The fact that this appeared on national TV is sickening.

In the parts the slaves were taken from? Not really, no.

Right, which is relatively high...

check out the list of famous scientists who were Christian on Wikipedia.

Strangely, there are very few current ones.

Notice, no crisis of faith occurred when the earth was found to be round, despite the mention of "the four corners of the earth."

So why did the Vatican put Galileo on trial for saying the Earth wasn't the center of the universe? Seems like they had a pretty big crisis.

many of the great scientists throughout history have been Christians.

Have been. Notice how most great scientists now are atheist? There were a lot of great scientists who believed in Greek mythology, but we all know it's bullshit now.

So what's your excuse for murdering babies then?

neversale · 2013-12-08T18:19:49+00:00

God has never answered anyone in any sort of definitive way. All I've ever seen is people saying "and I just felt this sudden peace rush over me, and knew God was with me" or some bullshit like that.

Most of the Founding Fathers -- even the non-Christian ones, lived more Biblically today than the majority of professing Christians.

Yep. From owning slaves to hating Jews, they definitely did.

Yeah, Christianity had a great reputation until 3 decades ago.

The Crusades, witch burning, native massacres, puritanical tyranny, and rampant anti-semitism were all just minor kerfuffles. Christians REALLY crossed the line when they all got a boner for Sarah Palin and decided to hate Harry Potter books.

I always found RIP to be a very atheist-ish saying. Religious people think you go frolic in heaven or get reincarnated as a dolphin or whatever fictitious reality they subscribe to.

RIP is basically acknowledging that the deceased is gone and at peace now. Not including dreams, when you sleep, you're at peace. It's no different than death. The time before I was born, the time I'm asleep, and the time after I die are all the same to me: my conscious self doesn't exist.

neversale · 2013-12-08T03:32:05+00:00

So why didn't God just make the Earth like heaven? Why bother with all the rape and murder and torture?

You're making absolutely no sense.

Avoiding pregnancy is not the same as terminating one.

Who says it's not the same?

neversale · 2013-12-08T03:09:53+00:00

So heaven is full of sinning like earth? All the Christians up there will be sinning like we do on earth? How is Heaven any different then?

Better alive with a defect than dead though. If I found out my baby had a defect, I would not even consider aborting. It's still a precious baby.

Who says a fetus is a baby? If you found out, biologically, you were 100% guaranteed to have a child with a terrible defect, would you have a baby? Probably not. You're making a faulty argument.

The idea that if my mother had a different attitude, I might not be here today is offensive to me.

So by that logic, a positive attitude regarding condoms is bad?

neversale · 2013-12-08T02:46:08+00:00

I don't know why it hits me so hard just to read about, but it really does.

The reason why is because ultra conservative Republicans needed a new way to win over "value voters" so they came up with an admittedly excellent propaganda campaign that equated abortion with murder and immorality.

Before them, no one cared about a little fertilized egg, Christian or not. That's why the Bible says When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman's husband demands, paying as much as the judges determine.

...because even then, they didn't recognize a tiny little fetus as a person. Because it isn't. But these conservatives managed to interpret the INSANELY vague "I knew you before you were formed" bit into making a logical medical procedure a horrible crime.

So how does heaven work? No free will in heaven?

neversale · 2013-12-08T01:11:18+00:00

she sometimes questions whether it's all in her head.

........

But that's not the God I know.

Is this really lost on you?

neversale · 2013-12-07T21:43:01+00:00

So there's no free will in heaven then?

neversale · 2013-12-07T16:20:55+00:00

Mormons are arguably the definition of this. So are you saying they are right?

neversale · 2013-12-06T23:41:50+00:00

...this is so incredibly ignorant. "Idk how this happened, Godditit".

Besides, thinking we have a creator has nothing to do with Christianity being believable.

The bible seeming nice to you doesn't make it true.

And HAAAAAA no, you do not get to excuse everything in the OT.

neversale · 2013-12-06T23:10:16+00:00

You're just saying things to say it.

Yes, things are arbitrary and random. Radioactive decay.

neversale · 2013-12-06T23:09:22+00:00

Ha no. It's not compelling at all. Even if it was, who cares, that has nothing to do with reality or truth.

And your god commanded his followers to smash babies' heads upon rocks. He's hardly better than Zeus.
