have you tried the book of shut the fuck up, verse you're a goddam distinguished mentally-challenged fellow?  i think it's the second line.

not getting into a serious religious discussion, spent 15 years of my life hearing the weekly spiel, you're free to believe what you want, even if i think it's the equivalent of being a grown man who believes in santa claus and gets very prickly when others think it's silly

Why are you getting angry?  It is just a question.  It is alright if you made it up.  No need to get angry dude.

you got me, the line "if anyone shows up claiming to be god, fucking kill him, i am the only god, assholes" does not appear in the bible exactly as written.

i'm getting angry because you're being pedantic and pretending the point isn't there, and i've dealt with that shit far too often to not have a hair trigger for it.

I wasnt being pedantic, it was a legit question.  The if anyone claims to be god thing started in the Talmud according the the wiki which was made around the same time because of all these people coming and saying they are god.  I dunno if there is an earlier verse that says it though.

What your church teaches kinda isn't relevant and in no way has anything to do with Oscar's point. His point is that Christians accept the OT as true, but the god in the OT is prideful and jealous and says to never worship any other gods. Some guy comes around and says he's the SON of God and Christians accept it despite God saying to do otherwise in the OT.

The fact the entire religion is based around this guy is funny.

I think you should tackle it in another manner. A lot of "believers" are battered wives with Stockholm. They believe in belief. Of course it depends on the person. If someone were more nice about it and picked holes in my logic and history rather than laughing I would have accepted and lived with the being an atheist far sooner than I did. But when there is a big stigma against non belief and you're being laughed at, it doesn't help anyone.

honestly, you probably shouldn't.  the people that believe as you do are all eye-rolling right now at the preposterousness of those who don't, and the people that don't believe as you do are all eye-rolling right now at the preposterousness of those who do.  nobody's gonna be changing their core beliefs here today.

let's just break it off and go play some yahtzee or something.

I'm not saying they would. I'm not talking about believers or disbelievers. I'm talking about people spiritually and theologically confused and are hovering around the line. Discussion that would be helpful to them is brushed under for being as patronizing as possible. I know for me, when I was spiritually confused, I was as agnostic as all possible, but whereas the theists were caring and understanding, the atheists were patronizing as hell to the point where I labeled atheist as bad, even though I already was one and refused to admit it.
Title: Re: what is a bible?

I think my point is that if there is such a thing as a "Team Atheist/Agnostic," then I don't want anyone who ISN'T a bit of an asshole on my team.  I value critical thinking skills and honesty above all else.  Believing in fairy tales and trying to let people down gently are not part of my agenda.

As my mother's getting older she's getting more into this side of things as well. "God will pay them back, just you wait". But she also believes in black magic and curses (some of which are supposedly being put on me) and such, so... Screaming is about the only thing you can do, really.

In Japan, the door-to-door xtians come by from time to time, and when they see a white foreigner, they get all excited, like they hit the jackpot. The assumption is that I'm christian, and will be an easy sell to bring to their church.
