"It is a compilation of the type things that you say all the time"

Yes, of course...more nonsense from you.

"You say you don't believe in objective morals, but....come on, admit it, you think God did some screwed up things, don't you?""

What I have discussed from time to time on this thread is the clear lack of any evidence or suggestion of Absolute morals--i.e. morals which do not relate in any way to subjective sense or sensibility.

I think the mythological Gods represented the imaginations of human beings and therefore were as moral and/or as immoral as the culture and times in which they were invented--just as they were as wise or as ignorant as those fabulists who exploited the gullibility of others or left their mad mental illnesses on clay or paper.

Is there an Absolute wisdom? NO. Is their an Absolute ignorance? NO. Can we use reason to separate sense from nonsense? YES. Can we use reason to determine what is better or worse, more helpful or more hurtful? YES.

Yes...the "morality" of "Yahweh", when judged by modern civilized standards of reason and science, was more than "some screwed up things". It was monstrous and bestial...at the furthest remove from modern standards of culture, sensibility, justice, and compassion. And anyone who can cheer the genocide of innocent people in some brutal old tribal scribblings--is far removed from any sense of human society--or the commonality of human thought and emotion--needs and desires. Such people were never intended to walk upright.
