"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility." - Pro 15:33
"By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life." - Pro 22:4
Don't you like Wisdom and Science?
Best regards.
I can quote the bible too: "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her." Exodus 21:7 "Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." Exodus 21:20 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife." Exodus 22:16 (This is a great law for any rapist who wants to marry his rape victim... not so fun for the woman who is required to marry her rapist) "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed" Exodus 22:20 (better start killing those other religions... God commands you to!) "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." Numbers 31:17-18 (kill all the men, but keep the virgins as your property... now that's a plan!)

God is just. He will punish wicked people according to the quantity and quality of their wickedness.
Says who? Also, you are phrasing that incorrectly... "God is just" implies that justice exists without God... It's like saying, "God is good"... well... that's not what you believe... you believe, "Good is God"... whatever God does is just/good, not because the act itself is good, but because anything God does is exempt... If God decides to murder innocent Egyptian children and animals by the tens of thousands, its just/good because God did the murdering of innocent children (see the 10th plague of Egypt) You believe that whatever God does is just/good, not because murder is just/good, but because when God does it, he's special and exempt... Now imagine as an example that you were 20 years old, and had been wicked all your life. By the time you were, say, 50, wouldn't you have done a whole lot more wickedness? If you die at 50, you have a lot more to be punished for in Hell than you would have if you died at 20.
Why do you assume that someone who doesn't believe in God is wicked/evil? Are all atheists wicked in your eyes? What about Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist? All evil too? Just because someone doesn't believe in Santa without evidence, does not make them evil... it makes them less gullible than you...

You forget one thing. God loved us so much, that He did the best for us. What is that best? God is giving us in our selves, Himself. He is making us like Him. We have the choice to be like Him or not. How do we have that choice? He gave it to us. Either join Him and be like Him, or do away with ourselves.
What's the question here? I'd slap you ion the face if I was God. And to think He offers you the greatest thing that there is... to be like Him. And you even suggest turning it down. What an insult. Even you would be insulted if you offered someone a million dollars, and besides not accepting it, all he did was to call you a piece of shit to your face.
Why am I not surprised that the "Christian" is the one talking about assaulting the non-Christian? Kinda proving my point about religion being the aggressor, dontcha think? Let's say hypothetically, I'm wrong... God exists, he's the Christian God, etc... Would I worship him? FUCK NO!!! The God of the bible is an evil bastard... I've read the bible... I would never love or worship that God even if the entire bible were 100% true... For more info, I'll refer you to Stephen Fry, because he does an amazing job explaining this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-d4otHE-YI

To You: "Not to pass your children through the fire to Molech" - Lev. 18:21
Best regards.
There are certainly better Moloch quotes... Allen Ginsberg did an amazing job: Howl by Allen Ginsberg : The Poetry FoundationMoloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks! Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men! Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments! Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb! Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities! Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch whose name is the Mind! ...
I believe Allen Ginsberg's Moloch was influenced by the 1927 film, 'Metropolis'

Atheists are the reason for some of the most brutal murders around, way more than Christians. Consider Stalin and his 30 to 100 million (we may never know for sure), Hitler and his 20 million (he wasn't Christian although he went to mass at times), and all the Southeast Asian atheistic communistic leaders who killed many millions of their own people.
If Bible were law, there would be peace among those who accepted it as law. Take a look. It's right in the Bible.
Anyone who compares the opposition to Hitler, automatically loses any argument they tried to make. Hitler didn't kill any(?) Jews himself, other Germans did that... and guess what... those Germans were mostly Christian, same as America!... that means Christians did all that evil murdering... get your facts right... Religion is the force responsible for the vast majority of wars throughout history. Christians are solely responsible for what we commonly refer to as "The Dark Ages"... 300 years of crusades, and inquisition! Just read the bible... how many nations did the Jews attack? "The Promised Land", "The land of milk and honey", was such because there were people living on that land... they were farmers and bee-keepers, which is why they had milk and honey... until the Jews killed them all and took their milk and honey... that's how religion operates... they kill and take people's stuff... all the while claiming moral authority directly from God Himself!

