Quote:Christ said, "love thy enemies,"But thats stupid. If someone wants to kill me, I am NOT going to love them. Its almost like the people who wrote that book didnt know shit about love.
Quote: this does not mean in any way that we can not defend ourselves,Wait..so I should love people as I put a bullet in their brain to defend myself? The people who made this Christ characetr didnt make him seem very wise. In fact its confusion. Words like this make me cringe from Christianity. Its blabber flap. Its nonsense.
Quote:we should however aid those who hate us, when they are in need.So if I knock someone off a cliff for trying to kill my daughter, and he says "Help me or I will fall", i am supposed to pull him back up? Thats psycho talk. Im not going to aid those who hate me.
..and if what you say is true, then every single Christian who refuses to aid Atheists in America have gone against the words of Christ. Every where we atheists turn we receive hatred and blockade from Christians and not one single bit of help from them...
So I call your rule bullshit, as no Christian obviously lives their life by it. I DEFFINITELY am not going to live my life by it. To live my life by it, i would have to help you promote your brand of Christianity. Its fucking stupid to suggest such rules to life.
Quote:America does this better than any nation I know.WTF?!?! Are you talking about the same America I live in? The same Christian public that openly proclaimed their christianity in the Republican party, and openly applauded the death of people without insurance...even screamed "YEAH...let him die".

WTF dreamland America are you living in? I didnt hear the Christians on that video say we should help people. no. They most especially DID NOT suggest helping people they hated. They want to help themselves, and they are greedy bastards.
Quote:God expects use to use the brains he gave us to determine the old laws that do and do not apply, it should be done through discussion with others to see how they may or may not apply...and I have used my brains to realize the bible is old, useless, and quite often wrong...regardless of your God or not.
Quote: Paul under authority of Christ showed us that the Jewish food laws do not apply to Gentiles. So we are to use our brains to discern and not to abuse the laws of God.There is no such thing as a legitimate authority. Authority is a fallacy.
