol. Please think about it. Agnostic beliefs still drive choices, it's ridiculous to claim otherwise.

Do you know any person at all who is completely mindless, no brain, yet still makes choices? I don't. I don't see how it's possible. Our brains process our experiences into beliefs which, combined with other aspects of our biology, result in conscious or subconscious decisions and physical actions.

What do you think prompts human beings to act, if not their beliefs?
