My theory is based on the evidence available to us.

Your theory is based on a tatty old book full of contradictions, bigotry and various other wads of unpleasantness.

Yeah, I'm sticking with the massive lack of evidence pointing to an afterlife to mean that there isn't one.

But then I don't think you understood my post, despite quoting. Not a huge surprise though.

he's not disrespecting your religion, just pointing out flaws in the book that its all based on.



The problem i find with a lot of people is that if you say you do not believe and say why, they take this as an attack on everything they believe and hold dear instead of entering into a rational debate on the subject.

personally i think we live we try and make the most of it and then it ends... If there is an afterlife for us, then why not for dogs, cats, sheep, plants etc etc they are all as alive as we are in one way or another...

The bible is your guide to life and there might be some things on there I don't believe, but I believe in Jesus. I believe there is a heaven and a hell. I believe there is one god.
Thats what I believe! Ya, yo termine.

Yep, yep!

The Bible Is Your guide to life.

PS. I know that pisses you off.

That didn't answer my question, well done. You should totally join your high school debate team. And learn, y'know, how to debate.

Oooh, ooh, oooh, are we doing bible quotes now? Sweet, I love this.

Genesis 4:14 "Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me."

To give it some context, that's Caine being driven out after murdering his brother Abel. Because prefered animal sacrifice more than vegetable sacrifice. HAH! So yeah, Caine is cast out and so he goes "every one that findeth me shall slay me." I thought Adam, Eve & Caine were the only fuckers alive at this point, according to the bible?

Really, I could just point out every third thing written in Genesis. I mean God created plants before the sun, so he created them before they could photosynthesise?

Ooooh, how about Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen." Followed by the next book, Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." LOL?

Get my point? OK, I'll clarify in as clear words as I can. For every wise and sensible word in the bible, another 10 are a list of names that remind of The Silmarillion, but the payoff is alot less exciting, while another 3 are contradictory and another 2 are just vile and hateful.

I mean one of my favourite bible stories is that of Sodom & Gomorrah, which I'm sure I don't need to recite. I guess, totally ignoring the fact that God hates bummers, I can't decide what I love more: that Lot offered his daughters to the crowd to be gangraped, that God turned Lot's wife into a pillar of stone for LOOKING AT HER FUCKING HOME TOWN AND EVERYONE IN IT BURNING DOWN, or well, the piece-de-resistance, Lot's daughters getting their daddy pissed, and then getting impregnanted by him.

Gays are bad kids, but incest, God is down with that shit!

This is why I didn't want to waste my time debating with you. Don't you know there is something called Old Testament and New Testament.

I am aware of the two books. Guess what? Unless you are part of some really odd sect, The Old Testament is still part of the Bible. The Catholics say so, Eastern Orthodox say so, Anglicans say so, Lutherans say so and so do the Calvinists. It was the word of God. Alot of it was superceded by the New Testament, but then alot of it wasn't.

1. God was disappointed with Cain's sacrifice because Cain was a lazy bastard who gave God his old rotten fruit, not the best of what he worked for. Abel, on the other hand, gave his most prized lamb that was in a sense because he WASN'T a lazy bastard. Cain got mad at Abel, when he should've been angry with himself, and killed him. God got pissed because, HELLO, Abel didn't do anything wrong, but Cain was already digging his grave. 2. Ok, the BIBLE was written before that stupid book, J.R.R. Tolkien is and was known for inadvertently plagiarizing the scripture and making his own fiction with it. 3. God was only ok with incest because there were no fucking people on earth except for noah and his family after the flood, 98% or something near that had been obliterated, he wasn't gonna let humanity end like that. Gays kill.... eachother. one word=AIDS two words=really sick.

Yep, Forkboy won at totally being an epic fail.

Like I aid in the Homosexuals vs Laws (Marriage, Acceptance, The Army, Bathrooms ect.) My opinion is this. In the bible it says God loves everyone and all his children. He must love gays. I think being gay is no different that being straight only that you like the same sex, but the feeling of love is the same. Remember different people wrote the bible, So thats why I don't believe the part where it says that being Homosexual is wrong.

Whether or not you think he won the thing, this about what I belief, I really don't care f you don;t believe what I believe. But just don;t disrespect my religion. Thats all.
