The rest is a bit of selfish. Viz does not see himself as being taken advantage of. He sees it as his calling and forgets his children are below the poverty level which makes them vulnerable. His children, living in poverty, pay the price of his choices. These little girls must submit to his authority. God tells him so.

I actually keep his children in my heart and thoughts. I hope they survive his choices.
So do I.

I've seen the horrible effects of kids having to live in poverty because of their parents' religious beliefs. The children pay the price for the parents' extremism.

Plain ol' poverty is bad enough....CHOOSING IT when innocent kids are involved....SMH.

Reading is fundamental.

Why would I want to trust in ancient god myths? Is there anything that someone can say that would convince you to believe in Zeus?

Go for it. Live how you choose, but keep your myths out of my life.


Care to answer my questions from 2 pages ago?

That would be like taking comparing a writer from the Roman era to a New York Times best selling author and expecting their writing style to match and align.

And still not answering my questions.

Care to give it a shot?


1.Who did Adam and Eves children have children with? Their brothers and sisters or with mom and dad. They were the only ones around according to your book.

2.Are you claiming that newborn infants DESERVED to be executed? Toddlers?
EVERYONE was killed in the flood according to your book that includes babies, toddlers and grandmothers.

3.Is your book lying, or did those babies deserve to be executed?

I've never told you had to live according to my religion.

Obviously their brothers and sisters.

Yes. Everyone deserved to be executed. Even children. They were stained from birth with the sin of Adam.

Keep in mind that God is sovereign and he can do what he wants with his creation. It's sinful and evil when human beings murder, but God can do what he wants.

Even more nutty.....is people that can't even say objectively that ANYTHING is wrong..because all they've got is their own opinions.

Yay for the atheist worldview.
