…and around we go.

Once again Marcus has responded, but seems to miss the point of my arguments so far. In typical deluded theist fashion he has once again failed to give me an adequate explanation for the arguments put forward, and quotes the Bible as if it’s some kind of authoritative source.
Marcus raises a few points which I cannot help respond to, but not for the reasons you might think. There are statements in his latest reply which really underline the fact that no amount of evidence or rational, logical constructions will convince him otherwise. He has made up his mind, and nothing will convince him otherwise.
So this will be my last reply to Marcus, but not because I think he has won or I am painted into a corner. I am slowly learning that people need to come to their senses in their own time, in their own way. My hope with these conversations has always to be to drop that one gem of doubt and questioning into someone’s mind – as happened to me. I realise now that this is largely a pointless exercise. These people are sent for our amusement, and should not be engaged in meaningful debate unless you have countless hours to waste.
As usual, Marcus’s responses are quoted below, with my comments underneath.

Atheists Have No Morals
May 29
So atheists have no morals, yet those who follow God (usually meaning Yahweh) have a moral compass to guide them. Have these “pastors” even read the Bible? The God of the Old Testament is personally responsible for the most horrific crimes in the history of fiction. Let’s run through a short list of atrocities God is personally responsible for:
- Sends Satan down to Earth for rebelling against him in Heaven, thus dooming mankind to temptation.
- Is pissed the magic talking snake convinced the stupid woman to eat a fruit.
- Kills every living thing in the planet is a catastrophic flood.
- Destroys two cities with fire and brimstone for being wicked.
- Turns Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt for having a peek at the fireworks.
- Drowns the armies in opposition to his chosen people.
- Kills the first born of an entire country because the Pharaoh annoyed him.
- Takes human form as his own son and amazes people with magic tricks and asks everyone to be nice to each other for a change. For this he is killed.
- People rejoice at the horror and wear the symbol of barbaric execution for centuries to come.
- Writes a book which is so ambiguous it causes multiple divisions amongst believers leading to persecution, suffering, and wars.
- Instructs people who believe in him to kill heathens where they stand, or to treat those with different sexual preferences as sub-human.
I could go on, but you get the point.
What I find particularly disgusting about Steve Harvey’s opinion is that it was not that long ago that black people could not vote, were forced onto separate buses, could not marry who they wished with complete freedom and deprived of many other basic human rights. Biblical passages were used to support this position since the Bible does not prohibit slavery – on the contrary, it actively supports it.
This idiot is now turning around and doing exactly the same thing to another minority – fucking hypocrite!
