Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

“If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)


Not sure how those verses relate to the thread.

Romans 1:18-20
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.



What truth, in your opinion, are atheists suppressing, and how? I would argue the opposite: theism and faith in particular require the surrender of one's intellectual faculties.

You cant pick n choose the faith.

You can make up your own. Is that what you do?

Only follow the logical verses?

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

There are even stranger passages than the ones you mentioned - I particularly like the one about cutting a woman's hand off if she grabs a dude's rod during a fistfight :lol:

And then there are the downright obscene ones, ones that demonstrate the lengths of depravity one must reason themselves into to condone...

That one verse admits all verses are made up and inspired by god correct?

To the OP, the answer is a combination of the below:

* Lack of objective critical thinking and self criticism
* Indoctrination and peer pressure from friends / family from an early age
* Self doubt / fear of the unknown
