As suggested by our own Reluctant Atheist, and in honor of the Jewish New Year, this thread is dedicated to the Jewish God. As most of you know, the OT god is very different from the NT god. The OT god likes to smite, destroy cities, and blow stuff up. He’s more like a Terminator than a Creator. He really doesn’t like blasphemers, gays, women, or those nasty false prophets who say they are his son.So sticking strictly with the Old Testament, list your favorite OT stories inconsistencies. There’s a zillion of them, so please stay on topic — this thread is going to be long!

Oops, I was wrong about the F word, it was the origins of using the middle finger I was thinking about. Thanks for clearing up some details there Reluctant.
Jcc
Your attitude is exactly what I am talking about. And I was not meaning to cause you emotional harm, I just wanted to shock you, cuz christians like you are so easy to do that to and it is funny! I was merely pointing out that some of us do not think that cussing is worse than war and hate! Cussing does not hurt people the way war and beating up fags do! So you can go on thinking you are so rightous while you condone violence, war and hate just because you dont cuss. You are so morally superior then I who chooses to use the words that makes life a little less boring. And I am not sexualy oppressed thank you.
I fuck the hell out of my husband regularly and have no problems talking about all kinds of sex. But, I guess that makes me a bad person in your eyes? But, I really dont fucking care what you think or even say about me, so no need to waste your time. lol
say_no_to_christ:
Apparently, your na?vet? is exceeded only by your lack of intuition. How pedestrian for you to think that your common and unimaginative vocabulary could actually ?shock? me. When I was young and callow I thought the use of such hackneyed words gave me an air of ?authority? as well?but in retrospect I now understand that it merely exposed my immature, inarticulate and narrowly self-involved mind set.
Again, perhaps some day, you will finally come to the realization that ?cussing? adds nothing to an enlightened discussion?it doesn?t ?shock? those who can express themselves far more intelligently, it serves only to expose the one doing it as an ineloquent poltroon.
Sorry to rain on what you thought was a ?shocking? parade to insult my sensitivities?it seems you have, not only a lot to learn about Christians and what you regard as our ?moral superiority,? but you obviously have a great deal of growing up to do as well.
No, it only makes you a more pitiable person in my eyes. If you thought making such a disclosure would make me recoil in disgust, guess again; I only feel pity for you. It?s sad that you find it necessary to insult the dignity of your husband by publicly describing what should be your private life with him; it serves only to further expose your petty, puerile and selfish mentality.
Jcc
Geeze, are you uptight! My husband is treated very well and is very happy that he has a woman that is not ashamed of my natural sexual instinct to fuck the hell out of him on a regular basis. Believe me he is not complaining one bit!
And how shallow of you to think I am not an intellegent person cuz I choose to use the f word. It is just a word! A fun word at that! I am more than capable of holding an intellegent conversation with or without cussing.
You really need to get over it, just say fuck it!
lol
Jcc
You really need a reality check! Here is one of my favorite links you can get a reality check about cussing.
http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/topics.do?topic=profanity
And just how did you come to the conclusion that I am selfesh???
say_no_to_christ:
But you have yet to demonstrate it.
By your childish insistence on denigrating the dignity of your marriage by continually revealing personal information about it.
Jcc
Oh give me a break! EVERYBODY fucks! Its not a big secret anymore. Lol at you jcc! It is also a scientific FACT that sex and fucking is a natural instinct! Its how we keep the human population going. DUH! LOL
It appears to me that you are the one who needs to do a little growing up! Sex is a natural part of life and my husband is not ashamed that he fucks too. lol
say_no_to_christ:
Lord, you gave them eyes, yet they choose not to see… It’s evident that you are incapable of understanding what I’ve been trying to say to you. Your blatant immaturity and obsession with sex has rendered your ability to argue in a reasoned and logical manner as (perhaps you’ll understand this term) ?impotent.?
Jcc
I can see that you are sexually oppressed and I pity you! You havent lived and had a good life if you havent had a mind blowing fuck! If you have you would see exactly what I am saying.
SNTC: Perhaps, for those of more delicate sensibilities, you should phrase it in biblical terms?
jcc:
“Your blatant immaturity and obsession with sex has rendered your ability to argue in a reasoned and logical manner as (perhaps you’ll understand this term) ?impotent.?”.
A christian denigrating someone’s
-lack of logic-?
Oh, I forgot…
The bible is just CHOCK full of logical goodness!
God, look upon your sheep… and weep!
Wow. Good thing that new profanity detector works so well!!!

Someone suggested we check out evilbible.com?
Well, here is a refutation to that entire site: http://www.therefinersfire.org/challenging_atheism.htm
Carmen,
Silly me.
I looked at the site you posted, read a few things and decided it was too weak and ill-considered to warrent any more effort on my part.
I especially like the way you use bible quotes to counter (restated) atheist questions. Do you seriously fail to realize that atheists are not going to place any credence in bible quotes?
I conclude that you are only really interested in preaching to the converted.
Then I realized that it was (probably?) your own site.
You certainly have a high opinion of yourself. It seems to me that it is not justified.
Why would anyone not want to believe in God. If nothing more it makes you a better person, you can’t deny that.

Hmm, let’s see : Hitler. Himmler, Goering, Goebels – all believers in not only a god, but the Christian God. Is that enough to deny your ludicrously simplistic assertion?
