Hey, remember the time that motherfucker came into church and shot/killed all of those folks reading their Bibles....right in the middle of Bible Study?
I guess the Word Of God can't actually protect you from bullets, if it's too big for your pocket!
Doesn't seems terribly "magic" to me, but oh well. I suppose I lean too heavily on my own understanding.

Lies.
I've sat with many people as they've died. Those not inclined to do not call out to any gods. And the non religious people tend to be more calm, in general, than the religious ones.
Are these the words of a man about to ask god to forgive him?

Jesus never said a word about uncovered heads or foreskins or pork, so why try to pin it on him?.. Either Jesus is God or he isn't! I wish you religious nuts would get your story straight! If Jesus is God then he preached a lot of bullshit in the OT , didn't he?
Either that, or their "unchanging" gawd changed it's mind about a lot of shit.

Other faiths might have cause to krap themselves, but no true Christian fears death, CHRISTIANS DIE LAUGHING..

Some hardcore fundies might claim that, but most enlightened christians see nothing miraculous in it and know a copy of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" or whatever would have the same bullet-stopping power..
A single book won't stop a bullet you gullible fucking idiot.

The way a cat brings up a furball.
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.'

Why do they always have to do that on carpet? What ever happened to throwing up on the god damned kitchen floor. It's so much easier to clean up there. Sheesh.
