“The point is, Republican assume there are two sets of rules. And the Democrats should let them take control, when the GOP is in the minority.. That's the point, Republican.”

“McCain has done the same thing, that Baucus has done, several times over the years.”

“We will overturn the will of hatemongering bigots in the courts. Where have you been? We've been having success with the judiciary.”

“God the mass murderer:
"This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.'" (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB)

Ah, the bible.”

“Take care of your testicles. If they're accidently crushed you can't go to heaven. Very understanding.

"No one whose testicles have been crushed or whose penis has been cut off may be admitted into the community of the Lord." (Deuteronomy 23:2 NAB)”

“You're flailing and failing and are in over your head. Hope you don't have an illigit ancestor. Sorry, Genesis says "clay" read your bible. If the Hebrew text says dust and you want to go with that find, it's equally as ridiculous. Here's another beauty:

"For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh. ”
— Exodus 12:12 (WEB)

What a great God! Killing innocent children. I suppose you're for that, since it's in the bible.”

“Sorry, I forgot the Cain and Able part, where God apparently missed that whole murder thing:

9Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"
"I know not," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10Then He said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground! 11So now you are cursed [with alienation][43] from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood you have shed. 12If you work the land, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
13But Cain answered the Lord, "My punishment[44] is too great to bear! 14Since You are banishing me today from the soil, and I must hide myself from Your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me."
15Then the Lord replied to him, "In that case,[45] whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over."[46] And he placed a mark on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him. 16Then Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Game, set, match”

“Exodus 22:29 Did you sacrifice your first born son?
“You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me."”

“Another from Deuteronomy. Not only is the illigitimate child damned, but all their offspring for 10 generations. Not a very understanding God.

1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord. 2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 23:1”

“Here's some good stuff from my personal favorite, Deuteronomy. Apparently polygomy is A-ok:

"If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: 16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: 17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his."

Deuteronomy 21:15-17”

“You've never actually read the bible have you?

Genesis: "the LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being."

Genesis chapter 17, verse 12:
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcise­d."

"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."
- Cardinal Bellarmine, during the trial of Galileo in 1615.

So you don't believe in Genesis?”

“Marriage is a legal contract not a religious one unless you want it to be.”

“Your logic is wonky. But i'm glad you refer to "believe", I concur. Faith not fact. Which you are free to pursue of course.

I posit there is nothing where you posit there is god. The burden of proof rests with you to prove the existence, not me to prove the void.

Scientific knowledge is never complete unlike the bible. It's the big bang and evolution. Sorry, world is older than a few thousand years. Intelligent design is just a lame attempt to co-opt some credibility from science.

Selectively focusing on particular research WRT the origins of sexuality just indicates you aren't willing to deal with facts. Consensus as of 2009 is that they don't have proof in either direction why certain people are gay and some aren't.”

“Just out of curiosity, how do you think God missed Cain killing Able? With 4 people on the planet and supposedly being all knowing, how did he miss this one? Also, why did God tell Abraham to have a child with his slave? Actually, why did God endorse slavery? Sticking with Abraham, what kind of a benevolent God would ask his loyal subject to kill his beloved son? Isn't that an extreme form of psychological torture? You say choose to obey God. If you heard a voice that told you to kill your child to prove you loved God, would you do it? Do you love the ever elusive "God" more than you love your children?

Why does he/she require such constant acknowledgement of he/she's supposed power? It seems like God is very insecure and runs a crazy dictatorship. Please keep your God away from the rest of us. He/She is apparently an a$$.”

“All orgaisms not infected by "zombie" parasites have free will. Humans are only different form other animals in that we are a specific species, NOTHING else. We are animals just like roaches and rats. If you think we're so superior to other lifeforms, you would ignore your irrational impulse for xenophobia.”

“Then why do you want to infringe on another human being right to excercise free will? Stay out of the lives of others, you have your own issues that need to be dealt with.”

