Why would God write a book of lies and why would you worship such a being?

This might be worth pursuing? After all, if you believe in the literal interpretation of the bible, you will have to accept that killing every man, woman, and child of a city to rob it of gold, silver, and brass is morally right. And don't even think you can weasel your way out of this.

There's nothing to weasel out of since it isn't the point of the topic.This thread isn't about morality and it isn't about the literal reading of the Bible. It is about how those who worship God as a Christian can do so given that they don't believe that the Bible stories are all historically true.Stick to what is presented in the OP and not what you know of the author's beliefs.Christians use various methods of Bible interpretation, but this thread is not about literalism.

jar,On the religious side, one still needs to provide support for their position. If one says that the Bible says "blah blah", then one needs to provide the scripture that supports that statement.If someone says that facts are supported by actual evidence outside the Bible, then that evidence needs to be provided.Please provide support for your comments.Thanks
