    I need help answering this question

     What do say when an Atheist accuses you of supporting the murder of humans for religious reasons past, present, and future.

    Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

     Such as supporting the killing the Israelites did when God told them to conquer other nations

     Oh, ok. It seems to me that the place to start is by convincing them, through the Bible itself, that God's word is holy...

    For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

    I normally just punch atheists in the face. It's fun because they try to appeal to a morality that doesn't exist in their world.

     Hum, that does complicate things a bit... LOL! Have you tried using the Bible to prove the Bible?

    Indeed, Joe has hit the nail (that really does exist) on its head (which does have a result, in reality). Ask your atheist friend to define murder. It will require the use of a word like "unjustified" or "wrongful" or something like that. Then, your atheist friend (just like getting punched in the face) will have zero capacity to justify his belief that there is such a thing as "wrong" or "right" or "murder". When your atheist friend places moral expectations upon you, your atheist friend is stealing from the Christian worldview. He cannot justify his haughty, holier-than-thou request. Remember, the existence of God is proven by the impossibility of the opposite. B8

     Brilliant! Just brilliant! You really should try that. There will be no way that he will be able to justify any kind of standard or absolute, without borrowing from a Biblical worldveiw. I feel bad that I didn't think of that! Espesially after having listened to part of some of Bahnsen's debates...

    This was a better explanation. Thank, Bait.

    I cannot offer "help" in answering this question,  No one else has given "help",  only their own interpretation of  the exchange with the aetheist.     I , myself would answer the aetheist  with the response that " I don't condone the murder of humans under any circumstances". ( not in war/combat, not in domestic situations, and not as criminal punishment(death penalty).

     Well, what would you call "help". Just for the record, I dissagree.

    I am resisting the urge to be caustically sarcastic in response to this jibber jabber. Must remain calm. Must resist punching.
