I don't agree to say that one side is faith and the other is logic. For instance I hold a pro-christian point of view in my answer to permalite, but it is all based on logic and congruence of the accounts we have of the Jesus story. Faith only strengthens my senses.

Exactly!

If the Bible is supposedly a "historical" account, then the Religion has a brutal and bloody history... And I cannot possibly support it... And I honestly don't think anyone should.

Well. It's like having a conversation with someone, you take them at face value until you have the evidence that says otherwise.
You have to give them the benefit of a doubt.

Same goes with the Middle-Eastern, Abrahamic Religions like Christianity, Islam and Judaism, you need to take their statements at face value and not twist things around to be something different.

Sarcasm is a bit different.
But you are correct, that in any serious context you need to take it at face value until you have the evidence that says otherwise. (Like myself stating I am not being serious.)

The reason why people still believe in one has many reasons. Most of them have an beneficial background which can be provided in the form of paradise. Something like that can only be given by a god. People who hold such reason are seen as false believers by me. But that last remark is besides the point. 

Dictators use fear as a motivator to control their people. In god's case it would be the fear of eternal torture in hell.

So, will a god be worshipped who gives neither, a reward nor a punishment?

Humans are selfish people who mostly act on something that can be beneficial to them. That's how we evolved and that's how we live.

Because this is a thread about Christianity, and Christianity is not a litteral religion, it has to be read with logic and insight.

While ALL sin, without descrimination, is deserving of death, God forgives. If it was not deserving of death or punishment, then forgiveness would not be required. So it is not one (judgement) or the other (blind kindness), but both judhement and kindness.

To understand Christianity requires a much greater amount of intelligence than people like to put in to understand it, a lot more actually trying to understand what it says. Without such good will, it is imoossible to understand it, hence why the bible old and new Testament says to search earnestly, only then can you find answers therein. It is also terribly sad that most who disbelieve do so in the name of reason, but I wholeheartedly see it the other way around.

I'm on a mobile phone and so I will have to put labels to properly quote-reply.

LOGIC: I gave you a few examples that used logic to explain the verses you were using to paint Jesus in a negative light. With logic I tried to walk you through how your interpretation of scripture was not reasonable. If you read over my explanations properly, you will see that they are very logical and are based on reasoning multiple passages to get the right idea and avoid misinterpretation. With this alone I show that it is possible to use reason in the realm of faith. I only need one example to proove that it is possible to apply reason and faith together.

FAIRNESS: This one is very difficult to answer, but boils down to the understanding of sin and repentance, and I do feel your pain in trying to make sense of it, especially as a professional in the field of saving lives. However, I will try to explain it.

According to Christianity, God does not see sin as we do. For him, sin is not about a moment in time where a crime was made, and a judgement at time X, because God is infinite and unbound by time. Instead, sin is seen on a spectrum of time that spans the life of a person, during a period that God considers a period where judgement is applied (somewhere between birth and judgement day), and even then that time itself is non-chronological and perhaps even pre-determined or pre-destined, it is a very advanced spiritual concept. For that reason, God does not judge an adult against his sin more than a child againt his, or a rapist more than a disobedient child, because God doesn't judge the crime, but the heart, and the amount of sin in a person's heart, only God can properly see and judge. You would understand then that God does not condemn a homosexual more than he would a thief, because according to the christian belief both are considered sins and both great or small to a degree true to the individual, which only God can discern. I don't expect you to accept this answer and I know that it is very metaphysical, but that is the biblical doctrine "For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". When one person repents, it is only God who knows the amplitude of that repentance, and so we are unable to say who is more deserving of mercy. All we can say is that Christ died for all, and wants all to be saved.

INTERPRETATION: The bible is a book full of paradoxes, the Christ was crucified by the main religious scolars and religion itself is frought with confusion, because it is the Devil's playground. Therefore indocrination cannot hold a candle when it comes to finding proper answers to tough theological questions. The best tool is one few are willing to employ: raw honesty with one's self, and the courage to really challenge your pre-conceived beliefs, which is true as much for believers as for non-believers.

You need to stop looking at the confision of believers amongst themselves as an excuse not to find the right answers, and realise that it is up to you and you along to make sense of your world and hence also the religious texts that belong to it. As an atheist you must be rigorous and truly examine everything, not lay upon others your responsibility to make sense of the things around you. Otherwise what of questions like Global warming, where everyone is divided, or things like Eugenics and racism. The human race has been divided about everything, it is not a reason for you to just give up and stop thinking!

On FAIRNESS, because I think it's the most important sub-topic and because it speaks to me personally too, I want to add some more personal thoughts.

In the bible, one of the most important characters of the new testament was the apostle Paul. Before becoming an apostle, Paul was a staunch religious scolar who zealously persecuted and murdered Christians. It happened that his life flip-turned upside down, to the point where he may have become the most prominent evangelist of all times, urging people to love one another, both towards Christians and non-Christians, to bear adversity in longsuffering and in compassion for others (in line woth Jesus' "father forgive them for they know not what they do"). It is not a single case of a person radically changing throughout the span if their existence, whether towards good or towards evil. Even in fiction some of the most poignant stories are those of characters who change heart and intention with the flick of a switch, like Cecil or Kain from FFIV, or Darth Vader at the end of SWVI. We all understand this notion that people sometimes are manipulated by their own broken nature (or by the agency of the devil, whatever you believe), and of the magnitude of mercy in helping people truly change from the inside out. I think that, as a rescuer, you can find solace in the fact that you never know who will have a change of heart, be it a cruel adult 180-ing into an advocate for human rights or an innocent child turning into an evil dictator as an adult. These things are not in our power to know in advance, and so it is your responsibility to save all without prejudice, and leave civil judgement to other authorities which do their best to judge crimes, as imperfectly as they are able to.

Humans are selfish people who mostly act on something that can be beneficial to them. That's how we evolved and that's how we live.

Yeah, I'm not saying one side is faith and the other is logic all the time (hence why I stated I enjoy the religion vs science debate). I was just saying that it usually devolves to that (which it has in this thread).

That doesn't mean everyone that believes in religion doesn't use logic. Just that the argument tends to go that way, because many that argue for faith do so in defiance of using sound arguments and proofs.

I guess that is all for me but it was a pleasure discussing this with you and I enjoyed reading your thoughts.

I will leave you with one word of wisdom: some things in life can't be explained, they can only truly be experienced. Don't put so much faith in pure science, it does not hold the key.

I work in the most modern field of applicable sciences (software) and I can tell you that this field among all of them is truly the worst when it comes to distancing people from healthy human connections and bonding. For me obedience to God was my true escape to the ever-growing ground technology has been gaining in my life.

And for you I think it can offer some escape from the negative feeling you had about the people you save.

Either way I wish us all the best in our beliefs and our every day lives.
