Whenever I have conversations with Christians about God's power and his perfect nature, as they call it, I'll bring up all of the atrocities committed and commanded by God in the Bible.

每當我和基督徒談論上帝的力量和他們所謂的完美本質時，我就會提出聖經中上帝所犯下和命令的所有暴行。

第二類條件句型

Things like punishing two people for eating a piece of fruit when they had no knowledge of what could really happen if they ate it.

像是因為兩個人吃了禁果，在他們根本不知道後果的情況下就懲罰他們。

轉承詞

And then punishing all of humanity because of those two people eating a piece of fruit.

然後又因為這兩個人吃了禁果，懲罰了全人類。

Or what about when God commanded his people to march up to all of their neighbors and to make them a peace offering.

或者，上帝命令他的人民去攻打所有鄰居，並將他們作為和平獻禮。

And if they accept the peace offering, to enslave them all, to force them to be your slave.

如果他們接受和平獻禮，就奴役他們所有人，強迫他們成為你的奴隸。

And if they refuse, then to just slaughter them and kill everyone.

如果他們拒絕，那就直接屠殺他們，殺死所有人。

What about Noah's flood, when God drowns the entire world, he drowns humans and babies and animals and kills everything because he was just so mad about the way they turned out.

那挪亞方舟的洪水呢？上帝淹死了整個世界，淹死了人類、嬰兒和動物，殺死了所有生命，因為他對人類的發展方式感到非常憤怒。

Even though he's God and He knows everything and knows the future and already knows how they're going to turn out.

即使他是上帝，他無所不知，知道未來，而且早就知道他們會變成什麼樣子。

And if a human being did these things, if a human being commanded you to go up and kill pregnant women and kill babies, then we would call that a war crime.

如果一個人類做出這些事，如果一個人命令你去殺孕婦、殺嬰兒，我們會稱之為戰爭罪。

We would say you're evil and we'd lock you up.

我們會說你是邪惡的，然後把你關起來。

But when God does it, it's easily dismissible.

但當上帝這麼做時，卻可以輕易被忽略。

Like you can just shrug it off and say, well, that's God.

就像你可以輕描淡寫地說，嗯，那是上帝。

You don't get to judge his character or his morality because he's in charge and you're not.

你不能評判他的品格或道德，因為他掌權，而你不是。

On the contrary, who are you, O man who answers back to God?

相反地，你算什麼，竟敢回嘴的世人？

Because God is in charge, no matter what he does, it's good.

因為上帝掌權，不管他做什麼，都是好的。

So it kind of makes the concept of morality and ethics completely pointless.

所以這就讓道德和倫理的概念完全變得毫無意義。

Because if we can't look at something and decide that it is good or bad because that something is more powerful than we are, then we're not actually exercising any kind of morality or referencing our ethics.

因為如果我們無法看見某件事，並判斷它是好是壞，僅僅因為它比我們強大，那我們就不是在行使任何道德，也不是在參考我們的倫理。

And this worldview, this idea of God, it extends beyond the church.

這種世界觀，這種對上帝的看法，它超越了教會。
