"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal,genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." - Richard Dawkins
"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." - Thomas Paine
"I will not attack your doctrines, nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men." Robert G. Ingersoll

I talk a bit about money. What it is, what it's not, and why it's important to the continuing debate among anarchists.

The "jealous" god wasn't jealous in the way we understand jealousy - more like jealous in wanting to free people from the enslavement of Egypt. Liike this: "Those people are not yours, they're mine! Let them go/free" Get it, got it? Okay.
I totally understand your perception of the whole religion thing, but then there's the bible and what it says, not what "they" say it says. Thought you'd be interested to at least know.
You have more than proven that you are a pussy.
The oldest surviving fragment of the new testament clearly says 616 and is based on the Latin form Nero Caesar as translated into Hebrew (nrw qsr) where 666 is based on the greek translation or Neron Caesar (nrwn qsr).
So all the conspiracy theories about the mark of the beast pretty much just end up being stories about Nero (also known as 'The Beast') and his reign of terror...
QFT thorkyll, While Jesus was a step up in the "less psychotic" sense, the doctrine of eternal damnation and torture in hell that came from the Jesus movement is just plain sick.
Call the God of the Hebrew Bible what you like, but at least He never taught any nonsense about eternal damnation and hellfire like Jesus, meek and mild, in the New Testament.
