No moral person can read the bible and not be convinced that Yahweh was a psychopath. |
Do you have a disease or something? Have you ever posted anything on this site that wasn't filled with atheistic posturing? |

[quote="Bingo"]Here we go again with people talking about what Jesus thought. We know absolutely NOTHING about what he thought. There is no evidence that he even existed. (Remember, people back then believed Hercules was an actual person too.) If he did exist we know absolutely nothing about him. He left no records. None of the gospel writers had met him. The gospels were written decades after he had died (if he existed at all). And the gospels do not portray Jesus as totally moral. In fact, he could be a downright jerk at times. At times he appears racist and sexist, and believed his opponents were going to burn in hell. He wouldn't give one disciple a day off to go bury his father. He told another that he must hate his family, otherwise he was unfit to be his disciple. So much for family values Jesus.

If Hercules is not real, then how could he have been in so many movies over the years, not to mention his TV Show.  |

| But he did thunder against sodomy, feminism, atheism, perversion, theft, laziness, oppressive bureaucracy, excessive taxation, idolatry, drunkeness, body piercing and wearing the opposite sex's clothes. maybe he was Muslim. |

I don't know him well, but he has a point. If I though, for even a second, the Bible was God's word and not just a man made way to control the masses, I wouldn't have a very high opinion of the Christian God. I still don't have the highest, but the Bible doesn't show him in a very good light. |

That's not in question at all. It's just that everything he ever writes is always the same thing. Being right doesn't vindicate him. We were having a fun conversation about these silly churches, and nobody needed him to come on and put his own mushroom stamp on top of it.
I could add that E=MC^2, and while that is essentially correct, it contributes nothing to the conversation. |

Esperanto has a mandatory accusative case, whereas usage of the one in Ido depends on the word order. There was some hwangsa today which made it less sunny than it could have been. |

How much evidence do I have to show you in order for you to start believing that George W Bush is responsible for the assassination of JFK? |
