The references to the romans are thourough-and well thought out-the creation of a savior to keep the people pacified and to bring a difference into their religiouis beliefs as The Jews were rising and becoming stronger and were assembling to bring an end to the tyranny they suffered at Romes hands-to see that the heart of Christianity is in turmoil constantly because of all the mistakes that are clearly delivered by the writers and the bad grammer and how Jesus would turn the other cheek and make pacifist of the resistance that were willing to fight for their freedom-If you do not see the clear indicators that showed not a God but a brilliant device to help to control the masses and also to disrupt the people that were enslaved-and how this WEAPON you call The Bible has been used to cheat people of their lives-with the threat of a Loving God that would burn YOU in a Hell-and so the story goes-until Revelations-where-by God has surrounded himself with monsters-much like Ceasar's court!t

...when they think a question will stump the Atheists? That "I'm going to watch and see what they have to say on this one" attitude? The one that shows they think they are better than others and this particular question shows how they can't be touched? The one that shows they absolutely won't actually entertain any of the answers? You can just see them rubbing their hands together in glee.

I'm not saying that's the norm. Don't you think that's a bit unchristian-like? Or certainly unbecoming? But mostly just sad because even if they read the answers, they don't "get" them? It makes me feel embarassed for them. Is that unreasonable?

What do you consider the Atheist equivalent? And why is it always the Christian chicks?

Why do some preachers use this scripture for the offering time? I don't see any principles about financial success in that scripture. Am I wrong?

Serious anwers, please.

Karr knows prisons in Thailand are worse than in America...so maybe he's trying get away from there free of charge.

And there's more...read on:
The killer was comfortable enough to sit down in the house and write a three page "ransom" note. The killer managed to go to the correct bedroom to get the girl without waking anyone else.

The killer wrote the note on a pad of paper belonging to the Ramsey's using a pen that also belonged to the Ramsey's.

The "ransom" note makes reference to a specific amount ...$118,000 ... the exact amount of a recent bonus for Mr. Ramsey. The number of suspects who would have this specific knowledge is VERY short.

The amount is rather low for a ransom, indicating the criminal is rather oddly unfamiliar with money.

The note has three quotes from action movies, such as "Don't try to grow a brain."

There were no signs of a forced entry into the house. Just a window that was "faulty".

The killer made the garrot from one of Patsy's paint brushes.

The DNA is very suspect. The miniscule amount collected took eight years to develope into a profile. Plenty of time for contamination.

There was no semen and the autopsy was unconclusive as to sexual assault.

The murder occurred on Christmas day, a time of stress for many families. Statistically, a murder on a holiday will be committed by a family member. Think Scott and Lacey Peterson.

Obviously the murderer is a family member. And obviously the family knows which of them did it. If either parent did it, they would have turned on the other.

But they WOULD protect their only remaining child.

The note can be found on the web. Read it for yourself. It is the work of a precocious nine year old who saw one too many action film.

For Christians Love is everything. I understand that the reason why we do things is because our Love and its opposites but I think you will lose the other points. God is not only love. God can also hate the sinners, disobedient, the hypocrites, idol worshippers, if they do not stop and repent. God also can punish you and take you to account. Look at the innocent people's (children) lives that were taken without a just cause and got away with it. God will put those people to account for their actions no matter what they BELIEVE. Love is not everything and this temporary life is not only about love. So wake up and stop relying on someone else 'loving you' and dying for your sins.

Elohim is the name used for God 2,570 times in the OT. Yahweh is used to name God 5,311 times in OT. Jehovah is only used in the Old King James Version. What about some of these names - Creator (Genesis 1:1), Lord (2Samuel 7:28), Sovereign Lord (from NIV), God Almighty (Genesis 17:1), God of Hosts (Joshua 5:14), God Most High (Genesis 14:22), God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob, The Eteternal or Everlasting, Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9), The King (Psalm 47:6 - 8), God of Heaven & earth, Holy One of Israel (Proverbs 9:10), God of my Salvation (Psalm 88:1), God our Healer (Exodus 15:26), etc. etc. Get to know God. Isn't this wise?

Why does there have to be a label placed on oneself, and why do most female/female relationship end up being a femine and more butch/manly looking type? If your a femine type of a gal, and your into a manly looking woman, why not be with a MAN, or better yet why couldn't you just be a female dating female.... where no one takes on a distinction?

Since the raging argument will never end, AND since theists are never going to abandon their faith based thinking no matter how many logical and well thought out explanations we give them, AND since critical thinkers are never going to start making insane "leaps of faith" based on the theists' looney pleas, I would like to institute the following method to save us all a lot of typing and exasperation.

From this point forward, I propose we embrace an acronym and simply provide it as a one word answer to ANY AND ALL ASANINE THEISTIC ARGUMENTS.

AMSVDBS

Another
Moron
Seeking
Validation
(of their)
Deluded
Belief
System

Maybe it will catch on, and then we can focus on dialogues with intelligent people who are actually seeking knowledge and an exchange of ideas, as opposed to people who just look for an answer they agree with. Reasonable theistic questions, of course, should still be addressed. At the very least, it will save countless wasted keystrokes. Who's with me?
