If you are comfortable with people at work and you know nobody knows what your hand writing looks like, write verses in them pointing to the nasty parts, like the incest, genocide, creating evil and even spreading dung in human's faces. 

I've left notes, not defaced, but left notes on scrap paper doing that with hotel bibles. Someone at some point will pick it up, even if it is just the maid cleaning the room. 

Tracts  I have thrown in the trash while at work.

Ooh!  I have a long list of favorite nasty verses!  I could actually type them up, and cut them in little strips - easy to put in tracts and anonymous.  Thanks Brian!

You mean we don't have to disprove it?!  Is this a change of heart?

No change of heart, he should have proof from the doctors it's something tangible for skeptics like yourself.

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.

Also can someone tell me, what good does it do to promise not to flood the world again, if you're just going to set the world on fire later?

When he said "I promise not to kill everyone in a flood again" you'd think the important part would be "not kill everyone". But to him, the important part of that promise is not using water the next time he commits mass murder.

That's a very good observation.  I haven't seen anyone make it before.  I wonder what kind of sign Yahweh will use after he roasts everything so that people will know that he won't burn them again?

Yea, I am not into destroying property. So yea, type them up and then leave them in bibles like book marks someone will pick it up and read it eventually.

Supposedly this will be the last time he does so, where he takes everyone who he convinced to worship him (the minority of the planet, so great "victory" there, buddy), and kills everything else. Then everyone who still exists lives in heaven, or New Jerusalem. He won't need to make a sign afterwards, because everyone will likely be stripped of their free will. Because you can't have free will without sin, as some theists like to argue.

RE: The joys of living in the bible belt
I have a similar story.

Just before I was married I lived in a small house in a downtown area. It was a older neighborhood, houses real close together, small yards right on the street. One Sunday afternoon I had just gotten back from fishing and I was flaying the fish on the bow of my boat. The boat was in the driveway. A fat guy wearing a yellow button down shirt, bow tie and suspenders and a teenage girl wearing a flowered Mennonite type dress walked up to me.

He asked my if I had heard the good news about Jesus Christ. I cracked a beer and said that I had not but I was certain he would tell me. Then I went about cleaning the fish. When I cracked open the second beer a few min later he asked me to please not drink alcohol in front of his daughter. I then told him he was free to leave at anytime. Then he started praying for me and asking Jesus to forgive my sins.

Eventually I went inside, making it clear they were not welcome. They left a few creationist pamphlets on the porch, mainly they attempted to discount radio carbon dating.

Because a flood would put the fires out!

Ah, now it makes sense.
