I am not interested in making friends with Christians or any religious people for that matter. I am not interested in reconciliation or building bridges or enlightening the religious, I am only interested in destroying their faith and revealing their dysfunction to others. Who cares if you think I am a dick or not? Your opinion does not matter in the slightest, you are nothing to me. There is only pure honest hatred on my part and when you detest something as I do with total conviction you can change something, for the better. You have the focus. The determination to make the world better.

I will not be told what to post or not to post by the likes of you.

Pointing out scriptural inconsistency is but one weapon, I have others with which to kill religion with. They are all valid.

I want the religious to be angry and adversarial with my statements, I want a conflict to arise that will involve the whole world, I want to see the religious blow people up and kill in the name of God and persecute homosexuals and women etc...I want them to do all these things so that we have every reason and excuse to end them. I want the world to see what the religious really are, the unthinking robots they are...and people like you really should get out of the way for your own sake.

I don't want to reach out to them, they do so much to harm others, they would burn you or torture you if they could, for the good of your immortal soul and for the good of the souls of others. They kill and maim and persecute and misinform every day. There can be no mercy and no peace, until all the Holy books are as ashes...all the Churches Mosques and Temples, burnt out rubble.

If you don't like that, I could not care less.

Incidentally you fail to understand that inconsistencies in the Bible mean one thing...it is fallible...it is thus contributory evidence that the Bible is not and never was the absolute word of God, should he exist or not. As others seem to think it is.

PS I have made you an enemy since you are a clearly a left wing Christian apologist of some type, such people can only be my enemies. I cant stand people like you. Your kind in effect excuse them and imply they have a right to believe what they believe, totally unacceptable.

Don't bother responding to this because I have nothing more to say to you and there is nothing you can say that will move me, I will ignore your comments from now on, on this thread.

I will not debate with those that resort to petty name calling.

I am not interested in your interpretations...or your empty laughable denial. The contradictions remain despite your inability to recognize them.

As for your merciful God, He is recorded as a killer of women and children, a God that approves of incest and pedophilia. A dealer in genocide and mass murder. Whatever you say to try to justify it with only serves to make Christianity look even more disgusting and repellent. I look forward to the days when the Churches are set on fire and the Priests are nailed to Trees, I only hope I live long enough to witness it.

To you a Christian any reasonable statement would probably sound insane.

Why would I care what is legal or not in the ME?

I have no power to influence the laws of ME nations.

It would be insanity to believe that there is an absolute moral code for all intelligent life to adhere by...wherever they exist in the universe.

The closest you will get is the unwritten sense of humanity and codes of conduct common to most human cultures.

I noticed that you still failed to answer my earlier question.

Disappointing but entirely predictable.

''I was disputing your assertion that polygamy has nothing to do with sexuality- because it does, and the assertion that it does not is ridiculous.''

I clarified what I meant by sexuality, what is ridiculous is attributing any connection between Polygamy and LGBT movement.

I am not clarifying your argument btw because I am disputing everything you say in the continuous argument. There is no way I could agree with anything someone like you would state. Polygamy has absolutely nothing to with LGBT the subject of this argument. You should not have even mentioned it.

Unwise and obviously false.

If the nation he lived in permitted it, it would be acceptable for his culture for him to bone a Donkey.

It would not be acceptable for my culture, since as outlined it is animal exploitation and that alone is justification to outlaw it.

No.

All forms of sexuality are evaluated on individual merit.

Hugely culturally influenced.

There is no absolute objective moral code. There is only common behaviors for a particular species.

Humans exhibit a societal order, like many other species.

This way of life involves cooperation and mutuality, caring for each other and sharing resources, in the manner of humans and wolves and other social species.

What is naturally abhorrent to most humans bar psychopathic personalities and the insane, is a result largely of genomic expression.

Your view of morality is subjective to your species and culture in the main.

For the wicked nothing is unacceptable, regardless of culture or species.

For the good what is acceptable is what is honest, fair, just and ethical in the circumstances.

Relative to cultural values and species instinct.

So sorry...there is no absolute moral compass to cling to.

You have to light your own light in the abyssal darkness...

Democracy is only illogical if it is dysfunctional. Socrates may have said that I don't know.

What makes a thing correct is a complex thing. It is mostly what we agree upon as a society is wrong, social codes of conduct, our rules and regulations in law. But it is also about what we might aspire to be.

Since as a civilization we also progress.

We aim to be tolerant we aim to be concerned with our own affairs and have respect for the human dignity of others to live their lives as they see fit without discrimination and prejudice.

Those who offend must and will be punished if they choose to set a belief higher than the rule of law, which in the eyes of the law is unforgivable.

No it doesn't. Clarity of mind noted. But if we all happen to agree with you, or must of us do. Then for practical intents and ultimately legal purposes it is wrong or eventually will be. If democracy is unfettered.

Have a look at these.

2CH 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
