The good ol' book is fiction. It was written by humans, not God. There is nothing but worthless rhetorical non-sense that says that it was written by "divinely inspired" humans.
I could spend my entire life writing a "Holy book" that contains many simple truths, along with fictional accounts of God. I could spend decades perfecting it and teaching people to live by it, and while much of it would be true, the parts that claim to be "facts" would just never be.
No true prophecy in the Bible has ever come to pass. Oh, sure, you can say "well, the Bible said that one day people will reject God, and it came true!" It's called a vague prediction that will inevitably occur thousands of times over thousands of years. Furthermore, the predictions that are "not so vague" are complete and utter non-sense.
"Ooh, be good and do your chores cause God will send you to Hell if you don't respect me."
Filthy tripe.
Celestial girl maybe you didn't understand my post I said there is no god or judgement day, but if there was a "good" God (as christians belive) he would accpt ev3eryone (which he won't since he doesn't exist) and I said bad people should be opunished not by a non-existant God but by Humans and not becuase of revenge or any other feelings but just because they might harm humanity again.
So I never said there was a God and you could have read that in my post too.
Omnibenevolence.
God is willing to accept everyone, it is their own actions that determine wether or not they will be accepted.
If you are omnipotent yes. And of course it is his fault cause there is no equality someone that was born and raised in a ghetto is not worse or better then someone who was born in a "good" family but he is surely mmore liklely to commit a serious crime.
Sins can be forgiven, if you ask. We will all falter because we are are all imperfect. Its not about being perfect, its about trying to do whats best and asking for forgiveness when you do whats wrong.
For the rest, refer above.

Do you know nothing? Heck if it was that hard I'd probably be on my way to hell right now but I'm not-new testament bud.

Obviously, he created us, if he really cared that much that we obey his rules, he would have created us to be mindless drones who did exactly as he pleased. "Free will" is also a load of shit, because god could've just as easily created us to only be capable of obeying a set of rules. Sometimes I wonder if the Christian god has the personality of some ****ed-up ten year old who likes melting plastic army men with a magnifying glass.
