That's the blasphemy I find inexplicable and fucking annoying.

So you believe we should live by the OT laws? Really, can't you understand they are given to a people of God's choosing, it's plainly written the OT law isn't meant for the Christian people, only those who wish to save themselves by perfectly keeping these laws, give it a try, ooops, you slipped, time for Jesus.

Indeed. God made an arbitrary list of things he doesn't like and will send you to hell if you do them. Unless you agree to believe in a certain aspect of him, in which case he'll give you a pass and not send you to he'll for eating shrimp.

We can also use the NT.

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.

Not often enough, are your women's heads covered to preserve their modesty and do you beat them for speaking before men?

Do your women read the bible? That's actually a sin you know, Paul makes it really rather clear women are to ask their superior male...I-I mean husband...in private what things mean.

No Godschild, you do not use the NT. You cherrypick the bits you like and shove the rest under the bed.

Remember, you're talking about a book that was written by tribes of goat-herders who made up the same stories about themselves and the gods just like everyone else who ruled over them did.

You're full of this kind of statements yet you haven't given a speck of proof, so where is it?

Somewhere near where you live is a big brick building with a lot of books inside it. There are people who work in such buildings. We call them librarians. They will be happy to direct you to the sections containing books on history and comparative mythology. Do your own homework, Sparky.

We have a great respect for women, unlike atheist who sale them into the sex trade and use them like something less than animals.

I have putz, and I know the truth about the people and the God who used man to write the Bible, so what's your excuse for being intellectually challenged when it comes to the Bible.

Seriously? You think it's incumbent on people to provide proof that God DIDN'T write the Bible?!
