Hey retard you and him ought to seek true salvation from Christ-psychosis by seen a neurologist getting comited at the Barrows Neurological Institute. BTW retard, we are in the 21st Century not the 12th.

BELIEF in god and other deluded tales as reality by educated adults is a product of a malfunctioning brain. Seek help really.

Without bothering to look at a website strewn with ancient torture devices, I'd start with this:

Their entire worldview is based on an ancient belief-structure that was patched together from several mythologies (starting with Judaism and throwing in some Mithraism and Orisianism for good measure), and all of their claims lack any kind of reliable supporting evidence.

Ergo, every argument they make is hypothetical at best, useless on a good day, dangerous on a bad day, and downright deadly at worst.

Enrichment, right!

I got my family values from Lot and his daughters and that community that God made into cannibals (where withholding your kid from being eaten was a sin). As Jesus commanded, I refused to bury my parents when they died.

The Bible has all the morals a person needs and more than a good person can stomach.

I got mine from Onan. "Tis better to flog thy bishop than boink thy dead brother's squeeze." Sticky business, that.

In Onan's society refusing to take your dead brother's wife as your wife was like signing their death certificate, or at least condemning them to abject poverty. Onan's lack of morality was in his lack of compassion for his dead brother's wife and his selfishness in considering his own wealth and prosperity first. This is an example of anti-social behaviour not a sexual sin.

Finding meaning in the Bible, or in any other literature, is about finding out what the author meant, not about overlaying your own significance.

If only Onan had gone in a sock instead of spilling it on the ground, everything would have been all right. I don't blame God for not wanting to mop the floor to get Onan's "seed" out of the sand.

Read what was written. Understand what the author intended to say. Don't overlay your own meaning on the text.

As has been pointed out by Bovina many times and by others who actually have some intellect, The OT was written to make the Hebrew people clearly distinct from the old time and place and traditions of their neighbors. Thus, although it was perfectly acceptable to handle and eat pork for anyone else (Jesus had no trouble finding a herd of over 2000 pigs) Hebrews were prohibited.

Therefore, Onan's sin was not masterbation and it was not failure to console the widow, which he could have done in other ways within the rules. It was an instance of God unjustly contradicting His own rules.

Your appeal to the mores of the ancient times and the traditions observed way back then contorts the clear meaning of scripture. Do not overlay your own presumptive understanding of the life and times of ancient Palestine; God's word and God's laws are eternal and unchanging.

Or, are you admitting that the Bible, lacking an actual God for its basis, is no more authoritative than a teenage girl's diary?

That's pretty much what I said Fuchs you fucking pirate!

[anthonyjfuchs]

But I said it with 16 times as many letters.

I get paid by the word, damnit.

But Choobus said it bigger.
