Still waiting to see that single verse that owns atheism.
From what it seems to me lately is that most theists don't come here for discussion but rather to show you (us) how much of this nonsense stuff they are capable of believing in, with a lot of pride.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
