= Atheist Debate
The outright denial or refusal to accept that a God exists is an untenable position because it cannot be proven (you cannot prove a negative). However, the Atheist is free to give his //opinion// on why he does not believe in God, or does not believe a God exists.

As we have found this primarily falls into the category of errors or inadequacies in the Bible; the athiest does not ‘believe in God’ because he views the Bible as a flawed work. Secondarily the Athiest will often disagree with the moral theology of the Bible and thus reject the God which it represents.

These errors and inadequacies invariably entertain to impeach the accepted nature of God, i.e. omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, benevolent, and so forth. They generally do not contrast between various theologies such as entertaining a Jewish response to Christianity, since the Atheist is not really interested in disproving Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc. but in the very existence or ‘worth’ of a God. Thus the issues on this page should be limited to purely Atheist concerns against the bible and God in general. Debates centering around the applicability of theology in a denominational sense probably belong elsewhere.

=== The Inaccuracies of RiceRay
* [[Two Creation Stories]]
* [[Ezekiel 26 is historically inaccurate]]
* [[Haggai 2 is inaccurate]] God is angry because he doesn't have a temple, house .. corner stones, flip it.. bless you -- Haggai 2 says don't worry the temple is shitty because I will destroy the nations... and the 2nd temple will be greater than the temple of solomon -- this never happened, the 2nd temple was destroyed by the romans
* [[Passover Lamb]] -- to boil or not to boil? Deuteronomy vs. Exodus -- Chronicles, rediscovers .. how do i cook the passover? he boils it in fire --> roast in exodus, boil in deu
* [[Daniel and Minor Prophets]] -- persia and greece -- alexadner defeats persia, daniel mentions greece-- alex dies, kingdoms split into four, in egypt you have ptolemy in the south, in the north cellucids, daniel calls them the king of the south and the king of the north, out of the cellucids the little horn comes out, ==antiochus . this man will try to attack egypt, and will be ultimately pushed back by the romans, ships of the italians/romans, he will go back to israel, set up the abomination of desolation, and then he will fight with the stars, threow them on the ground, killed by not human hands, but by michael -- the problem is the part where michael stands up and defeats antiochus epiphany never happened
** The main enemy is greece -- the kingdom is greece, not rome. Michael defeats greece, not rome.
*** Still waiting for michael to defeat rome
*** The NT shifts the enemy from greece to rome.
** Zecchariah 'on that day the lord will assemble all the nations of the earth to fight against jerusalem...' but god did not fight for them, this never happened. this also relates to haggai 2


* does exodus take precedence because its older, or are we allowed to choose what we want?
