I never met any people like this neither!
It's the first time I met people saying Earth is 7k years old, global warming is an invention and that the Earth is flat...

AND: They're all Americans ^^

Coincidence? I think not... 

Haha. Why go elsewhere. You dont really have to go that far about shit and any other crazy shit out there. People talk shit about people. People talk shit about somebody else. Eveyone there is, everyone..

It's just a matter of seeing them in a different perspective. All stories i have to say have some context in them and that's what truly matters.

To be honest in my life I've never heard about such people in my surroundings who thought it's OK to smash a baby's head with a rock for religious reasons. I've also never heard about people doing or promoting such ideas and getting away with that without some lengthy jail terms or forced mental treatment. But perhaps the christians I know aren't faithful good head smashing christians . I must admit they also believe in the geocentric astronomical model and a spherical Earth what is more than 4 billion years old. Heretics for sure .

As I see mate you are trying to generalize from a few lunatics and some out of context 3k years old stuff to more than 1bn present day people .

Oh there is nothing crazy if we all admit that Bible is nothing near absolute and has to be adapted to the age in which we are

But tell that to the people thinking it's OK to smash a baby head with a rock or that the earth is only 7 000 years old

In fact it says it's square . Actually in many languages you can find expressions like "people from all corners of the world", we are actively using such statements, but nobody think that the Earth would be flat. BTW when the Bible was written everybody thought that Earth is flat, the spherical model turned up as a hypothesis from Pythagoras but Aristotle was the first who proved that three hundred years later. Well, and then what? This isn't real crazy shit just common cosmology of the age, and it still common in today's everyday phrasing but with modified meaning.

Hey, wouldn't like to insult anyone but the shitty religious zealots still never answered to the fact that Bible says Earth is flat:
Isaiah 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)

Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

Job 38:13
13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)

Jeremiah 16:19
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV)

Daniel 4:11
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV)

This can be interprated two ways :

-Litteraly :

You have to kill him. However, there's two problems at this : you shall not kill, and you shall forgive.


-Metaphoricaly :

Everyone who works on Sabbath won't go to the Paradise. And thus will die for the eternity. That's how I interpret it after a quick reading.

Also, don't remember that most of the sins can be "washed". If someone prays to the Lord this day, I don't think that working from times to times on Sabbath is that awful.

In the Bible's phrasing "waters" means a lot of things from seas to the sky (space), just like earth what in this context means material what was "formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep". Don't forget that this book was written some 3k years ago (and probably was based on some older scripts) for a bunch of goat herders and farmers with limited knowledge about quantum/astrophysics so the language had to be relative simple, plain hebrew .

You can spin it however you wish, but the truth is true, and you know it is...

You can blame religious extremists all you like, but there would not be religious extremists without religion

Christians are no better... the witch burnings were not long ago... Christians also advocated for slavery, and currently advocate for homophobia, and intolerance of Muslims

I am not here to argue in your petty political battles, but that is a terrorist group, proclaiming they have the true view of Islam, as their guise.

It's very much political and a scare factor, the religious section to attract more followers.

While I understand your point, I fully reject it...

Religion is a disease, it is a mental illness that needs to be cured

Religion makes people do crazy things because they are not thinking clearly...

9/11!

Only a religious person flies a plane into a building, killing hundreds of people, while thinking they are doing God's work!!!

Alright.

I was born into a heavy christian catholic family.
I love my family very much.

But I consider myself agnostic.

There are pluses to both Atheism, and being religious.

A plus to Atheism allows you to not fall prey to wasting your time with rituals, so you can do more things in the day, and focus on the betterment of you and those around you.
A plus to Religion is that it allows people, educated and not, to have a system of beliefs, that allows them a pushing factor through tough life, and allows them to accomplish things.

It is perfectly okay to be religious, or have a system of beliefs that get you through the day.
It's also alright to not believe. To take science, facts and physics into account for the happenings of the day.


HOWEVER.

This thread is the exact reason why people hate atheists, and religious people alike.

We have atheists here, trying to say all religion is bad, and that the bible is a evil book, and flipping the bird to all religious, because they think science is superior, and they think that allows them to be the cocky douchebags that they are.

We also have people here, saying that atheists are completely wrong, that creationism is the wholly true way, that evolution does not exist, that they are far superior, and that allows them to talk here like they know everything, even though we have fucking solid proof of evolution and the Big Bang.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Besides the fact that being in a conversation with any of you lot drops your IQ by 80, and gives me a headache, who gives a flying shit?

Let people live their lives, let people own and be proud of their culture.

Is it okay when people use their culture to hold it over others, and commit crimes against humanities because they believe they are right?
No the fuck it isn't.

If we didn't have this stupid fuck AF_Newbie, , and moloch, spamming the forum with these repetitive anti-christian threads, saying they are superior, it's no better than the people like the Westboro Baptist Church, who take their interpretations, and their beliefs, and hold them over others, like they are gods, no pun intended.

Learn how to co-exist, god damn.

If you believe in unicorns...


and dragons...

(#manBearPig?)

... you might be a Christian

Holy shit... Someone actually read the Bible?

You are spot on...

The Israelites wanted to attack Canaan the first time, but Moses talked them out of it... They came back a few years later and murdered everyone (stealing the land of milk and honey from farmers via genocide)...

First I've heard about the copper mine, but it makes perfect sense with the rest of the story... I actually learned something, thanks

Ah, always happy to see some truth about Christianity emerges from time to time, keep up the good work

This is the start of the promise land campaign of Moses as far as i know.
One has to look at this in military perspective and that if an ethnic group has more members and are capable of revolting the leader which is Moses, they kill them all to save the mission else they will fail.

Part of the story was that, they were about to go to Canaan but they instead go to Mount Sanai and people got angry with Moses due to it. they don't have enough food there were children and they can't plant crops in the desert. a revolt might happen and so they kill. what are they going to do in mount sainai?  they say the place is a copper mine and weapons during that time were made of copper. they want to build more army and turn their people into fighting army.  

The Jews have gotten quite good at "not working" on the Sabbath...

They have created inventions to "outsmart God"... some funny shit right here:

(It kills me when the rabbi walks in front of the camera saying, "Schmuck!")

Most of those idiots never read the Bible that's for sure. Can't blame them though, was never able to read it completely, it's just too much stupidity in one book ^^
