I feel rather fortunate that I'm existing at the same time as this brialliant intellectual.

@ALLKINDZASH1T Yeah but you're forgetting the one thing that makes what you say wrong. WE ARE HERE, and Earth exists. Therefore, it must be OVER zero chance, and anything over means it CAN happen, so how unlikely it may be is irrelevant.

"There is no Big Brother in the sky." Brilliant!

Don't have anything against Christopher Hitchens however, he is wrong. Jesus created the universe, and yes because there was a supreme creator therefore we are accountable to this God whether we like it or not. Jesus died on the cross so we can have a way of forgiveness its up to us to accept or reject, and will be justly punished for our rebellion.

@ALLKINDZASH1T "But if it meant that my daughter would be reduced to a life as a street prostitute, Yes I would rather her dead."

Whoever was arguing this idiot has lost the opportunity to grab a hold of this gem, and to fervently shout, "I rest my case."

@ALLKINDZASH1T - All my quotes were also directly from the KJV. SO HOW COULD THEY BE "MODIFIED OR BIASED"?? You FAIL.

I have thoroughly beaten you, and showed where you were wrong in every case. You "study the bible almost every single day" and yet you don't seem to be aware of the bullshit that's in there!

Try reading a real book, perhaps. Science, philosophy (also judging by your posts, punctuation) - not superstitious claims of ancient myth.

[ALLKINDZASH1T]

@libomann Actually, I posted the direct KJV verses.. Please don't make statements that are so easily and effortlessly falsified, move on. So if your an athiest your knowledge of bible symbolism and meanings of phrasing must be pretty strong because you spend so much time on it, NOT. I study the bible almost every single day,so who is more credible when it comes to interpreting a cumulative book... The person who has spent more time on it... You have been defeated, enough time wasted.

@ALLKINDZASH1T - "you posted modified, biased, and out of context meanings " -- what is modified or biased about the King James Version? Is KJV invalid?

YOUR interpretations are outlandish and biased and invalid.

[ALLKINDZASH1T]

@libomann Lol So what your saying is despite the FACT that you posted modified, biased, and out of context meanings to verses, then I posted the verses in their entirety to debunk you're claims, which they did, somehow I am automatically wrong? But I see you already live under the assumption that an "ignorant christian" could never prove you wrong. Well with evidence I have shown the true context and disassembled your claims, regardless of admittance. I pray to the one true GOD, Yahweh

[libomann]

@ALLKINDZASH1T - "I grow tired of the deceit ..." - I know you do. Because it is not "deceit" it is full, unmodified citations from your book of myths and hideous "laws" which you desperately strive to rationalize. But you cannot.

I have proved you, at every turn, completely wrong.

I thank you for one thing: ending this by merely "praying" for me (to which "god"? Krishna? Zeus?)

I thank you, because you did not resort to the typical Christian threat of eternal torure.

Wish you best.

[ALLKINDZASH1T]

@libomann I grow tired of the deceit rolling off the tips of your fingers. I have proved you wrong, and I know that full well, but I don't do so for the Glory of my own pride but to restore the truth to you and readers. I will pray for your heart on this Sabbath day.
