@BIGSTRO64 The Bible starts off with Abraham selling-out his wife Sarai in order to save his neck when he went down to Egypt. It pretty much just keeps getting worse from there re: women. We have a whole book of fallen people, getting more and more confused about who God is and how to live. Prophets spent a good chunk of their time saying that a Messiah would show up and that he would bear divine characteristics. He finally did, 2000 yrs ago. Read the story right man.

@quakerman7 and the most damaging quote out of the NT is by jesus himself.....think not of tomorrow just follow me.......screw your kids family friends society ...just follow me...especial when i bring on the destruction of this world.......great....thanks all powerful all knowing...you new when you made us that this would happen....but you couldnt change anything....the whole book should be scrapped new and old....its not a moral guide or cares about the people that worship it just its on image

[BIGSTRO64]

@BIGSTRO64 oh but you dont think the old testament have any reference to the new testament....so the book it was add to has no relativity.....only when the genital yesuah meek and mild... all the thing in the old book can be just thrown out by mere men... you cant have it both ways......so your atheist to some parts of the book but not the whole idea.....so the new testamnet is better than old and we should just live by it.....the the god of this book is not all powerful or all knowing..

[BIGSTRO64]

@quakerman7 leviticus and nubers has alot to say about racism sexism and slavery......how to buy treat and beat slaves....ref to women as property and no better than slaves..who to sleep with..... classism ..how you can take slaves...as long as there not your brethren...but people from lesser tribes around you....i can keep quoting out of these two section alone but i dont have the characters to do so....

@BIGSTRO64 Fine. You don't like WLC? Fine. Try some more debates. Try John Lennox, Ravi Zacharias, Michael Ramsden. Mix it up why don't ya? Do some debates. Do some lectures. Watching such is not for cowards you know. You never know when one side will lay something out that you cannot defeat. On a personal note: 'savage bigots'? Cmon, let's see if you can get a better grasp of history, will ya? The NT defeats, racism, sexism, classism, slavery. Can you quote the passages that do this?

@BIGSTRO64 Science is only one discipline among many. Each discipline has its own tool-set. As for money: I agreed. That is why I only go to churches who do 3 things: 1) do not take donations from non-members, 2) isolates the finances between the business leadership and the spiritual leadership, and 3) make an accurate monthly account of their finances. Distrust every other organization that does not follow this model, I say.

[BIGSTRO64]

@quakerman7 uh yes we want proof...proof is testable...proof is knowledge...science is the advancement in the knowledge of the species....whens the last time the bible or church has tried to advance anything...they dont...they wont...the more you know the more likely you will see through there veil of lies and deceit..just keep paying them there money...they will keep you there as long as possible... if every one stop giving religion there hard earned money..it would colapse.. and they know this

[BIGSTRO64]

@quakerman7 WLC is delusional and his views only matter in his head and the poor people he cons into his nonsense..oh dont start with that book of fables parables and myths...to learn biblical anything is to poison you mind with superstitious nonsense...... written by savage bigots in backwards palistine...the knowledge we have gathered as a species dwarfs anything they thought they new 2200 years ago.....with what we know today how can you refer anyone to the bible....
