Evidence that Christianity Warps Common Sense / Human Sacrifice
Christians praise a god who ordered a child sacrifice, accepted a child sacrifice, used child sacrifice as punishment, collected a “tax“ of virgins who are either sacrificed or enslaved and made human sacrifice a law.
Gn 22:2,12, Jg 11:30-39, Ez 20:26, Nu 31:25-41, Lv 27:28-29

This represents a very warped understanding of particular Bible passages and no common sense when it comes to understanding what it means.
I have NEVER heard a Christian teach those passages in the same way they are interpreted here.
You have certainly provided evidence here. But the evidence points to how atheism/naturalism warp common sense and a person's ability to understand historical literature such as the Bible.
You’ve never heard sermons on such passages because preachers are in the business of attracting paying customers not frightening them away but the fact is that your god is depicted in your book as having done all those wicked things and far worse. How exactly am I misinterpreting these?
You can pull just about any commentary on these passages to find the true meaning. As I said, I know not one person who preaches or teaches it the way you say it is depicted. You simply articulate a warped atheistic understanding.
You said, "Preachers are in the business of attracting paying customers"
C'mon John really? That's your argument? Seriously? You further my point. Atheism/naturalism warps the mind. Sure there are a few "pastors" here and there that abuse things. There are also a few atheists/naturalists that are abusive with various things as well.
We can trade arguments not based in sound logic all day long. But I see no point in that. That would be a pretty warped waste of time.
Why must you hide behind the biblical “commentaries”? Can you not simply read the bible without having other people interpret it for you? Let’s look at the Leviticus passage...
"'But nothing that a man owns and devotes to the LORD -whether man or animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
"'No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; he must be put to death.”
Plain as day. Human sacrifice. Murder in the name of God.
In Judges...
Why did your God not stop Jeptha? He stopped Abraham. Was he not paying attention? Seems he likes his virgins cut into pieces and char-broiled, no?
In Numbers...
That whole account is insane. Yet you do your Christian mental gymnastics to justify that genocide is good and using captured virgins whose families and friends have just been slaughtered to pay the LORD a tax is somehow holy. This isn’t evidence of warped common sense? But I suppose I shouldn’t expect you to be able to see it—that’s the trouble with the whole warping thing.
