Your a mild neussance, who occasionally comes up with some good speaking points, but when ever the conversation gets beyond what you ready to argue, you ask me to "prove God..." So no Brian, your not a bigot, so no need to marytar yourself on that alter.
What Answers? You created a complete Lie then you want me to defend the Lie you created as if it were legit? I think you need to cut your daily intake of hot dogs, if you expect me to defend a straw man of your own creation.
..And add me to the list.
what they do not accept the bible as the word of God? That they do not understand that OT Judism and NT Christianity are two seperate religions? Do they still sacerfice goats?
This is the core of your problem. you are argueing a principle that absolutly no christian would stand behind no matter what he thought of the Old testament.
Matter of fact their isn't a Jewish sect in practice today that would agree with your assessment. (That it is lawful/a command of god to burn witches)
you have forgone common sense to argue a principle that does not apply to any bible based Judeo-Christian system of belief. your whole arguement is based on the fact that some christians goto Church on saturday rather then sunday. If you are so sure about what you believe then find one of the saturday worshiping Christians and ask him on what day is it ok to burn a suspected witch.
again No 'Sect' of Bible based Christianity burns witches. The burden of proof is on you to show one that does. (start in PNG your best bet is to find one there.)
What makes you a bigot is that no matter what Cermonial version of Christianity you want to side with, all Bible based Christians wholely accept the Moral law of the NT. At least when it comes to burning witches.
You have failed to show me one. you have pointed to cermonial differences but you have not once named a single branch of biblically based Christianity who has adopted a witch burning doctrine. (Even if you had I can point to Acts 8 Mat 5 and 1/2 a dozen other verse that say Murder is wrong and that we are not to burn witches by the example of the apstole Peter.)
To which as many times as I mentioned Peter's interaction with a legit witch you have yet to comment. surly you know This is the final nail in your arguements coffin. We have a conclusive perscribed way outlined by one of the leading apstoles that shows the whole of Christianity how 'we' are to deal with witches. The Arguement is over. Peter did not burn the witch in acts 8, we are not to burn witches in acts 8. You can say nothing else of consenquence. (which make your persute and insistance that the oppsite is true just hatful religious bigotry)
boo-ya

You didn't Boo-ya anyone jackass. And I am talking to you.
What is not to understand? You have a pet invisible fictional friend you falsely believe is real. You hit the panic button when I simply say "so what" other people have other pet fictional super heros too. YOU hit the panic button when I say "take a number".
Your problem with me is I don't get distracted by your Yellow Brick road convoluted tactics. I wouldn't give one rats ass if you claimed your god's name was Frank and there was a 100,000 year old book that claimed your god Frank was real. I don't buy it when Muslims or Jews or Hindus do it either. And please remember I once believed myself so don't fucking pull that bigot shit.
The only person here not grasping reality is you. You don't understand there is a gigantic difference between what you want to be real, and what you can prove is real. You think you are special and get pissed when I tell you that other people with other beliefs truly believe as fervently as you do, that they are right. And again, I say SO WHAT.
It never occurs to you that YOU could be wrong. It never occurs to you that you are merely protecting your own ego because you don't want to feel you wasted all this time on a fantasy. It would be too embarrassing for you so rather than face that embarrassment, like many of us here did, and accepted, because unlike you the truth was too important to us to falsely cling to something we couldn't defend, instead of considering you got it wrong, you resist because your feelings of what you want are more important to you than facts.
Now the FACTS are that the only place we find any type of thinking process is within biological evolution. There is absolutely NO evidence of thoughts existing outside a biological process in life. On top of that we have MOUNDS of evidence that humans can and do make up gods and all sorts of stupid superstitions, not just what you have swallowed. MANY of us here used have all sorts of woo we fell for and grew out of.
The truth you don't want to face, the truth many of us her finally faced, is that we, meaning the ones here who once believed, is that it was nothing but our own selfish desires and wishful thinking. That is how ALL religions start and ALL superstitions start. Someone gets a thought in their head, they don't care to question it, they simply go with it because it "feels right" and "sounds good". That is what I was doing when I believed, and that is all you are doing now. And that is what Jews and Hindus and Shintoists and Scientologists do too. You are not special and ARE making the same mistake I made and Jews and Muslims and all religious people make.
Two things, 1) I did not boo ya you, i boo ya-ed equlax mind your own posts, you seem to have enough trouble with the comments directed to you, let alone trying to manage someone elses stuff.
2) your whole last post is an example of why I can not take you seriously. You have a natural progression to try and trump every conversation with 'no proof of God.' You did it here. So why should I waist my time if I know you will end everything you begin with this line, in one form or another?
As I have told you a 100 times I have no proof to give you. Only God can give you proof, and before He will give you anything you understand you have been commanded to humble yourself before Him, but your pride demands proof, and so on it goes.
So again don't take offense, but you are one that i can not do anything for. You want what God is not willing to give unless you make the first step. You won't so their is nothing else to do. That is why i do not see you as a bigot. Your just a benign poster who does not agree with theism.
so meh,
