Hi MysticKnight,

It's easy to find lovely and comforting verses in any holy book. A holy book wouldn't last very long if it didn't have nice verses. But the Bible is a huge thing and while you may find lovely verses, there are also extremely evil verses that will make you want to puke. These evil verses are not just a description of the world we live in. They are verses that talk about God and the portray God as the most disgustingly evil beast. The Bible was what alerted me to the possibility that God probably didn't existed. It was a good thing I had good and progressive priests who agreed with my view or rather, they didn't exactly agree with me but they said it was a viable position to adopt.

Your statement is like that of the thief, " well if he did not have all that money I would have not killed and robbed him." This logic of your's does not fly.

Except, the money is mine and I am the one being killed and robbed.

You should not have bragged about having it and you would not be in this predicament.
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.

Figures that'd be a valid justification in your mind.

And I guess you use the same justification for women being raped?

You need to lighten up and get real, before you start showing the ignorance within you.

That's your moral position and I am the one who should get real?