The death on the cross for Jesus was necessary. It shows us how greatly God loves us...
Say what? Necessary?!? God made the rules... he didn't have to make it necessary if he didn't want to... why murder your own son? God could have waved his magic wand and forgiven sin without any need for bloodshed... necessary? ha! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.becauseitstrue.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F4%2F9%2F1%2F24918119%2F4325474.jpg&t=665&c=cgTMnJ6fijC_Cg) God sacrifices himself, to himself, to serve as a loophole for a rule he created himself... seems legit... Exactly. It is said that God knew everything from the beginning. Then why does he allow all this pain and suffering in the world? To prove a point? You could ask the same question about 'the flood'... If God knew he was going to kill 99.999% of the population... why create them in the first place? Why not just start with Noah instead of Adam? Why kill 99.999% of the population for being evil?... God created them, knowing they were going to turn out evil... wtf? Now he sent 99.999% of the planet to hell for no reason... why create any soul that is destined to hell? That sounds mean to me, creating a soul that you plan to torture for eternity... why would a "God" do that? This is the main problem with religion... none of the events make a bit of sense when you apply critical thinking skills...

Scary for sure, but if China is anything like America, rich people are exempt from laws... When was the last time a rich person went to 'prison' in America? Martha Stewart, 10+ years ago? (celebrity/country-club prison) Since then we've been blessed with cases like The Affluenza Kid (spoiler: rich kid, drinking and driving, hits 15 pedestrians, killing 4 people... gets probation)

I have no idea what Sharia law is but sure, why not? Let's let muslims do whatever they want where ever they want it. Sure - what harm can come out of it? (said he quite worried, but still slightly amused)
Sharia law includes things like 'honor killings' and murdering an 'apostate' (A former Muslim who now rejects Islam)... these could never be legal in the US... You can't impose "Sharia law" in the US because the Constitution prohibits the establishment of one religion above another (basically, no religious laws allowed) well... except... there are a few states where a parent can choose to pray for their child's cancer instead of taking him to the hospital, without facing charges of murder/child endangerment/negligent homocide... Blows my mind, but mostly unrelated...

When you act like you don't want the abilities of Godness, you are essentially saying that you would rather be an animal.
God isn't going to give us baby gods unlimited power and strength...
"Abilities of Godness"? WTF are you smoking? God doesn't grant you abilities... he doesn't even answer your prayers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studies_on_intercessory_prayerMake your choice. Take your pick. Move into Godness with God the way He did it, or move into self-destruction. You have no other choice, no matter how you much grumble about it.
What makes you think that you either worship Santa/God or you are pure evil? Where would you get that idea, and why would you ever believe it? Atheists tend to be the most moral people in a society. Take a look at Sweden, Norway, Denmark, etc... Take a look at the US prison population, 0.2% atheist... 99% Christian... Atheists are the reason slavery is illegal, and gays can get married! If Christians had their way, biblical law would prevail, and we would all be homophobic slave owners... Have you even read the bible?

I just cant get over the fact that inbred jews are the master race regarding iq ;(
Why would you think Jews are inbred? Jews typically encourage critical thinking skills, rather than discourage thinking as most religions do...

I'm surprised that there has not been any big news break on this still. Maybe whoever did whatever is going to get away with it.
They got away with it 19 months ago when Vern failed to report the theft to the feds

How would you even define "Christian" these days?
Most Americans claim to be Christian, but when they have cancer, do they pray to God, or go to the hospital? I dare say 90%+ of "Christians" don't actually believe God/prayer will cure their cancer
Does that make 90% of them atheist?
Also note that in America, "Christianity" comes in many flavours... Protestant, Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah's witness, Westboro Baptist Church, the kkk, etc.

Weren't they meant to indicate your agreement that questioning doctrine was a sin?
I don't believe it says anywhere in the bible that questioning doctrine is a sin Here is a quote implying quite the opposite: Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. The "more noble than average" Jews studied the scriptures in detail, questioning whether or not the accounts were accurate Only a great fool believes things without questioning them... Though, religion does seem to be a gullibility test of sorts
