Why won’t a perfect god be clearer on important issues? Let’s take slavery for example. Couldn’t god have said “Owning people is wrong.” It does not make sense that he was opposed to slavery but gave guidelines to people because their time period was different. If god was perfect, loved everyone he created, and wanted the best for everyone he should have said “Slavery is wrong. Don’t own people”. He did so with adultery.

I have heard that we can’t understand god’s ways on things like slavery because he wants us to trust him by faith. That makes no sense. If the Bible said commandment 11 is “Thou shall not have slaves” it would change no one’s view on god. There isn’t a single atheist that would say “There must be a god because the Bible says god is against slavery.” Just like there is no one who says “God must exist because the Bible says, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

Slavery and other issues would not change anything if god existed and was clear when he wrote about such things. God could have said “Homosexuality is wrong, but everyone be nice to them. Treat all people the same. Respect everyone.” “Climate change is real, take care of the earth”

Christians deny climate change. They say god won’t allow it to ruin the earth. That is just an excuse. It is something else they try to use to deny science. I suspect climate change will be undeniable in time and Christians will accept it, but will not change their thought on god or science. They will say god put us here to take care of the world.

When people thought the world was flat but finally had to accept it was round they did not change their mind about god. They did not change when science discovered the sun was the center of out solar system. They did not change their mind when people came to accept the idea that slavery is bad. They will eventually accept homosexuality and climate change, but they will not let their concept of god be effected.

That being said, if god was real he could have easily and clearly written down long ago the truth about these topics and how to handle all of it with love and respect to all people. That is just more evidence that god doesn’t exist.
