Read the Bible

[Mr Flibble]

A theist telling an atheist to read the Bible is much like a meat eater
telling a vegan to try some steak; both are ignorant self righteous
fucktards who think they are always right.

/Flibble

[Rick C. Hodgin]

The Bible reveals itself to be true without any outside teacher. It
is God's hand penned for man, and as such He is the Schoolmaster.

Go for the PhD, Leigh, that way I can call you, "brother."

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

I can suggest (as atheist) to read the Bible. It does not matter that
Rick puts himself forward as that fucktard. His agenda is unclear. He
may be wants to discredit the whole religion. Jesus is described in
Bible as remarkably nice person who never claimed to be a God. I see
you think that he never existed and you may be correct. However it may
also be that he existed. In either case keep your mind clear of likes
of Rick and read the real thing what they worship. It is one of the
largest religions on our planet and it makes several good points.
Also several bad points. Whatever. In average it is a good book.

When you discard jealous God above armies and genocide and death
penalty for minor offends then you can find something good in it...

Your religion is your problem mate, don't expect others to give a damn
about how those words affect your imaginary friend.

The Sermon on the Mount is good.

1 "Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Matthew 7:1-3

The dictionary says that word is "often offensive".

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retard


“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of
reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the
mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak;
as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band
of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

And there's no point in sulking when our understanding of a
subject proves to be inadequate.

I wonder if you are like Thomas Nagel when he writes:

"I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact
that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people
that I know are religious believers. It isn't just that
I don't believe in God and, naturally hope that I'm right
in my belief. It's that I hope there is no God! I don't
want there to be a God."

I'm quoting there from "Undeniable" by Doug Axe -

Sorry if you don't like the way things are going. Sulking
about it won't help you.

In many ways I don't like the way things are going.
I agree with those who think things are going the wrong
way -- over 70% in the US. But for me things are finally
getting better. So while there's a lot going wrong, at
least my efforts are being rewarded. Perhaps you could
be happy with me about that. You've witnessed my
perseverance here in the face of many lies and smears
over the years.

That's Christian humility, respect and love right there. You are
a commendable example.

Hypocrite.
