The only thing we need to agree on is that fairy tail characters don't exist in reality.

Did you know chaplains are allowed to spew hatred and are exempt from some parts of the DADT rescission. They don't have to tell anyone that it's not appropriate to hate or commit crimes against gays.

Have a link chielgirl, or are we just going your say so?

Hate you find in a book is still hate and that includes the hatred, violence, rape and other disgusting things that can be found in the bible.

The Bible I've read says "love your neighbor as yourself" and "do unto others that which you would have others do unto you".

Seems everything you disagree with is "hate".

Is that because its easier to label what you disagree with as "hate" than to actually try to defend your beliefs with logical arguments based in fact?

So what will an Atheist say?

Since there is no after life, don't worry about getting killed because you won't know you're dead.

There is no logical argument based on fact that the Christian god exists.

We're really getting into an Amish Bus Driver thing here. Like being on the Rules committee of the Anarchist Party

God is only pretend, What some sheep molester wrote 2000 years ago about a god that could not keep himself from being nailed to a tree is not a god worth even reading about. Very poor god. Let me get this strait, sin came into the world because a talking snake convinced a woman made from the rib of a man made of mud, to eat from a tree that gave out knowledge. This snake was really a demon that was very smart but could not see to have the rib woman eat from the tree of life first then from the tree of knowledge and there by negate the punishment of this so called god. Really? stupid god.

You really have never read or studied the Bible, have you?

Please actually study a subject before dismissing it, because you couldn't be more wrong than you are in this post. Be careful, your ignorance is showing.

That sounds like mud to me.

23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Now there is some dispute over the translation of the word tsela, which is, here, translated to 'rib'.

It's a fun story to read. Why anyone would think that it actually happened is beyond me
