Re: a few glitches
I believe hes is talking about the following
KJV Ex 1 writes:
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive
ABE
plus the following verse
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Re: a few glitches
The Atheist has a need to convince herself that any supposed God has no need to exist or do anything.
I disagree. The Atheist simply rejects the idea of a mystical, supernatural entity. I don't have to convince myself because I see no evidence to indicate there is such an entity. If could show evidence of such then I might question my rejection of the concept.

Re: a few glitches
I don't think you are being completely honest with your own self here.
Rather than just reject the idea of a mystical supernatural entity, you reinforce your rejection with a challenge to the theist to show complete consistancy with some doctrine of divine omniscience.
Hoping to expose logical inconistancies with taking an idea to the Nth degree accomplished for you (or so you think) justifying belief in God is unjustified.
The point I am making is not that the supernatural idea is wrong, but this supernatural entity is given every human quality, good & bad.
The point I am making is that there is no evidence that a supernatural "being" exists. Given a supernatural force could explain the situation, but gods are not stated as forces, but as thinking, acting beings that happen to be above life and above the forces with control the universe. Look at the concept itself. When did man start believing in gods? When he couldn't explain the existance of something, like the sun, moon, rain, the seasons, animals etc.
He invented the anthropomorphic being or beings, giving them human, with superhuman qualities. That is the concept I reject. That is the concept that there is no evidence of.
