In Case You Thought Religion Makes Society Less Violent

[Solomon Zorn]

Sorry for calling you a moron. I should have said delusional zealot.

And yet you DO surprise me with your attempt to understand where I'm coming from for a change, instead of preaching.

I could stop with the derogatory comments if you like, but that means you'll have to stop reasoning in circles, and condescending to preach at me. I don't think you can do it. Do you?

Hey guys on a serious note I an learning a lot from you guys..It won't change who I am but thanks for not kicking me off the site. Maybe we can discuss what we have in common one day.

Evangelists want to change who you are.  This is why evangelists wear out their welcome mat early, on the Web or at home ;-)  There is always a bit of disturbing egotism around evangelists.  Even the Buddha, the first great evangelist, was guilty of it.

"field of blood"  basically the same as Ge-Hinnom ... public property, the land fill, not kosher because of the blood, and other trash.  Fires burned there constantly to get rid of what was burnable.  For people in Jerusalem, this was synonymous with Hell ... and since in one extra-Biblical retelling, Jesus descended into Hell ... this matches the most likely scenario, that his body wasn't laid in an expensive un-used tomb, but put out with the rest of the trash.  Only the rich got tombs ... the rest got something like that stone quarry pit from Ben Hur where the lepers were being segregated.  Again because the dead are non-kosher ... archeology shows that Calvary wasn't a hill, but an unused quarry.

So much waste over a fictional character. Get a fucking life, moron.

This is why I would rather believe in Da'an ... a fictional character from a more modern fiction ;-)

I really see that you don't understand the bible. By the way it's written by men but inspire by God which no other book on this earth can say. And please give me just one error the BIBLE has that YOU found and I'll be more that happy to explain it to... Now don't cheat and Google anything. I want to test your knowledge of you have any. And by the way Because I see how illiterate you are when it comes to scripture. A parable is a earthly experience with a spiritual meaning...I sorry maybe that's too deep. Lol.

You understand the Bible?  As opposed to know about it?  Really?

Many make claims, but few actually know what they are talking about.  The modest realize this, and don't make embarrassing claims.  So how much Sumerian cuneiform have you studied?  Or Egyptian hieroglyphic?  Not that anything is wrong with repeating polemic and apologetic ... but they aren't modern scholarship neither ;-))

Josh....in Proverbs 14:15 it says the simple believes everything but the prudent gives thought to all his steps.

Which one are you?

It must be horribly terrifying for an atheist to go through a round-a bout..

Ooo...you really zinged me there! I don't think I can possibly top that...calling me a woman, I mean...wow...what a low blow...and clever at the same time...I'll have to think for a day or two... maybe come up with something on the same level.

I'm disappointed with the way people here handle disagreement. I thought that atheists were supposed to be open minded and tolerant. Based on my experiences with atheists both before and after I lost my faith, atheists tend to have a superiority complex, and quickly resort to name calling. I don't care how enlightened or intelligent you think you are, it doesn't give you permission to be an ass to someone who dares to be wrong on the internet. That kind of attitude will not change anyone's mind; it'll just turn them off from your point-of-view.

Ironically, some here also seem to forget the possibility that they could be wrong. If you were wrong when you were a Christian, you can still be wrong when you're an atheist or non-Christian. Instead of keeping a cool head and a mind open for the possibilities, some would rather discredit and demean whoever offends them with their different opinions.

Okay...I've got one:

If you're wondering if I'm a man or not, just ask your mom.

But if you're wondering why God brought you here, it was to witness the secret Atheist transformation...you see, this is my 665 post which means on the next post I become...
