Interesting comments on a book written entirely by Jews, except possibly the Gospel of Luke.
I say the Freedom from Religion Foundation is an antisemitic hate group.
It’s not that Atheists don’t believe in God, no, it’s that they hate God.
They just don’t know what it’s like to have a Father who loves you and hates things that are bad for you. They don’t understand tough love or discipline to bring about knowledge of righteousness, and justice.
Actually, they DO know what they do. That’s the difference between ignorance and evil.
Without an appeal to God, tell me why hatred is bad.
I have yet to see an answer to this challenge that is not a circular argument.
Though the atheists are stupid, Governor Bevin is ignorant.
He said: When you go back a couple of hundred years, in most instances the only textbooks that were in our public schools were the Bible.”
Utter nonsense. 1. MOST schools 200 years ago were NOT public schools, they were private. 2. Our founders and their children read and learned history and philosophy from the classics of western literature at the time. They were hugely more educated about the world than many politicians today.
I know and understand the point about morals Governor Bevin is trying to make; I get the point and agree with the point. But his method, showing his ignorance, makes him looks foolish and feeds the Progressive and Atheists agenda of painting his basic view as founded on foolishness.
Having a problem with Books are we
Especially “Nights in white satin”.
Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
Satin is really nice but you wouldn’t want it IN your heart, so he was technically correct.
LOL!!! Can you say "crispy critter?" I knew you could!
I’ll take the Livng God’s hatred any day over the worthless “love” of his enemies (which is nothing but a fickle emotion, contingent upon performance).
There are six things that the LORD hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6
And so it starts; actuallt started eons ago. Today, statues, tomorrow, all symbols of Christianity.
Chrstians are convinced that the Hebrew Bible (the TaNa"KH) is a (G-d forbid!) "chrstian" book. The anti-chrstians believe the exact same thing! One supports the Book of Joshua as a chrstian text; the other hates it for the same reason.
Does it never occur to anyone on either side of this civil war that the Hebrew Bible is not, never has been, and never will be a chrstian text at all???
When chrstians and their opposites confine their argument to the "new testament" alone, we will be that much closer to sanity.
As a minor "PS," I note that these chrstian haters once again grant exemption to Black and Hispanic chrstians. Oh, and the original KKK was not an explicitly chrstian organization. It had Jewish members, including Dr. Simon Baruch, Jefferson Davis' personal physician and father of Bernard Baruch.
Also the German motto Gott mit uns (which is from the "chrstian" book of Isaiah) was on those belts before Hitler ever came along. He just didn't go to the trouble of removing it.
Ah yes as Obi-wan said from a certain point of view. :)
How is God worse than “white supremacist thugs” if He, in the atheists’ demented minds,” doesn’t exist?
Ask, how can they hate something which does not exist? They say God does not exist. Is that rational?
How could one not believe in Santa Claus and hate him simultaneously?
Vocal atheists are better described as auto-theists - those believing themselves God.
A great number of our leaders fall into this category.
