The Bible doesn't equal God. The Bible = a bunch of men who wanted to put together a way to get people to think exactly like them, all the while claiming it was God's work. It wasn't God's work, it was their own. Then you continue the same path by claiming the same.
If God created the Bible, then why did he choose to exclude the vast majority of the population of the world? Why would he create a minority of "enlightened" people only to leave the majority to hell? What benevolent and loving God would doom the majority of His creation to hell? Amazingly,many other minorities think THEY are the enlightened ones and everybody else goes to hell. Yet more greedy men clamoring for power.
The key is, God wouldn't Idiotic evangilists who want more power would. They are greedy and corrupt and insecure in their beliefs that they have to create a "them or us" attitude, they are cowards and close-minded fools.
God doesn't live in a Bible, a cross, or a fekkin church. You want God's Bible? Go outside, smell the air, trees, and his creation. Ignore all of that BS and do right by others. THAT is God, not some fekkin piece of paper.

Cancelled are the Ori

There's still hope, a higher power only known as "the network" may pick them up and save them.
Yeah, I thought the word is NBC or TBS or somebody else already picked them up for another season.

You want to go to church and all that? Fine. Go. Doesn't affect me in the least.
You a atheist? Fine. Doesn't affect me in the least.
Just STFU about whatever it is you believe or don't believe.
There are eight very strong criticisms of the Wager, which can be read in this Wikipedia article. I highly recommend it to those who take this line of thinking seriously.This is how Alec Fisher puts The Wager in his book The Logic of Real Arguments (2004):
Either there is a Christian God or there isn't. Suppose you believe in His existence and lead a Christian life. Then, if he does exist you will enjoy eternal bliss and if He doesn't exist you will lose very little. But suppose you don't believe in His existence and don't lead a Christian life. If He doesn't exist you will lose nothing, but if He does exist, you will suffer eternal damnation! So it is rational and prudent to believe in [a Christian] God's existence and to live a Christian life.

If you bothered to read the thread you would have known two things:
1) This points was already made and reiterated
2) The real topic at hand is about the wonderful world of Stargate
