Standard theist.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Sounds like a pretty shitty "law." What imbecile came up with it?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
Sometimes I get the feeling that the deity is rather incompetent, as well as evil.

He wants specifics. Here I go:
Jesus will tear families apart:
Matt 10:20 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 21 Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
All these people are worthy of death:
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
:31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Don't Touch yourself...
1 Cor6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Women shouldn't speak in church
1 Cor 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Women should be subjective and not wear Jewelry
1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
Marrying divorced women is adultery
Matt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
The whole slavery thing (see other currently active thread)
Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;
Don't love the world or anything in it
1 John 2:1515 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
And personally the most abhorrent to me: Non-Christians are the anti-christ
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Was this enough? There's more.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

How could I forget the part where he says he's come not to bring peace, but a sword. To seperate parents from children and all that. In fact, you'd think the fact that he wasn't names Emmanuel, and he didn't bring peace, would mean he wasn't the true messaiah.

To SteelCurtain:
"Jesus will tear famillies apart" That's because some will choose not to listen to him.
"All these people are worthy of death" Everyone is worthy of death for they have sinned, but Jesus died to reddem us.
"Don't Touch yourself..." Good advice.
"Marrying divorced women is adultery" Good advice
"The whole slavery thing" He doesn't promote slavery, but just says not to oppose them, which makes sense since Jesus tought to turn the other cheek. He never endorses slavery, just tries to help those who are in it.
"Don't love the world or anything in it" He just says to focus on God, not on earthly things. Not a big deal.
"Non-Christians are the anti-christ" He means they are against Christ, therefore Anti-Christ. Not some demonic being, but it is true you're all against Christ.
Please give me more, I debunked all of them handily.
