The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

RE: A small thanks to the resident Theists..
Aractus why exactly don't you believe the Bible is the unerring word of god? It says it is, after all. And it says to follow it or you will go to hell. From what I have ascertained, these three specific theists I've identified are perfectly justified in their beliefs based on their infallible direct communications with the creator of all the universe *and beyond.
My qualm isn't specifically the things written in the Bible because they sound a lot like they were written by man and as we both know, it was written by men. My own mother believes so, and follows the god of love she believes exists and I certainly don't accuse her of anything. You know why?
Because she doesn't A. Tell me I'm going to Hell, or B. Defend such quackery as being the unerring word of GOD. I'm talking about people who defend moral murder in the name of God and are willing to submit to such a creature their morality and loyalty down to their core beliefs which influence their actions.

Did I specifically name you or something in my post? If not, then don't tell me that I'm telling you what you believe.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

THEBIBLE Wrote:Deuteronomy 21:18-21
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Tell me something, why do you keep bring up these above ^ verses I've already explained and no one has argued the explanation. Again, I say if you were in church you could not have been listening to teachings and why do I say this, because you do not listen here, all you know how to do is go to atheist sights and copy verses, or say I've not read the scriptures, sad, really sad.

Quote:Leviticus 20:9
For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

You apparently have no idea what God was trying to accomplish with His chosen people, until you can come to this understanding you will never understand the OT. Nevertheless I'm going to explain this to you this time only, so if you want to throw out this verses again I'll just ignore you because of your ignorance.
The word curse in Lev. 20:9 is expounded upon in Deut. 21:18-21. The full meaning of the Lev. 20:9 is found in the verses in Deut. So now all you need to do is find the explanation I've given in the past and you'll have it.

Quote:2 Kings 2:23-24
He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.

Oh boy, how ridiculous. Just to show you I'll give the effort, I went and looked up the Hebrew for tore and it does not indicate death, nor does any of the other translations of those verses I reviewed. Now that we have that out of the way let's examine the verses, those boys were not only mocking Elisha but, God as well. We know these boys came from Bethel which at the time was the center of pagan idol worship in Israel the Northern Kingdom. These boys were telling Elisha not to come to Bethel and bring God's word because no one there wanted to hear it. So God punished those boys for their mockery and rejection of His prophet and His word.


Quote:Oh, and then there's these.. But I'm sure you just read right over those or who knows.. Maybe you liked it.

You pick them out two at a time and I'll try and explain each one, if you do not then that's fine. I'm not sitting here and going through all of them and making a ridiculously long post. Besides I do not have that kind of time, it will be much easier to do two at a time.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Why do you need proof for this? If you don't read the Bible anyway, then why the fuck do you care, troll fish?

Why do you constantly respond to posts not addressed to you?
Do you have proof of her claim? If not, then you can fuck off because you're full of fluff and zero substance.
