Do you recognize that God gains pleasure in creating evil?

[Thor]

We have to repeat ourselves over and over because you do not listen to what is stated,

Oh, I listen to what is stated. And I can't fathom how any reasonably intelligent adult can believe it to be true.

you would rather be not sensible,

Says the guy who believes in talking snakes.

when you should study the scriptures and see if we're correct.

I should "study" ridiculous, unsubstantiated tales and see if you're correct? Actually, I HAVE studied these tales and I find that reality does not match up with them. There is no evidence for a global flood. There is no evidence for a virgin birth. There is no evidence the Tower of Babel existed. There is no evidence Jesus even existed! Based upon these realizations, I can only conclude your book is packed with crap that belongs in the fantasy section of Barnes and Noble.

Many atheists are more knowledgable of scripture than believers.

You know this how,

By reading Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and posters on this forum.

I would put the youth I taught up against you any day, and watch them take you apart.

Oh, please do! I'd love to come to your local brainwashing center and have a little discussion with the youngsters. Maybe I'd have a chance at turning them around before the crap you put in their heads can take root. My sister-in-law used to teach Babble instruction. I always thought that they should let me talk to the kiddies after she finished so we could have equal time.

How is it you think you know more about the truth of scriptures, when I've seen most of you, either be irresponsible or blatantly lie about the meaning of passages.

Oh, please! I've seen believers do backflips to make the Babble say what it obviously is not saying. I've pointed out where the Babble says you can own slaves and people like you insist it wasn't "real" slavery. Yeesh!

I do not care what any of you say, all the Christians on this site know you cherry pick and never and I mean never research the scriptures to find the truth within them.

"Cherry pick"? You mean like believers do when they read Babble verses in church? For some reason, I've never heard the following verse read in church:

"If two men fight together and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not pity her."
Deuteronomy 25:11-12

What a lovely passage! If you're walking down the street and a scumbag attacks you, and your wife tries to help you fight off the scumbag by grabbing his nutsack, you're supposed to cut off her hand! This is justice?

How can you have a sensible debate with someone who insists in the truthfulness of an ancient book that contains stories with talking animals, a virgin birth, people rising up from the dead, a man losing his strength because his hair was cut, etc, etc.....?

The same way we do with people who believe that life boiled out of a muddy soup,

I don't believe anyone has ever hypothesized that "life boiled out of a muddy soup". Straw man much?

man came from apes,

Actually, we have a common ancestor with gorillas, chimps, etc. There is <GASP!> evidence for this.

that dinosaurs are now birds

Birds descended from dinosaurs. Again, there is evidence for this.

and that matter has always existed without a shred of evidence,

And you insist your deity has always existed without a shred of evidence. Why is it so difficult to conclude that matter has always existed? Because you need to insert your creator into the equation?

that a big bang could over come all the gravity that existed, while said gravity was placed on all that matter. You expect me to believe such nonsence when light can not escape the small amount of gravity a black hole supposedly has, when it's gravity is only a small portion of that which supposedly was holding all that matter in such a small place.

This entire passage makes no sense to me.
