Is the doctrine of atonement true?

[Waterfall]

I would like to point to this book ( or Paul's Discourse) and hear your opinion about it:

Should everybody read it?

I think it takes the debate to another level. Here we have Paul explaining it all to us. But maybe it is not Paul? Let us put that aside and hear what is being said. To me it sounds like the truth. Can the truth be defeated? How? What are your "arguments" for the doctrine of atonement? Or against it?

It could be. If they were that wicked then yes. But, we don't know and it sounds barbaric these days. Our lives , here, don't seem to have a lot of value. So, I am back to yes.

RESPONSE: So you think a just and merciful God directs the slaying of infants for their parent's sins?

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." (I Samuel 15:2-3)
