“The codes are telling us: a fitting president,” he explains, adding that Romney’s name is associated with the phrase, “the man (is) for Him,” referring to the Master of the universe.
Well, I guess that clinches the case for Bible codes. Cool Shades

And look how well that worked out.

Maybe Mitt the Shitt will run again in 2016?

Well, he may just claim that the miracles of Islam are the work of the devil and his minions who intend to deceive men.

Tell him that Paul's teachings are Christianity are the works of Iblis (Muslim Satan) to keep people from properly submitting to Allah.

Quote:Did tens of thousands of Israelites conspire to fabricate the history of the Exodus? If those events did not occur, and those recorded miracles were not experienced by tens of thousands of Israelites, why would they subject themselves to such a burdensome legal code and hard life?

The person in question doesn't seems interested in there being or not archeological evidence for the event.

Are there any examples of people in other religions doing something similar? I know he would reject such accounts but it would be nice to point it to him to show him why I reject the Bible account

Consider that the Israelites had supposedly been locked up in Egypt for about four hundred years. Moses sprung them and they had been flopping around in the desert for over five months when Moses chipped out the Ten Commandments (Exodus chapter 34).

So why did Moses think that it was a good idea to include two annual agricultural feast days as a Commandment (Exodus 34:22) when they had no way of growing crops in the desert? What made it even worse was that they were going to spend the next forty years flopping around in the desert. Were they supposed to imagine that they were growing wheat and other crops?

I don't think it's appropriate to compare a book that has touched millions of lives in a positive and constructive way with a message of love and hope that transcends faith should be compared with that tawdry hack-shit the bible.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

I agree wholeheartedly and offer a total retraction to all Harry Potter fans, who are of course highly intelligent, peace loving and worthwhile human beings who can now take my name off their hit list please.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Being on a Harry Potter hit list is like living in danger of being salved with a delicate balm.
