Do you fully adhere to it? Do you stone non virgins? Do you treat your slaves how the Bible wants you to? If you have a daughter, will you sell her to me for some goats?


Get out of here with that mess. You are just another in a long line of ignorant religious fanatics. I do not hate your God any more than I hate Zeus or Krishna. I do not believe in your idea of God. What I have disdain for, are the people like you, who want your God to rule over all men, women, and children. I have disdain for the like of you, who think you should get special privilege for believing in an imaginary friend. I have disdain for bigotry and ignorance.


No, I don't hate your God, as he is not real. I do, however, have no respect for those like yourself.
Bravo!

There was a story about the rise in suicide rates on NECN this morning.

Suicide Rates in U.S. on the Rise | NECN

Religion wasn't even mentioned, although the doctor did note that the rate was gone up 200% for girls aged 10-14 (school bullying was speculated as a possible cause) and has actually dropped for black males. Are black males more religious than other segments of the population?

What proof do you have that gittb would not do this?

"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

------------------------Luke 12:20


gittb has TAKEN and REQUIRED many lives. UPON DEMAND...

I think Jeff, and people like Jeff, should take personal responsibility for the increase.

He has failed to bring "religion" to others. Their job is to spread the word. Men with financial and emotional issues who take their own lives have been failed by Jeff and his compatriots.

Young children who are bullied, have been failed by Jeff. Jeff does not stop the bullies with the word of God.
Jeff wastes his time with LGBTQ issues here when he could be saving lives.

Jeff gets a failing grade on suicide.

Yes. It's how religion works. Instil into everyone that they will never be anything other that a miserable worthless sinner whilst at the same time demanding that they be more like 'Jesus'....which of course they can't do...because they are miserable, worthless sinners and thus drive them into an ever decreasing circle of self-hate and self-rejection.... until they arrive at the point where they feel that they can't survive without having a supernatural entity to help them through the miserable, sinful life that they have convinced themselves that they lead.

Why not. According to you he has killed billions and has every right to do so. What makes you think you won't be next?

Your god is capable of anything, and he kills people all the time, right? You are a sinner and you are not immune to god's destructive ways. You can come up with tons of excuses defending god's wrath, but when it comes to senseless deaths/natural disasters, everyone is fair game. Your odds of your demise are the same as nonbelievers. Perfect example, tornadic activity is expected in the Mid West today, do you think your god will only take out evil doers?

Well if your side hadnt worked to gut out every trace of religion from public schools, maybe we wouldn't see this. I'm glad I was part of a generation where people didn't throw a fit because a coach wanted to say a prayer of encouragement for his team.

Would you be happy to see Hinduism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Jainism and Shintoism in public schools alongside Christianity?

...and if the coach was a Muslim or a Hindu?
