What kind of sound did he make? What exactly did John Wayne Gacy say about people dying? About the world-wide flood of Noah's day? about God saving all mankind?

Please give us the details.

But if the teacher just made it all up, or taught from a book that is all fiction, how do you know He is murderous even if you went to Sunday "Skool."

Well, then discounting the murdering kids part, there's the passage where your kind, loving, imaginary cloud-ghost describes pushing a sword through a man's belly and then describes how the man loses control of his bowels and defecates.

Yep, that's actually in your "holy" book.

Then, the other passage using swords on pregnant women...

But if these are just fiction stories, how do you know this imaginary cloud-ghost did that? I mean, you did say He is "imaginary" so why are you upset as if He exists? That would be like some goofball going around being mad at a killer in a fictitious killer novel.

Your "holy" books need to be piled up and burned.

But why? That would be like saying Stephen King's novels should be piled up and burned if it is all fictitious.

Why do you want to worship an imaginary cloud-ghost who reportedly advocates killing children?

Do you have an ice-cold artificial heart that you take out at night and put in the refrigerator?
