If you have read any of my posts, you will know that I have consistently argued against interpreting the bible literally. I do not argue that the Bible is the literal word of God, only that science does not preclude his existence. Also, stating my face and arse are positionally inverted is neither helpful or accurate.
Listen you're starting to get on my nerves now because you're carrying on like you think you're too clever by half, especially the patronising comments to me stating "if you read any of my posts"...
1) How about YOU read what I posted and follow your own damn advice? - I did NOT say your "face and arse were the wrong way around". That was your chum from god's kingdom Frodo, saying that to ME.
2) If you do not interpret the bible literally, then you have no basis to believe in god, because you're believing your own interpretation of the bible, thus you're making god in your own image. Funny how god always agrees with each believers individual beliefs.
Now this point is not new and you'll have heard it all before - however it is still as pertinent today as it was the first time anybody said it, ever - and I've not yet heard a decent justification for anybody believing in god if they don't take the bible literally as god's word. All I ever hear is "subjective personal experience" and what can only be described as wishful thinking.

Hey, I'm not saying that Allah isn't depicted as one evil bastard, but for you to note that he is and not attribute the same to your own god is just, well, madness.
Words cannot describe the contempt I have for your own version of this god delusion.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
