Christians Endorse God's Hatred

[Brakeman]

Oh, really?

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 expands on the law:

If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them, then his father and mother shall seize him, and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gateway of his home town. And they shall say to the elders of his city, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard." Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear of it and fear.

That sure sounds like you have the super duper model of magic decoder rings. You couldn't stretch it that much without it!

Do you believe that law has ever been enforced? It contains so many stipulations because it is entirely for instruction. But I wouldn't expect a fundamentalist atheist to understand. "But it says! But it says!" You read but you do not understand....
...
...
...I just said a prayer for you to allow the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to renew your mind.

I would personally say it probably has been enforced a time or two, owing to what we see in the primitive god drunk areas of Afghanistan and projecting that on to similar past peoples of the middle east. But how does that matter? A king that writes an evil law is evil, regardless of how many people he has killed to enforce it, it has unfairly terrorized children, that is all it need do.

What in the world is a "fundamentalist atheist?"

As for the holy spirit prayer, please do if you think it might work. I suggest that you include all of us. It is a prayer I have never understood why god wouldn't answer this every time. If I pray to god to know more about him than I could find out on my own and if I pray that he give me unquestionable direction to which path is correct, I cannot understand why god doesn't not answer that prayer. It seems logical that he would, but in fact he never did when I was a christian. All I could muster was a little bit of short term delusion.
