"I think we ought to give praise not to the Lord thank goodness, but praise to ourselves" - Atkins

"I am on the brink of understanding everything" - Atkins

Atkins is a megalomaniac that thinks he is almost omnipotent. Despite Atkins claim to superior intellect, Atkins lost this debate.

The bible says that Atkins is a fool.

@drpessimistic We could agree to disagree, or we can come to an common understanding that both still have to be proved within the general public?....

[drpessimistic]

@MrLinkinparkrules I am sorry I meant argument. I enjoy debating with you though however, lets come to some common ground.

[MrLinkinparkrules]

@drpessimistic ''an appropriate and worthwhile answer.'' to what?...

[MrLinkinparkrules]

@MrLinkinparkrules but why isnt that seen by the atheist community? Why would you rather seek for negativity within the bible when there really is some beautiful verses like ''eating soup with someone you love is better eating steak with someone you hate.'' And what about when Jesus pleads your and the cases of millions? A scripture cannot only be correct when it suites you, right? So when those negative views are brought up, the positive shouldn't be left in the dark.

[drpessimistic]

@MrLinkinparkrules I have little or no patience I would be extremely happy when you give me an appropriate and worthwhile answer.

[MrLinkinparkrules]

@drpessimistic haha dude you said, ''There are countless acts that even your deity has committed that any self-respecting human would find distasteful''... those are not acts you stated, those are words, the bible says if someone has sexual intercourse before marriage, they should be killed, I did that, and Im not going on about that, since Jesus came, alot has changed, we dont even have to sacrifice a baby lamb, baby bull or any of that because the one true God sacrificed his son for us.

[drpessimistic]

@drpessimistic I can easily expand more if you like these are just some of the women atrocities. Then he of course committed genocide and did not penalize slavery.

@drpessimistic "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges 19:24-25)

@drpessimistic "When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)

@MrLinkinparkrules Just because you can list one person who probably wasn't sufficiently scientifically literate anyway but, that is besides the point. You wanted evidence of some of the atrocities here please explain these to me. "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9)
