How do we know God is "Good"?

Or any children who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah?

So children and babies can be "not righteous?"

Right after you show me where it says that God wants you to wuss out of considering difficult moral issues.

Hell, I'll go you one better. Can you show me two towns, any place on Earth, past or present, where humans live together in clans, villages, or cities, who are specifically identified as screwing like monkeys in heat, in a time before birth control, where there aren't any children?

What does that matter? There are plenty of people on Earth I'm not in a position to punish, but I still know they're doing wrong. Many of them are in Government."Authority" and "power" are not synonymous with "good".

So what? We're asking if God did something bad. "God said it was okay" isn't really an effective defense. If he does something bad, sure. You feel guilty for pointing out when someone does something wrong? Then why would he have to kill them? Give it thirty years, (which apparently is nothing to God) and they'll all grow old and die, without leaving anyone to carry on their wicked ways.

So God is never wrong because God is never wrong.Got it. Those damn babies, asking for it like that... wallowing in their own sin with no shame at all... No, thank you for supporting the idea that belief in Christianity demands that you not put any thought into what you read.It's a simple scenario, Mike. Two towns that screw all the time. No birth control. Both towns are destroyed, none survive.But no babies were killed, because... y'know, no babies were killed. Besides, that would be wrong, and God is never wrong because God is never wrong.

Probably the same reason all those martyrs chose to be eaten by lions rather than bow to an unjust authority.

So the people of Sodom and Gomorrah weren't screwing like bunnies?You do know how babies are made, right Mike?And I notice you don't say anything about the male children in Egypt.

Yep. How 'bout 'em? Gee, Mike. Where does it say God made the women of the cities barren? Quote please!

Yes it does, Mike. If they were adults, there would be no need to define them by their parents. That's idiotic. The assumption is that people who screw all the time without birth control will have babies. It's just common sense. If you want to provide a reason why there are no babies, you have to show us why you think that.Anyway, I don't really see the point in continuing this. You pretty much admitted to Ned that you were defending an idiotic position. And apparently the goal in doing so is... to make God look good?Might want to rethink tactics there, Mike.

It said they had lots of sex. Since sex is how babies are made, those who were having sex would have had babies. It says God killed everyone in both cities.There you go. You want to avoid the obvious conclusion, feel free to tell us why. Why would we? Christ has nothing to do with Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues of Egypt, or the flood. He wasn't even born yet. Cool. Scripture tells us God killed everyone at Sodom and Gamorrah, everyone in the world with the flood, and all the firstborn males in Egypt. Scripture says nothing about any bizarre childless societies. (Which you'd think would really be something someone would write down. "And check this shit out... there were no kids! How weird is that?")Observe that scripture, Mike. So let's see if we can sum up... Mike is saying that there were no firstborn male children in Egypt... that there were no children in either Sodom or Gamorrah... and that there were no children anywhere on the planet at the time of the flood.I gotta tell you Mike, this is getting funnier and funnier. You're really making Christians look retarded.

But it does say that everyone on Earth was killed. If you're saying no babies were killed, then you are saying there were no babies on Earth.And if you're not saying that no babies were killed, then what exactly is your point? Can you please rephrase this abortion of a sentence for me? As it stands, it seems to have nothing to do with what I said. See above. If there were babies to be found in any of these situations, then there was baby death.You can repeat "but it doesn't specifically mention the babies" as many times as you want. But it still boils down to you defending the asinine idea that there were no babies to be found in any of these societies. (One of these societies being the planet Earth.)

Oh Mike, I think you've made them extremely relevant to this topic.

God said:1) Everyone on Earth was killed in the flood.
2) Everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah was killed by God.
3) Every first born male in Egypt was killed.Babies, last I checked, fall under the category of "everyone". See how relevant words like "retarded" and "idiotic" are here, Mike?If there were people... especially ones who are specifically identified as having sex all the time... then there were babies. So basically, you're saying that if you ignore the obvious implications of the Bible, then you won't have to think about the fact that God killed babies.
