GC only cherry-picks the parts of the text he wants to read/address and pretends the rest doesn't exist. He does this with remarkable efficiency. It's almost as if he's been practicing for years...
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

The thing is, there will always be cases of people breaking the rules. Any particular teacher could try and stop a kid from praying, even when the kid has the right to do so in the given context.

But the teacher is wrong to do so. Just like the teacher would be wrong to force students to pray. Atheists don't automatically support any and all attempts to "oppose" religion by any random person. I'll stick up for anyone's right to practice their religion, as long as it is done with due respect for others.

tireder is not a word.
More tired is correct.

I've seen it on the news over the last few years, so I can't give you anything other that that, sorry.

I heard on the news recently that Christians have been murdering and mutilating non-Christians at a rate ten times greater. Oh, I can't remember exactly where I heard it, but rest assured I did, so it's true. Now you need to take me super seriously and introduce my "facts" into your world view.

Meanwhile there are Christian terrorist groups in the U.S.:

Let's not forget Paul Jennings Hill, Eric Rodolph, James Charles Kopp, and the Army of God.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Jennings_Hillhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_Go..._States%29https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Rudolph  Hardly representatives of Christians everywhere, but certainly out there and busily killing gays, lesbians and especially abortionists in the name of god.

And anti Muslism Christian nuts Robert Duggart.  Not aware of his violent anti muslim terrorist plans?  Well, that's because this is a majority Christian country, and his violent ideas don't fit our stereo type of who kills who. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20...press.html

Not to mention The Christian Identity Movement in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Identity
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

More than that they let him walk on parole after learning about his plans. Do you think, anyone would have gotten parole if it had been the other way round?

No he didn't that was a polite way of ignoring your futile attempt at being dishonest, this is suppose to be a forum where people share ideas not lies.

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.
