Damn, and now he's gone

@justasimplechristian : Your version of god is the god of the bible. So he commanded all those genocides. He killed every animal and human on the global flood. He killed everybody from Sodoma and Gomorra. He ordered Abraham to kill his son.

He is a monster. A horrible disgusting demented bastard. Thank goodness he is not real.

@justasimplechristian : I wonder what I could reply that would work with you :) I mean its ok you say you want good things for me, but is stupid that you actually believe that I am going to hell. And what is the most disturbing thing about christians is that you think unbelievers deserve to go to hell, and that god is good and just for throwing us to hell. Thats just sick and disgusting.

Out of all the articulated Atheists, Hitchen's is the only one, IMO, that makes it interesting. He can teach non-Atheists new things, without it feeling like a circle-jerk. He has a cool style. Sharp, sarcastic wit. I understand the point of the Atheist ferver, but eventually we will ALL have to leave the seriousness of Religion behind us. The urge to dream and believe in something Higher is inevitable; but it shouldn't be the means toward moral enslavement. Allow my comment; I want to learn.

@justasimplechristian Props to you for still believing in god in your lifetime and let the bible bring you peace, but a lot of us including myself don't believe and have considered a different way to find peace other than religion. In the end, I don't know, I only hope for there to be peace for everyone after this life

@bary1234 Also, be sure to bring up the story in Judges chapter 11, where Jephthah did indeed sacrifice his daughter to "the lord" They conveniently skip over this one in Sunday school lessons, and sermons, don't they??

@bary1234 "He is a monster." <- That's actually a suitable description.

Some entity that visited specifically our planet, specifically humans, in recent time (on a cosmological time scale), is interested in humans' sex lives, and has a fetish for sick punishments and reads our minds. Sounds a lot like the space alien stories of the last century or so, where people have met weird but human-looking aliens. People probably had the same kind of imagination thousands of years ago as well.

@bary1234 I like your post. :) Well said.

Isn't that Santa Clause who knows when you are sleeping or awake , so be gooood for goodness sake! What is this BS called religion dong in this century , when will people give this garbage up?

[Brenda2OOO]

EPIC AND WOWERSOME EXAMPLE!!!!!

@chrism137 to be in a place for eternity with the likes of you isn't heaven, it's your ideal of hell. Hell for me would be filled with jerry falwell's and pat robertson's and catholic priests touching little boys. But you seem to think because you pat your bible and quote things that your supposed learned morality is better and that all others deserve punishment. Then you are no different from islamics, jews, nazis, japanese during ww2, or china. You believe in facism.
