- God told Adam and Eve they would die if they ate the fruit and they didn't. In fact, it is Satan who is the more truthful during this episode. He was being honest when he told Eve that god was just trying to limit them and keep them in the dark. That turned out to be true. It was god who was lying about how eating the fruit would kill them. Christians fend this off by arguing that they died a spiritual death (clearly an ad-hoc attempt to recover). Unfortunately for them, there are dozens of other references in the old testament to quickly dying as a consequence of some act or the other, and it always means a physical death, not a spiritual.
- , God told Abraham to kill Issac, and then stopped him at the last minute. The standard Christian response is that he was doing this for a good reason (to test Abraham's faith). But still it was a deception on a very important issue - the life of the man's son!
- He planted a "deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets", and in the new testament, "sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie").
A survey of arguments Christians use to win converts, how they try to persuade unbelievers to convert, ways to combat those, the most glaring inconsistencies and gaps in the Christian world view, and why any person who wants to be grounded in reality would reject it.
