You know a woman loves you when she'll say "cunt" for you just because you ask her to.

I don't see any condemnation of the sort of belief system that makes people lap that shit up from yourself or other theists on here except where you're trying to cover your hypocritical ass. Just one more example of how fucked you are in the head, that you can't see things right in front of your face. Why don't you get off my balls about it and go scream at PureFlix, people who are actively putting out Nazi-level propaganda? After all, they're the ones on your side, whether you like it or not.
You're right, you didn't say you wanted ALL theists to die. Just those of us who convey our faith to our children.
You did say, however, that you hated all of us. You accused my mom and dad of child abuse and called them assholes. You've called me a cunt, a liar, a hypocrite, and said I'm fucked up in the head - for no reason other than because I am a practicing Christian. And you made the sweeping generalization that "Christians think atheists deserve to die" based on your incorrect assessment of a silly movie that does not speak for all Christian people. You are literally doing the same bigoted, hateful thing you accuse all of us of doing.
That movie certainly does not speak for all Christians.
And let it be known that this fucking doofus, Astonished, doesn't speak for all atheists. Thank fuck.

Apparently neither does the bible. Amusing.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

The Bible is a contradictory mess. It's not possible to believe in every word of it even if you're a complete literallist for the same reason that it's not possible to believe that something is both a square and a circle or both 4 and 5 or anything else that's logically incompatible. It's possible to believe that you believe in something contradictory... but you can't actually believe in a contradiction (well, obviously you can believe that a contradiction exists. I mean that you can't believe that X 100% is and X 100% isn't at the same time).

You have a very poor understanding of Christianity if you think Christianity = a literal interpretation of every passage in the bible.
As Ham said, with all the contradictions, it wouldn't be possible anyway.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I was just pointing out how anyone claiming to believe anything about the mythology, since the only source of it is those various translations, is inevitably a hypocrite. Which is what I've been saying from the beginning. So it just makes horsefeathers of anyone saying they're a Xtian when no one has a clear definition of it. If that's not a recipe for insanity, I'd like to see what is.

Yep. Cherry picking and making up your own meaning is all that can be done. It's like paint by numbers only instead it's paint by whatever-you-personally-believe-is-up-there-up-above-for-some-reason.
Satan believes in "Up up above" too.

Christianity is belief in Jesus and His teachings.
Apart from that, there can be various interpretations of bible passages and denominations.

Quote:Christianity is belief in Jesus and His teachings.
Modern Christianity is . When Christianity started it was as much about weather or not their was a jesus what if anything he taught was really his teachings . And lots and lots of squabbling about the most basic tenets of the religion . Almost as if Christianity was just a re hatch of already previously thought up idea's jumbled in one set of idea's . Then due to it's own instability torn apart again.
