“Woe to him who strives with Him who formed him...Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ or ‘Your work has no handles’? Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’ or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’” Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel..."will you command Me concerning my children and the work of my hands? I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host." —God in Isa.45:9

Are you still trolling my board? I'm not interested in watching you copy and paste the Bible at me. Either contribute something meaningful or kindly piss off.

Theist: Copy and paste any of that crap from the Qu'ran and pretend a Muslim is saying it to you. Do you feel worried in the slightest? No? That's how worried you make the rest of us feel. I mean seriously dude, do you have any idea at all how stupid and laughable you look right now?

How does scientific study of religious belief strike you as disrespectful?

Besides, I am under no obligation to respect any establishment that willfully endorses superstitious gullibility in its membership, nor do I have to respect the people who happily allow themselves to be exploited by such organizations.

Revelation of John 21:8:

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

@PachucoDesigns

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, who frustrates the signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who turns wise men back and makes their knowledge foolish, who confirms the word of his servant and fulfills the counsel of his messengers... —Isaiah 44:25

Song of Solomon 8:6:

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.
