Quote:I'm sorry, are you arguing for the death penalty of against? If we have the authority to kill our fellow men and women, only then we can hand out the death penalty. We can't otherwise.

I was on a jury in a rape and imprisonment case. I was never asked if I loved the guy or the alleged victim.
Quote:Only if that was true. But within the bible, I see no evidence of your god being just. Evil dickhead, sure. Just, no.
You don't have to.
Quote:Actually, that is an excellent reason to stop worshiping him.
Maybe so, but an atheist believes there is no God. That reason would not involve determining that there is no God, but only that he doesn't like him.
