Oh no! Christian pastor finally "destroys" atheism
What are we gonna do now?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Christian minister’s exorcism ritual included oral sex and gemstones
Prominent Presbyterian Minister Rev. Dr. William Weaver allegedly has been using what he called “healing acts” to help men who went to him for counseling since 1999.
After covering the naked young man in stones, Weaver ran a feather along his body, kissed him, and then performed oral sex to remove evil energy. Weaver referred to this evil energy as “hits.” Meeker wrote that the pastor would conclude every session in the same way.

Let's face it: if you're dumb enough to believe in exorcism you're gonna get hurt one way or another.

Funny thing is though the idea something cannot come from nothing is an assertion not a fact .Just because we don't observe things in a universe of something coming from nothing doesn't mean it can't because we have never found nothing let alone determine something cannot come from it .

That's what all arguments for God come down to: fallacies. Like appeal to ignorance which seems one of the most popular among religious people and especially Christians. "We don't know something and therefore God" but in most cases it's not even "we" as a collective, but just that person's lack of education.
In other words, there could never be an evidence for God that you can point your finger at like it is with Moon and tides or transitional fossils and evolution, but only fallacies.

Pastor E.W. Lucas put up the sign "America: Love it or leave it" at Friendship Baptist Church in Appomattox.
The congregation at the church walked out of the service yesterday in protest.

"Friendship", eh?

Baptist and Friendship rarely go together.

Time for a schism!
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
