@jamesearlcash500

a few things... "able to come into the world"? isn't this god we're talking about? also, I with my puny human brain can think of 3 ways off the top of my head i would persuade people to do what i wanted without killing them, had i infinite power. It would be easy if i was god. Why would he be so uncreative? are you willing to bet money there isn't a single story of god permitting rape?

[jamesearlcash500]

it doesnt permit rape in the bible, it has storys about rape, but its not permited, it has storys about many things that arent permited, what words did i put in jimmys mouth? hes turned pedophilia into a joke sevral times, oh and by the way the punishable by death crimes were in the old testiment, its easy to see why God would have to use such serious punishment before he was able to come into the world, people are violent and lustful. i want to see Jimmy car make fun of mohammad in the same way

[YoYoRemix1]

It is, I never said that catholicism or christianity is the right and only way to go. People have a choice whether they want to believe in something or not whether it be christianity, islam, hinduism or nothing at all. I for one do believe but I am not forcing my opinion or beliefs on other people.

[doubledutch6rudder]

@YoYoRemix1 so by that logic, your god is in no way based in the real world, and every other religion is just as equal and right as yours

[doubledutch6rudder]

@jamesearlcash500 Funny, another example of how atheists know more about the bible and religion then the religious do. You can find pages of evil and morally horrible acts in the bible. Slavery, rape, and a huge list of crimes punishable by death. And stop putting words in atheists mouths

[The1VoiceOfReason]

@BaneOfAzrael U are so right. Bible also says stuff like that u should stone children to death if they are disobedient and when at war kill everyone except the little female children which u should keep for yourselves (in other words rape).

Bible is not a moral guideline unless u find being a childkilling rapist moral. Also the ten commandments are stolen from hammurabis code so there were laws guiding behaviour before bible.

@jamesearlcash500

you could however, rape a girl you found her to be pretty and pay her parents a small sum of money for her to be my wife (assuming she is not engaged or married otherwise you’d both be stoned to death).

You can have your bible rules, I’m going to stick to the ones that are rational

@jamesearlcash500 I will not be ruled by a sick tyrant. GO back to the dark ages this is the 21'st century.
