The atheist can clearly understand the Bible and what it says.
Yes, we can understand its stated premise very well.
Biblegod has chosen whom he will
hate and will burn in hellfire forever and ever,
before they are even born or did either good or evil, and there is absolutely nothing that they can ever do about it.
In fact according to the Bible, this god willfully and actively 'blinds' and
prevents these non-'chosen' persons from ever being 'saved', as He
wills according to His -unmerited-
favoritism (John 12:40, Romans 9:11-16 _and a great many other supporting verses)
Biblegod
chose and rewarded the
conniving, lying, deceiving, thieving, dishonesty of Jacob. (Gen 27:15-29) Because he had chosen to
hate and hinder Esau from the very beginning of time, long
before he was even conceived in Rebekah's womb. And there was not one thing that Esau could ever do to escape that
predestinated fate assigned to him by Yahweh from the first day of creation.
If Esau (and billions of others) are
hated by Biblegod, and as a consequences are consigned to burn in torment in the fires of Hell forever and ever, it is because that is what Biblegod
chose and brings to pass 'according to His irresistible
will and pleasure (Isa 46:10, Romans 9:15-19)
So then the acceptance or damnation is not according to the will or desires of any man that wills or choses, nor of any man that runs or works, but the working machinations of an irresistible God that shows and acts out of incomprehensible and uncontrollable
favoritism.
Evidently an extremely evil and insane deity whose ultimate choice is to consign 99.99+% of all of the humans that have ever lived to eternal torture in hellfire because so doing is the eternal
plan that pleases him. That is why we reject your insane imaginary god and your sick fucking religion.
