It's people like you who make xtianity look worse. Coming in and preaching when you KNOW that the person affected is an atheist. Have you NO shame!?
He's the one spouting out verses like he knows something, I on the other hand corrected his mistaken understanding of the scriptures. No I am not ashamed of spreading the word of God and will gladly do it here and everywhere else.

Here is another translation which suggests the children were killed.
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. “Go up baldhead,” they shouted, “go up baldhead!” The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
And here also you appear to not be connecting the curse with the bear attack. Which I must say would be my position as well, curses work just as well as prayers i.e. not at all.
You used the word "suggests" which means that you have doubts. I have none, the boys did not die, the verses are proof of that, if they had the verses would have said they were killed. The curse is plainly applied in my response, you are grabbing at straws.

FM started this derail and the rest of you have jumped on board, there was no good reason for FM to reply to my post to start with, so yes we all should stop.

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.
