To clarify, I'm not askimg believers to consider the possibility that there is no God (I know you're terrified of the punishment you believe you'll receive for even entertaining the idea).
i'm asking what you think would be different about the world if God didn't exist.
Newt amputees that is. Why does an all-powerful, all-loving god give special treatment to newts? He won't do a damn thing to help human amputees, but he has no problem performing miracle after miracle for every Tom, Dick and Harry of the newt variety. And newts don't even pray, let alone cut off part of their penises, kill baby newts, murder female newts for being raped, keep newt slaves, raid neighbouring newt villages, killing all the male newts and raping all the female newt virgins, cook with newt feces, wallow in a perpetual state of grovelling and self-loathing or anything else God likes.
What's going on here?
Why didn't Jesus say or do anything useful while he was here?
Rather than doing some cheap magic tricks, correcting people who thought Old Testament law no longer applied, telling people to murder their children and slaves to obey their masters, why didn't Jesus impart some real wisdom?
you know, like maybe something about slavery being bad, electricity, DNA, microorganisms, antibiotics, the printing press, cars, computers, facebook, pants....
Odd that he didn't seem to know anything other than what the primitive desert-dwelling illiterates of the time knew, isn't it?
I thought at least one Christian would try last time, but it seems you assholes only care about yourselves. With the recent influx of Bible humpers on here, surely one of you is willing to do the right thing and lead me to Christ.
I feel I have no choice but to go to hell, so if you believe in God, pretend you actually give a shit and tell me what I need to do to be saved.
Seriously, I don't think there's any getting around it. I'm going there and there's nothing I can do about it.
Can anybody offer some advice?
Apparently not believing in the god of the Bible is a deal-breaker, so what's my next move?
Well would you? And don't say he wouldn't ask you to, he's done it before.
And before you start with the, "That was the Old Testament" b.s, remember when Jesus showed up, he made it very clear that every bit of the Old Testament would apply forever.
As a side topic, have you killed your neighbours for doing yard work on the sabbath? If not, why are you disobeying your god?
Is anybody else left unimpressed by God constantly healing paper cuts and relieving the elderly of their aches and pains? Come on God, change it up a bit. Regenerate a limb, give a burn victim a break, exorcise Autism, give the parents of a mentally ill child something to believe in. WTF does, "Ask and ye shall receive" mean?
A human being who shows exceptional courage deserves praise.
A human being who risks his or her life to help others deserves praise.
A human being who has forgiven those who have wronged him/her deserves praise.
A human being who overcomes adversity deserves praise.
A human being who goes without to give comfort to those in need deserves praise.
A human being who works hard deserves praise.
A human being who achieves greatness through perseverance deserves praise.
Assuming the god of the Bible exists what makes him deserving of praise?
The city of Gainesville, Florida, plans to send a bill estimated at more than $180,000 to Pastor Terry Jones for security costs surrounding his controversial threat to burn Qurans on the anniversary of the September, 11, 2001, attacks, a police spokeswoman said Friday.

Is MMA just senseless brutality?
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some little children came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
