And in return for that, you offer what? Some "good feelings" from those in your immediate surroundings, followed by nothing, forever?

OTOH, God in the Bible offers eternal life for simple, perfect, lifelong obedience to His hundreds of complex, obscure, random to the point of ridiculous strictures.

No, because you shouldn't need a reward to be a just person.

You're really going to have to do better.

Re: Titus Templeton: "Today I am declaring War against Woman's Rights!"

Oh, that's right: without the moral compass provided by Scripture you have absolutely nothing to base your moral decisions on.

If you get your morals from some book, I'd be more than a little concerned. You should be a decent person for the sake of being a decent person. If all that's stopping you from being a terrible person, I'm scared of you.

Re: Titus Templeton: "Today I am declaring War against Woman's Rights!"

You got a source for that? Or at least... something, because as it stands now, it's just conjecture. No atheists worships anything, be it monkeys or Dawkins.

How dare you question a Senior Pastor...the Senior Pastor!

My bad.

And you all worship monkeys and pray to your pope Richard Dawkings. We know all about you atheist scum.

It's not a belief system. It's literally one belief: that god doesn't exist. Nothing else.

1. That they will still get to Heaven even though they've spit in Jesus' beautiful face.

They don't believe in anything of that sort, since they don't believe there's a Heaven to get into, in the first place.

2. That we came from monkeys or eggs or worms or whatever it is this week.

This isn't true, either. No one believes we came from monkeys (nor eggs or worms, for that matter). Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor. Think of it as branching paths.

3. That they can lead a moral life without the benefit of Scripture.

This one's true.

4. Communism.

I mean, I imagine some of them are, but then others are hardcore capitalists, socialists, Keynesians, Marxists, Statists, and everything in between.

5. Darwin is a god.

This is just blatantly false. They might recognize him as being crucial to the advancement of evolutionary theory, but no one thinks of him as a god.

Arguing with me will not end well. Besides, Jesus-haters have all SORTS of things they believe in:


1. That they will still get to Heaven even though they've spit in Jesus' beautiful face.


2. That we came from monkeys or eggs or worms or whatever it is this week.


3. That they can lead a moral life without the benefit of Scripture.


4. Communism.


5. Darwin is a god.


Etc., etc.

Ahhh, I love it when Jesus-haters unintentionally admit that atheism is in fact a belief system, AKA a religion.

FTFY. I do my best not to misrepresent your beliefs. Please, have the same courtesy? Thanks.

Re: Titus Templeton: "Today I am declaring War against Woman's Rights!"

Believing in a 2,000 year old book is not equivalent to breathing air (of which is older than 6,000 years old, by the way).

Appealing to age for credibility is a standard that should apply to all examples, if it is to be accepted by one. Otherwise, you're appealing to a double standard here, another logical fallacy.

How is that a red herring?

Rather than acknowledge your rude and inappropriate behavior of crashing into the one sacred place on the interwebs for men, you wish to argue about the merits of women's rights, or moderator's rights, or I don't even know what you want other than to break up the party because you weren't invited. Even the household hell-bound atheist understands women have no rights, not even the right to breathe. We're born in sin (Psalm 51:5), and because of the nature of The Fall, we are special conduits for Satan (1 Timothy 2:14). The LORD knows this. All True Christians™ know this, for all True Christians™ read, believe, and follow the Holy Bible. The very next verse tells women in what they might find hope for Salvation, despite our disgusting contribution to mankind - bearing children (1 Timothy 2:15). People like you make it hard for women to understand and appreciate this one divine loophole. Kindly shut up before the LORD takes that away from us!

Re: Titus Templeton: "Today I am declaring War against Woman's Rights!"

By that logic, the air you're breathing is no good because it's 6000 years old. Do they not teach logic in public schools any more?

Re: Titus Templeton: "Today I am declaring War against Woman's Rights!"

There's yet to be a convincing reason to place the Bible as the foundation for one's moral and social beliefs, or even why it's relevant at all. It's some two thousand years old, after all.

I just checked every Bible in the house: none of them have an expiration date!
