On the banana video - I've heard this quote before (from a Christian, too)... "Ray Comfort does more harm to Christianity than Richard Dawkins".  Tongue

I was raised a Christian and I consider myself one at heart(but have been disillusioned with it mainly because I do not agree with much of the core principles of the evangelical movement/religious right) but a Deist/Agnostic in thought in action who has always found a fascination in the occult, paganism and satanism(even though they are not one and the same).

Yeah, what happened to the god of the old testament? The vengeful one that smote people and did such br00tal things? In the new testament he's so soft...

Well, they say having a kid mellows you out Wink

EXACTLY! Clap It's a simple line of logic that so many people oversee!

God initially created Hell for Satan according to Christian theology. My issue is how God can save people from Hell, but chooses not to. This video sums it up well... Denise really needs help:



i love this show, and was thinking about it when i wrote that rant

As far as good stories go, I like the old testament God a lot more than the forgiving God in the new testament Big smile. I wanna hear about more people being consumed by giant tsunamies, great towers being crushed, people turned to stone and other adventures of that sort. Compared to that, Jesus is a rather dull character IMO.


As purely fictional literature, I find the Old Testament to be a very interesting read. I've read the entire Bible in the last year (as an atheist the entire time Wink) and I did enjoy some of the stories.

It's absurd to believe there's a grain of truth in those words, and if they actually are true, then the Judeo-Christian God is an immoral being who abuses his powers. It's really funny how many people consider him to be an "all-loving God" and completely disregard the first half of their own holy book.
