This is simple: If you are not open minded eventually you run out of arguments then you get pissed off and you start insulting people. When you take it to the extreme, you start torturing and killing people. Man, don’t you love religion?

Awesome, no moral obligations as long as you love jesus and believe he is your saviour!! WEE! As long as Hitler truly believed in christ, he could go to heaven, while me, an atheist living a moral and decent live cannot.
Seriously, you call that “moral”??? :-/ Give me a fucking break. Your God is a dick.

No Matt is fine; this h2omanz moron has been going through and posting that on every single (and I mean EVERY clip) Atheist Experience clip. It’s not funny or smart. It’s just stupid and kind of creepy.

The moral of the Elisha story is clearly, “don’t mock bald guys.”

I always appreciate a 1984 reference in conversations about religion.

“Religion requires freedom and freedom requires religion.” Sounds like doublespeak to me.

With the coming of Christ, God’s wrath is placed not on us, but on Jesus himself. So that we are free from the law if we have faith in Christ’s sacrificial love for us. This is the difference of Christianity from all other major religions. But i think we should focus on the existence of God first, and then move into other, deeper, more specifically Christian ideals.

Haha no I would not. I would like for you to find the passage of scripture that says to do that. I think what you may find is that God called the Israelites to carry out his justice on those who were going against His laws. So in these passages, found in numbers and judges among other books, call for the destruction of cities and peoples in the name of God. It’s like the flood in Genesis. Except this was God carrying out justice, instead of His people, the Israelites.

Do you have faith in the entirety of the Bible? In other words, would you take your unruly child to the edge of the town you live in, and stone him/her to death, as the Bible commands? Yes or no please.

Haha, people who say that kind of thing are what God calls non-Christians lol. If you lack faith in some of the Bible, you lack faith in its entirety, therefore lacking faith in God! so, thus spake the Christian is not the truth. It is thus spake the non believer. For instance, let’s look at the law of adultry. Many “Christians” dont agree with the thought of not having sex before marriage, so they claim this as allegory. They are wrong, and do not know Christ. Message your response to me.

Yes and that also is the reason for the many denominations of essentially ‘the same’ abrahamic religion
If there are too many things you dont like or want to follow, nah no problem..try mormonism, try Lutheranism try..etc etc

Thus spake the Christian, “the parts I like are true; the parts I don’t like are allegory.”

This is true. But in no field other than religion do the practitioners claim a mandate from the creator of the Universe to act as they do.
