And there it is! The way to get around any hypocrisy, any contradiction, any immorality or misguided or flat out wrong thing in the bible: not giving a shit!

I love it, it's so fucking impossible to talk about this stuff with christians because they don't even care about their own religion, just the holier-than-thou feeling it gives them. Look at GC here: instead of actually responding at all, he just ad homs, makes the same tired old references to satan (as one could also potentially do with context, or not having the correct interpretation, or any of the usual platitudes) and then he skates off into the sunset as though he's actually presented something of any value.

That's why church worship isn't sacrilegious, why god can do no wrong, why the bible can mean anything you want it to... the people actually worshiping the god don't care about a single word he says beyond what they can twist to fit whatever agenda they currently have.

To be fair I think he posted that tongue in cheek in response to German's point.

At least - I hope he did.

I hope so too, but I'm no longer in the business of assuming theists can't be serious about the ridiculous things they say anymore. I mean, given how flippant GC's been regarding other serious claims before...

I would have to say that if GC turned out to be a poe, it would be a successful one. He's going for the poe's limit. *queue not sure if" meme.

Number of people killed by God in the Bible: 2,800,000
Number of people killed by Satan in the Bible: 10

Satan, you keep doing your work! It's cheaper!

Where did you get those numbers from - fuckin' love 'em by the way.

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your father who sees in secret will reward you.

So in other words, it's sacrilegious to pray in public? Well, churches do that all the time. Are they all destined for hell?

No. Not unless your doing it hypocritically.

Jesus was speaking the the pharisees who would condemn the sinful and pray for God to punish them while they themselves were doing something equally as sinful but some how had justified.

"......but some how had justified."

Oh no - stop....... please........ my aching ribs........... I can't breath....is it possible to laugh up your own spleen?

Good afternoon Mr. Kettle, have you met Mr. Pot?

Are you afraid that I will turn the arguement on you? If not then take the time to explain what your talking about .
