And are you ok with that?
Remembering that people who's only crime is not believing in your god are to be condemned to hell eternal, are you seriously ok with a sadistic murderer getting into heaven?
Because if you are, you have no fucking concept of morality at all.

I think I asked this before, but where is the line that determines when you stop being a Christian? Christians admit that man is but a lowly sinner who depends on god's undeserved mercy and Christ's ransom sacrifice. Therefore every Christian does unchristian things now and then. Where is the line that you use to decide that Hitler isn't a Christian and someone else is?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

So you're okay with murderers getting an ultimate reward, while non-murdering atheists get eternally punished? That's justice, to you?

There is nothing in the theory of evolution that would make any rational person expect that there would be no disease or mental illnesses.
For several reasons: One, we are biological organisms. So are most diseases. Those diseases evolve, too. Two, genetic mutations occur in every person. Most of those mutations will be deleterious. This is expected, even necessary for evolution to work. Third, there are environmental factors involved with many mental illnesses/retardation. A woman drinking alcohol while pregnant, premature birth, head trauma. Lastly, humans aren't as sexually selective about things like mental illness any longer. My girlfriend suffers from clinical depression. I would never even consider not having children with her for that reason. So the gene will survive in our potential children. There is not much negative selection pressure. (There still is some, but not a lot)
your answer makes sense

What sort of bloody answer is that?!?!
Do you actually have any original thoughts in your head or are you just a mindless drivel spouting jesusbot!?
And that is the difference between you and your ilk and us.
We actually think about things and try to arrive at the truth,
You on the other hand just spew out whatever inane bullshit has been ladled into your empty skull by the same preacher that has emptied your pockets.
You're not even capable of a coherent and intelligible, let alone an intelligent response.

The believers generally read it through their god glasses, and usually not the whole thing - just the sections they agree with and think should apply to them.
His point is moot, anyways, because it's not as if there are secret details that are going to somehow magically explain the overall narrative that we're all familiar with, thanks to Christians.
Their objections about not having read the bible are simply a distraction from the fact that god sacrificed himself to get around rules he created, which makes no sense.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
