Thank you and good day.

• You DO agree that women should not be allowed to hold the job of teacher, at least not to teach men. This pretty much screws over every single female college instructor, female university professor, and any other woman who does adult education of any kind.
• You believe that if a girl experiences STATUTORY rape (ie: she is 12 and is raped by an adult) that she should be sold to that man and forced to marry her. So you're world is the pedophiles' utopia. All they have to do to get their own lolita-sex-slave is rape an underage girl -- after that, he owns her. Nice...
• You believe that if a son squanders his family's wealth on drugs and girls, that it's okay to have him killed by the state (the bible is specific about stoning -- a punishment that is supposed to lead to death ... slow, painful death). So death is the reasonable punishment for a child that doesn't love his family, community, and self?
• You would actually burn your daughter for idolatry. I seriously hope that you have a daughter someday, so that when she turns her back on the church and becomes a buddhist (with those lovely gold statues) you can kill her and get the chair.

• Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. So all that stuff you say God gave you? Sorry, you don't get to keep it. You have to give it up, and soon.
• Luke 18:29-30 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. So yes, JESUS WANTS YOU TO ABANDON YOUR FAMILY! Children too.
• Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. How is that for honouring thy father and mother? The bible isn't even consistent with itself. YOU aren't even close.
• Mark 7:9-12. You just have to read that one for yourself, and then really think about whether you want to execute children for not being sufficiently obedient. Ask yourself whether YOU were obedient as a child, and whether you would even be alive today if your parents had been obeying the bible.

And still, no one has ever grown back an amputated arm. Ever. Not at a revivalist meeting, not at the vatican, not at your church, and not at mine. Not EVER. IT NEVER HAPPENS. EVER.

Just think about that one some more -- where are the miracle cures for amputees? Forget other disorders -- why doesn't God heal amputees? Just answer the question. Why hasn't God cured so much as a single amputee EVER? Why can't I find at least ONE person who had their severed limbs grow back because of faith? Is there really not even a single person on EARTH with enough faith? I suppose I should be happy -- it means Christianity really is dead, and there isn't enough faith left in the world to move a molehill.

A couple of quotes which reflect two individuals stance on religion in schools. Will it result in Genocide in both cases? Should we have taken action against either nation when we new such ideals were being proposed by it's leaders?

My thoughts on Moses... a failing political leader who needed a strong moral line to maintain his position/dictatorship.

Imagine you are the leader of a people who are enduring various hardships with you main political power edge being the promise leading the people into the choosen land, to then be blessed with riches... after a couple years.. the line loses it touch... people start doubting your leadership and your main drive, the God figure. What would you do? Something drastic... something very, very drastic. Now you know you still have quite a strong power base, if you can do something to strengthen/manipulate this power base and their beliefs you might be able to use them as a stronger more influential power base. The best way we know to convince people of your position and throw ignorance to your insuitability as a leader is to appeal to their morals. You needed a plan... very unprobable but it could be pulled off... Invent some rules with .... from God's words!!!! which will appeal to there moral convictions but also stop uprisings against your powerbase....

The plan had an initial failing. For when Moses went off to enact his plot those factions against his rule took this opportunity to foster their own beliefs and forge their political careers. When Moses came back to break out his 10 rules ploy and found others stiring up their beliefs... he was pissed... really pissed. This could be it for him... though the 10 rules idea really seemed to stick with his followers... there was a chance to do it all again... with a little bit more political nouse he pulled it off by embedding a political stance inside 8-9 strong moral stances. If you were to changlenge his story of "Receiving these 10 rules from God" this could also be turned around to say you didn't follow the moral stances of the other rules and could be accused of adultrey, murder etc.

Who would have thought a religion could have been based on a failing politicians outrageous ploy 2000 years into the future??

Modern day "10 rules ploy" believers will even call me immoral for taking this stance...

Well, in that case, I'd better come with my own ploy. I was spoken to by God and he said that the coming of Christ was to happen in the new America.... shit, John Morman already used that one...

I know, how about this one...

Let me create a form of pshyciatric treatment to be based certain feelings in events that have happened in your life... I'll call it dianetics!!! Shit.... already been done too.... and I can't really be bothered fabricating an illustrious naval career. Damn you R. L. Hubbard!. A good example though of how stupid people are and how they will believe in absolutely anything...

I know, I'll call myself the son of God... all fall before me and I shall deliver you from an evil, dirty, nasty place which doesn't actual exist... and send me your donation so I can be holy by owning lots of property, influencing political leadings... and employing those disadvantaged in life on the minimum wage. I shall call this new religion Stupidity. It shall be backed by "The book of fables" believe in it or you shall be accused of eating babies... Let Stupidity be spread through out the world and hope that one day all people will be united by Stupidity. Teach your children to believe in Stupidity!!! Lets have Stupidity in our schools, pray for Stupidity!! Stupidity can heal you.

Please don't mod me funny... religion for me these days is no joke.

In the meantime, here's The God FAQ

See The official God FAQ

There is a very good resource that covers alot of the topics being covered here. Here is a link to the God FAQ.

That's why I like this FAQ. It's simple, to the point, leaves no room for ambiguity and answers a really frequently asked question.
