Don't forget these gems from the old testament on how to deal with children:

Deuteronomy
21:18-21

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son...
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold
on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his
city... And all the men of his city shall stone him
with stones, that he die..."


Proverbs
23:13-14

"Withhold not correction from the child: for if
thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt
deliver his soul from hell."


Psalm 137:9

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones."


Yeah, Yahweh sounds like a real "Family Values" kind of guy. Beat the crap out of your kids. Kill them if they resist you. Then celebrate it afterwards because hey they deserved it. Never mind someone ELSE'S children don't even get Yahweh started on those little bastards.

It has no deities, no prophets, no ceremonies, no tax breaks, essentially it lacks just about everything that would be recognised as characteristic of a religion; and any part of it that might be so regarded depends on a definition of religion so loose as to encompass subjects as diverse as sports, science fiction and stamp collecting.

Oh I just get so infuriated... it just seems to me that all the inconsiderate, opinionated, religious, nutjobs; suffering personality privilege of a two year old think that this community is just laying here for them to shit all over it without a by your leave or even a vague 'hi I am here to shit on your carpet'...and theists seem to be the biggest culprits...

WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS I don't go to their precious jeebus sites and shit all over their boards; so why should they get away with it here??
Clearly I have MORE consideration, respect, human compassion than these theists.. is what I am thinking Angry

Ask RTF, he will tell you it's freedom of speech apparently because this forum really is public property.
