RE: Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!
June 16, 2014 at 9:48 pm
So, after Jesus' death nothing happens. For 100-150 years, nothing. So now, all these early Christians are like, WTF? My great great grandpa said this Yeshua guy was supposed to come back before he died. Nothing? Maybe this shit ain't real? And then this guy (NOT Peter, mind you, this epistle is recognized by biblical scholars to be pseudepigraphical) in the early church movement is like "well God is different, guys, to him a day isn't a day, you know?"
And there you have it. An easy stifling of early skepticism. A skill the church honed and practiced until the enlightenment. Then the people started to grow smarter than the church. It's slow, but the intelligentsia is slowly taking over.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Wash your mouth out with Jim beam! Lier Lier! (Covers both ears whilst shaking head) like any good brainwashed christian...
In all seriousness, how many humans on earth will pass the strict criteria of the bible or the q'ran and pass in the ark. He'll be giving tickets away towards the end, just to fill up seats...
Is sexual excitement a sin? What about getting aroused just listening to Susan Boyle sing!

Would people believe in the Bible if an Englishman hadn't written it?

According to some believers, yes. One might ask why did god gave us body parts for sex, if we are not supposed to use them?
Most grievous is that their god gave them brains, only for them keep it unused.

Maybe that's their strategy? You see, their brains will be the most valuable as they are in near new condition as they have never been used.... They're a sneaky bunch, I'll give them that much....

Indeed, but the way I see it, the brain is like muscles and the penis. The more you use them, the more proficient those organs work.
