Circumcision is common in the modern age, but how did it become common? Think about it, you are sawing off part of the genitalia of a child! Is it not odd that it upsets us when theists do it to women, but when they do it to male babies it’ s just what God commanded? How disgusting, and why on earth are we mutilating infants in this day and age!
After we have sawn off a part of their body we teach them to fear the God that they are supposed to love with the nasty story of Noah’ s Ark. I was told this story as a child as if it was some fun children’ s story. Essentially, God made flawed creations and then commands them to be perfect. Then, because they aren’ t being perfect, he decides to ruthlessly murder every creature except the ones on the ark. What a petty and malicious God to go along with an already horrible story. It sounds like a capricious child playing with ants on a sidewalk. And, why do all of the other creatures on earth have to die for this God to murder the humans? Couldn’ t the omnipotent one come up with a better plan for their extermination? If this were true then the God of the bible would be worse than Hitler, in that he committed mass genocides so that he could breed his ultimate race. His prejudice, jealousy, and mistake in creation shows that this God would certainly not be omniscient or omnipotent. The God of the Bible also had no quarrel with slavery. As a matter of fact, he supported it and instructed one on how to attain, hold, and treat their slaves.
People are always saying that those who don’ t believe in God can’ t be moral. I, however, can’ t see how theists can be moral. The God of the Bible says multiple times to kill homosexuals, fornicators, non-believers, adulterers, disobeying children, people of other religions, and anyone who works on the Sabbath. So my question to them is why, if they’ re not going to follow the word of their God, are they worshipping him? Why not subscribe to a more peaceful and loving belief system?
