"Religious wars are basically people killing each other over who has the better imaginary friend.

[GOPhatesUSA]

Right from the Bible. I did not make this up.


"Slaves are to be submissive to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking back ." (Titus 2:9)

"Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ." (Ephesians 6:5)

"Slaves, obey your human masters in everything; don't work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord." (Colassians 3:22)

I wish the WingNuts followed this one.
"At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts." (Deuteronomy 15:1)


"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death..." (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)

LOL...
So why did God flood the earth to remove evil? It didn't work! Evil came right back, God should have known that would happen! So why did He bother?

I'm a staunch atheist but even I refuse to take the bait in this thread. This can only end badly.

If you'd like, I can explain the historical context surrounding these verses so you can have a better understanding of their meaning.

But, I assume you are merely trying to espouse your anti-Christian views, so I won't bother.

religion provides great cover, but few wars have really been fought over it. people just use it as an excuse (like people saying the civil war was fought because of slavery).

I am intrigued. What do you mean?

Please do.

OK then...

YACBT (Yet Another Christian Bashing Thread) with a very subtle nod to the Republicans. Nice.

Although, truth be told, I gave two style points for not mentioning them by name and avoiding the temptation to tie them to Nazis in the same thread. :thumbsup:

Subtlety FTW!

I want to know who GOPHatesUSA is? Its got to be an existing member or mod. Its a trollish name that continually posts troll threads which don't even meet the requirements of this message board. I have reported EVERY one of his posts that don't provide links or such and they get ignored. Tell me that doesn't make it suspicious.

I wonder if a DNChatesUSA userid would be banned or blocked? If not already taken to prevent such action?


Still, the best thing is, the group that is most responsible for killing people in the name of religion are Muslims. Hands down they are involved in the majority of the worlds fighting today.

Oh, are we allowed to say that?

More straight from the bible.

"Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says." (1 Corinthians 14:34)

"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." (Leviticus 19:27)

"If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has discovered her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from her people." (Leviticus 20:18)


I have a question.
Christians say that since we and our universe are an intelligent design, that we must have been created by god. But then god is an intelligent design also, so who created him?

Ohh the truth, does it not hurt?
