Girl dies of stupid parents

Joking about something like that is risky,

What does that mean.

I know you do not believe, but what if, I've seen things that would make people think twice.

What do those things matter -- they didn't even make you think once, obviously.

Jesus told my 11-year-old daughter to become a hooker. Who am I to say no?

God told Hosea to allow wife to return to prostitution, read the book of Hosea to find out why, you wouldn't believe me if I told you, so I want try.

When my eleven year old daughter had cancer she said she would only undergo treatment if we all gave up being Christians. Here I am today.

Not trying to issue a threat, it wouldn't be responsible of me not to mention this, IMPO.

Most Christians would, certainly most of the ones we know and love in real life.

But the three christians posting in this thread -- and most christians who join atheist forums to argue with/insult people who don't share their religious views -- are not normal christians. (Not even normal people, IMHO. It seems to me that these types are attention whores and nutcases.)

It's fun to watch them make fools of themselves. But, in the end, entertainment is all it's about. It's certainly NOT about learning anything that could be applied to christianity or christians in general.

A big fat wrong.

Anyone else standing next to you see the same thing and had to think twice?

Did they have an explanation you just didn't accept?

Do you believe what you saw, and had to think twice about, was something God was doing and you just happens to be at the right place and right time to see it?

[robvalue]

There's nothing I could possibly see that would instantly make me come to the conclusion, "Yep, God did it." I have no point of comparison, no way to demonstrate supernatural causation, and am honest enough to recognize that I can't explain everything.

Apparently the book you claim to get your morals from isn't very moral.

So joking about cancer is risky, but another theist in this thread has established that cancer is god's way of making people believe in the afterlife.

A big fat wrong.

Care to elaborate on that?

[Nope]

Jesus told me he was just joking with the whole "I am the son of god" thing. So you guys can stop worshipping him now. Find a new hobby. Maybe feed some homeless cats or something.

Jesus told me to stop worrying about my weight and cholesterol and just to eat all the Oreos and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that I want. In fact, Jesus told me that you will all go to hell if you don't send me chocolate NOW. I like you guys too much to not spread the word in how you can save yourselves. Please just do what god wants and send me the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I want to see you all in heaven.

Do you get more respect the more crazy you go?

I've been warned multiple times for being sexist.

For some right wing Christians being sexist is a plus.

[robvalue]

Yeah, the bible is pretty clear on which gender is considered important. Especially in the genealogy sections, you'd think that men reproduced asexually. It's hypocritical of them to slap you down for sexism. Unless you were being sexist against men I suppose :p

[Nope]

GC, do you believe that god would give his innocent daughter cancer to teach whateverist a lesson?

True story that embarrasses me about my family...My mother and grandmother honestly believed that someone in the family would die if they did laundry on New Years Day. Every single year, I would do laundry on New Years Day and call them to tell them to let them know. Their response without fail would be that one year someone would die because I did laundry on January 1rst.

[robvalue]

Hmm. So their argument became, "At some point, someone in the family will die. So stop doing laundry on New Year's Day."

You can't beat superstitious reasoning. You really can't.
