Like, Christians in general don't care too much about the old testament. If you want to engage them in meaningful debate (street epistemology) it will do you no good to point any of that out. They will just assume you don't understand their position and need their help
Thing is........it is still the same god supposedly so unless he underwent a complete personality change he has a bloody weird moral compass. Does the new testament specifically SAY you shouldn't have slaves, abuse children and women and gays or are they morals that humans have made up without the bible's say so?
@MsDemeanour I am not here to defend the Bible. I am trying to explain how to construct arguments that Christians won't dismiss as trival. Look up the Abrogation of Romans
