*insert wikipedia quotations*
Aside from that, though, let me ask you, what happened a second before the billionth of a billionth of a second after the Big Bang? Did all the matter concentrated at that one point exist....



That's a good question. I wonder about that, too. I hope I might have the answer in my lifetime. I don't see how me not knowing the answer to this question is supposed to make me believe in God though.

Whether or not it matches is irrelevant, all you're doing is trolling (I never thought I'd have to actually tell Crimson this on her own forum) for responses....


I wouldn't call it trolling for responses. It is always fascinating to me to watch how people respond to things, whether it's seeing someone who doesn't believe in what they believe, or whether I make a certain move in a poker game. Religion aside, I have been very interested in quantum theory lately and it's interesting to see the behaviors and thoughts that become so natural and conditioned to us. There's a saying in the Catholic Church: "Give me a child before the age of 5 and I'll make it a Catholic for life." It's fascinating how I was never really exposed to God in a church, but merely as motherly mentions of heaven and such. It gives me a very different view of religions and beliefs in higher beings than someone who was taken to church on Sunday for their entire lives.

I haven't had much time to read this, so I've only gotten through 4 or 5 chapters, but something is becoming increasingly obvious the more I read: this guy is the Michael Moore of atheism....


Yeah, and of course I see right through his manipulations. In fact I would have written this information quite differently because of what I saw as blatant word twisting and assumptions. I guess I thought everyone else would see through that and still think about the content. The passages from the Bible aren't faked. You could look them up yourself and read the surrounding context. I'm not sure what context surrounding this passage would make it any better though:

"Exodus Chapter 21, verse 20"

If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.


"actual text"

21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

Reference: http://www.cforc.com/kjv/Exodus/21.html

If the bible is in fact the word of your God then is this not him directly condoning beating your servant/maid?

And what about this blatant sexism? What other interpretation?
"Timothy chapter 2"


2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.



It took centuries of change to allow women an equal voice. Now we have woman CEOs, and we've have female teachers for quite a while. Aren't we all disobeying God then?


I'm the bawss.
