So tell me, what do you think will happen with Moses sleeps with the virgin mary?
That is not even phrased grammatically correctly. Try again.

The world would be a far, far worse place if more people considered genocide and slavery acceptable, as you do. It's no coincidence that we live in a relatively peaceful society in the West; the decline of christianity into the current snivelling, self-deprecating form it takes has taken most of the stupidity and bigotry out of people.
That is the thing, we are slaves to sin. We were dead in our transgressions. Then Jesus dies for us to save us from the grip of sin. We now get to live a new life, free from the chains of sin.
Yet some people find it hard to embrace the new life to the point where they would want to go back to the old ways. Look at how the Israelite's wanted to go back to Egypt, back into slavery. We are no different to them.
The denial of sin is proof that sin has power over you. You would do anything to defend it, even deny the existence of God. What you perceive to be your best friend is in fact your worst enemy and what you perceive to be your worst enemy is in fact your best friend.
What am I saying? I'm merely saying that you are one of those people under slavery and yet you accept your slavery and even deny that you are under slavery, which you are.
Where is the West exactly? Whereabouts do we need to spread the good news to those who are under slavery?

I guess you would have found a very similar mind-frame when talking to the general public of early 1940's Germany. Your god, as he appears in your holy text, is the perfect example of a tyrant. Honestly, even if I did believe, I sure as hell wouldn't worship someone who could potentially get pissed at my ancestors and order me to be killed, along with my children... thank god he doesn't exist (hue)
Yet show me the example of where he is a tyrant. I already explained that his ways are just. He even told the Israelite's what would happen if they spared a few lives. Look at Numbers 24 and Numbers 25.

I'm sure that gives your life some meaning, at least. Reminds me of that French chick on Lost who was transmitting her SOS message for decades, with noone around to receive it
My whole life's purpose is to ensure that as many people as possible will come to know and accept Jesus Christ into their lives. On that day when you meet your maker, you will get on your knees and confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
How do I know this? Romans 14:11 - It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'"
Where is that quote from? Isaiah 45:23 - By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
