He was throwing a hissy fit because his playthings wouldn't listen to him?

Seriously - this kind of bullshit should only be believed by children and simpletons. It doesn't stand up to any kind of rational thought, nor does the evidence support that it happened, or even could have.

The lovecraft stories about Cthulhu are a hell of a lot more believable than the Bible.

(No offense meant Cthulhu...you're my second favorite God next to Loki Big Grin )

No offense taken. I already told you I'm eating you last.

It doesn't even stand up to irrational thought, as evidenced by the literalists twisting themselves and the biblical fables into knots of Gordian proportions in a doomed attempt to get all the pieces to fit.
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.'

Seen it. Dismissed it for the utter horseshit it is. Don't need to see it again.

Do you really think you are bringing anything NEW to the table. There has been no shortage of xtian idiots parading to this site with the same bullshit as you are now spouting.

are you sure that video has been brought before? it only has about 400 views
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

-4th verse of the american national anthem

15 pages in and theists cannot answer the question of why they love the being they assert exists and often boast that it loves us so much it would sacrifice its own child for us, and they love it back with all their hearts, minds and souls.

FAIL.

You accepted my explanation and moved on to a secondary question I thought.

I answered?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

What's also funny is that the son becomes immortal. Not really a sacrifice when you think about it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
