First of all, the words you choose to use in your speech reveal the lack of knowledge that you posses, yet you profess that it is Christians that are the ignorant ones. Swearing does NOT reinforce your point. Secondly, read ALL of Isaiah 13, then revise your position on what Isaiah 13:16 means. It's not God's declaration, it is a prophecy about what the Medes and Persians will do to the Babylonians.

As for the other quote, give me a week to look into it, i'll have an answer.

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions." Thomas Jefferson

It is GOD's prophecy of what HE will COMMAND asshole. But of you don't like that passages there are MANY more COMMANDING mass murder, slavery, rape and cannibalism. You worship an imaginary thug worse than Hitler and Genghis Khan combined.

two completely different situation one of them has justification the other doesn't

@joo01991

What justification could there EVER be for torturing someone FOREVER? Infinite punishment for finite crimes is beyond monstrous. And sacrificing an innocent person as punishment for someone else's crimes is INSANE.

@FlyingFree333 proof you don't understand the Bible

@pimpedpope

Proof you're full of shit. Atheists are the most knowledgeable group on the planet about world religions, christians are the least knowledgeable. I personally have read the bible twice and studied its history and scholarship and lived with a bible scholar. There is NO context that justifies the mass murder and rape of children.

Keep walking? Hell no, I'd run out of sight and then call the specialists to pick the guy up.

Sounds as creepy when Jesus says it, as it does when Dan says it. Why people can't work this simple fact out on their own is mind boggling. Great vid.

[ruthless6661]

the bible justifies the rape of 3 yr old children read it full of filth

[Rockster969]

Go tell your scummy lies for jebus to the amalekites.

Well said.

@FlyingFree333 if you were able to read through the old testament without requiring counselling I commend you - I found it horrifying and a clear explanation of why Israel is a deranged fascist police state, based upon racist ideals, and mass delusional psychosis