“Marriage has been defined differently by different societies and cultures. Where does your "marriage for procreation" come from? The bible? The bible has polygamy and slavery in it? Are you promoting polygamy? Jesus loved all men. Unfortunately Judas caught him loving another apostle more roughly than he usually loved Judas, and the scorned Judas turned him into the authorities. Love triangles can be so messy.”

“Um, calirighty, you're not helping the cause of Christianity by calling people stupid. As a Christian I prefer that we try to be "known by our love" rather than by our venom and snark.”

“Mathew, Mark, Luke and John lived hundreds of years after the supposed death of the mythical Jesus. Science and archeology make the bible look like the collection of fairy tails that it is. Man molded out of clay? The sun revolving around the earth? The bible's fallibility is well documented.

Just out of curiosity, how do you think God missed Cain doing in Able? With 4 people on the planet and supposedly being all knowing, how did he miss this one? Also, why did God tell Abraham to have a child with his slave? Actually, why did God endorse slavery? Sticking with Abraham, what kind of a benevolent God would ask his loyal subject to kill his beloved son? Isn't that an extreme form of psychological torture? If you heard a voice that told you to end your childs life to prove you loved God, would you do it? Do you love the ever elusive "God" more than you love your children?

Why does he/she require such constant acknowledgement of he/she's supposed power? It seems like God is very insecure and runs a dictatorship. Please keep your God away from the rest of us. He/She is apparently an a$$.”

“Who are you to determine that homosexuality is wrong? There's no law against being homosexual. There's no crime committed when two men or two women choose to become a couple. Are you now talking about making homosexuality illegal? You don't have the right to determine what type of sex people have or who they have it with. Get off your pedestal! Your comparisons are ridiculous. These are human being with rights. What you believe is right or wrong is irrelevant. Your bible is irrelavent. I think it's a joke, but as long as your beliefs don't infringe on others' rights, I have no desire to outlaw the ludicrous teachings of your religion. Delude yourself all you want, just stay out of others' lives.

Gays aren't asking to infringe on your rights. You're not required to have gay sex. EQUAL RIGHTS! Who are you to deprive people of that?!”

“The Bible was written by men, not God. The Bible consists of a collection of ancient scrolls that told the spiritual story of the ancient Jews and early Christians. God did NOT dictate to any of the writters (who copied the scrolls many many times before finally being written down in the form we have now) or orators who told the stories in those scrolls. There is NO distinction given in either Leviticus or Deuteronomy between the commandemts. The "moral" laws are EQUAL to the other categories Christians made up to distance themselves from the Jews. The Jews did not make such a distinction. I know very well what is written in the Bible, I study it. God had NO part in the process that lead to the formation of the Bible. You should read up on Christian history, you might stop making such a fool of yourself when you go up against people who know about they're talking better than you.”

“You're right, there is no such thing as "gay" civil rights, they are ALL just civil rights. Being a woman is not a race either, but they are covered under civil rights as well. You make no damn sense.”

“Great, I'm glad you are finally willing to grant Liberal Angel his civil rights. The right to marriage and the pursuit of happiness. Just because you have decided to ignore your homosexual longings, doesn't mean others shouldn't be allowed to love and marry who they want.”

“The Bible's authority extends to ONLY those of us who call Christ master. The Bible is in no way an authority on what God wants, we must commune with Him directly for that. God is NOT the god of Christianity, or the god of the Jews or anyone else's god. God is that which we "live and move and have our being", as such, God is NOT a thing to be possessed. Infinity can neither be boxed into our man made religions, nor expressed in any book...no matter how revered it may be in any particular tradition.”

“Calrighty the bible is a joke and a tired one at that. Please actually read the whole bible cover to cover, not selectively pick out little pieces here and there. It's laughable.

You have made it clear in other posts that you have made a conscious choice to be heterosexual. Now I'm sure that you struggle daily with the temptations of the gay life style, so I think you better avoid contact with Liberal Angel. He can make your most deeply burried fantasies come true.”
