We now continue, from part 1 and part 2, considering American Atheists’ Al Stefanelli’s article Christian Fundamentalists: Deeply Disturbed Psychotic Sociopaths wherein we learn some interesting information such as that one thing that “True Christians” do is, for example, commit murder.
Furthermore:
The Old Testament clarifies that all adulterers, witches, homosexuals, blasphemers and other “undesirables” are to be slaughtered, even if they profess to believe. The punishment is the same for many other transgressions, including…being raped (yes, you read that correctly)…being rebellious to your parents
To the specific issue of being slaughtered for being raped—not for committing rape, but for being raped—there is no such thing in the Old Testament. The punishment for committing rape in the Old Testament is capital punishment only for the rapist. This is covered in Deuteronomy 22 which was carefully examined in the essay:
Atheism, the Bible, Rape and EvilBible.com, part 4 of 6
As to being rebellious to your parents, this is tantamount to stating that one can be put into prison for driving a car without bothering to mention drunken driving, running a stop sign, plowing into a pedestrian and leaving the scene of the crime. This too was skeptically (honest skepticism) considered and detailed in the essays:
Now, it was explained that some have misrepresented Al Stefanelli as calling for the eradication of people when he was referring to doctrines. However, he does indeed and in fact claim that “True Christians” commit acts such as “the murder of physicians who provide abortion services, the destruction of property and the violence against certain individuals.”
After referring to these actions he notes:
…mainstream believers often state that these mentally disturbed individuals are not “True Christians.” This is, of course, incorrect.
But why is it incorrect? He explains:
Although these people operate on the fringes of reality, they still profess belief in the core doctrines of Christianity…They claim to be Christian
Apparently, Al Stefanelli has bequeathed upon himself the power to change theology since his neo-revelation is that a Christians is a Christian—moreover, a True Christian—by professing belief and by claiming to be Christian. With this a-logic in mind, this writer will claim to be a 12 foot tall Japanese woman who is the offspring of Big Foot and aliens…also, this writer cannot type one single word of English, even as he types this sentence. One sure sign that 1) they are not Christians, 2) are note True Christians and 3) that Al Stefanelli knows not of that which he speaks is that in direct opposition to the profession and claim view of what is a Christian, Jesus stated that His followers will be known by their fruits:
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks (Luke 6:43-45).
You will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16).
