    Just like bigfoot, Paul Bunyan, Yeti, and the Lochness Monster.

    If, if only god was all-powerful, and cared about us, then, then he'd of course just get rid of the devil(!).....but he's obviously not all-powerful, so I guess I'm just dreaming. Darn! But wait...if Jesus is NOT all-powerful then he can't hear my prayers, and then.....AH, NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY PRAYERS DON'T GET ANSWERED TO A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT LEVEL, because he's not real. I SHOULD have been suspicious when I read in the bible that a donkey was talking to somebody....but sometimes I'm just too dense too use my common sense.

    BOTH Islam and Christianity are insane because BOTH teach that the end is coming. That seems to be lost on the oxymoronic "Christian environmentalists."

    But that would mean that he's NOT a loving god, as that would have DROWNED all the cute baby rabbits, little human babies, innocent little panda babies, and trillions of other creatures.....all because god "made a mistake"? That's more unbelievable than many fairy tales.

    JESUS is no more moral than anti-Semite Mel Gibson, because Jesus is fine and dandy with all the Jews going to HELL, and being kept out of Jesus' racist country-club in the sky.
    I left "Jesus", and so will everybody else, by the end of this century.

    Saint Dawkins said it well when he described the insane god of 2.1 billion people when he said “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

    Could it be that HEARING VOICES IN ONE'S HEAD wasn't well understood back in Biblical times? (i.e. they thought they were hearing from some "god".)

    Read the Bible! It was often the all-loving GOD doing terrible things to innocent people, not just people doing terrible things to other people.

    All 3 Abrahamic faiths are founded by a SLAVE RAPIST.

    Their insane "god" thought that the earth is now 6000 years old, so obviously he's nuts.

    They didn't have war planes back in those days, so had to depend on god to smite the enemy.

    One thing that they had in common with modern people: They were good at telling tall tales.

    JEB BUSH IN 2016! JEB BUSH IN 2016!
    (Actually, I'm a closet Christian, and I'm hoping for the Apocolypse to happen in the next 6 years so, I'm really really praying for yet another Bush to take us to war.)

    But like the Bible says, god can't defeat iron chariots:
    Judges 1:19
    And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

    So if god can't defeat iron chariots, then he sure as shiite can't defeat stealth bombers!

    That is a curious passage, isn't it?

    Did people even have iron in those days? Wouldn't a "chariot of iron" be too heavy for the horses to pull?

    I wonder just what the original word was that was translated as "iron chariots"?

    Tall tales:
    1. Lord Zenu lead a billion year empire.
    2. Mohammad rode on a winged horse with a human head. Dawkins destroying an ignorant Muslim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGgw9YvXK-A
    3. Some magic 2000 year old carpenter zombie from Nazareth helps Tim Tebow win games (but that's not working out so well at all, lately.)

    They still do. Incorporeal claims it all the time. God speaks directly to him.
    You can ask him.

    It depends upon who you ask.:smile:

    For me, God's latest big appearance was this morning, when I opened my eyes to the wondrously imperfect world He had prepared for us : a world that forces us to adapt , and-in so doing- to exercise our incredible brains.:clapping:

    In my belief system, God is as much a part of our lives as we choose Him to be.

    For those who observe the Christian way, Happy Easter; and to our Jewish members, a Happy and blessed Passover.

    For those who observe differently ( or not at all) , have a great Sunday tomorrow !
