Stephen Hawking said religion was "Fairy Stories for people afraid of the dark".

Yeah we know Rache and spmething another professor so clearly pointed out is that atheism is a fairytale for those afraid of the Light.

Quote of the year by Rache....

"Atheism is a "belief" in the same way that baldness is a hair colour or that not collecting stamps is a hobby."

When I read that to a friend of mine we both burst into laughter!

Go to the top of the class Rache... I hope you don't mind me using that from time to time...It is brilliant!

I'm still laughing today about it! I've told heaps of people about it!

Well done!

Sorry in my previous post above regarding David's holocaust I showed some verses but I left out a key verse...

I showed you all

1Chronicles 20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and CUT THEM WITH SAWS, AND WITH HARROWS OF IRON, AND WITH AXES. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

The GREAT LIE

1Kings 11:5-6 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: AND HIS HEART WAS NOT PERFECT WITH THE LORD HIS GOD, AS WAS THE HEART OF HIS FATHER.

But I failed to show you this verse...

2Samuel 12:31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and PUT THEM UNDER SAWS, AND UNDER HARROWS OF IRON, AND UNDER AXES OF IRON AND MADE THEM PASS THROUGH THE BRICKKILN: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.

Note the words "MADE THEM PASS THROUGH THE BRICKKILN" - How do you make a corpse go through a furnace? Wouldn't you just say "and they burnt their bodies? or they put the corpses through a brickkiln?"

You can however make someone pass through a furnace if they are still alive using some sort of force...What a horrid person this David was...

The wording is very suspicious and further proves why Churches and Christians are very selective when it comes to King David and other filth they call Bible heroes.

This stuff is simply shameful, but according to 1Kings 11:5-6 above you actually believe God thought David's heart was perfect with his?

Sorry but believing God approved of such horrendous crimes as David's holocaust is a complete insult to God and a shameful reflection on you believers and your faith.

Need any more proof that your beliefs are wrong?

Opinionated2,
The Bible suggests that David and Saul were gay but Saul becoame jealous of David's association with Jonathon and later wanted a dowry of 100 foreskins from slain Philistines for David to marry Saul's daughter. US Evangelists use David as an excuse for Trump, being terribly flawed but "doing God's work".

There's some weird stuff in that book and according to surveys, atheists know more about religions than the followers.

Christians especially get the Disneyland version of their religion from Hollywood blockbusters and cute Sunday school stories and most have never read the whole Bible - just selective parts to support their own prejudices.

Rather than wandering about starry-eyed for the first several centuries, early Christian sects behaved more like ISIS - killing non-belivers and burning books.
What is now Syria was once a vast killing field where tens of thousands of "pagans" were crucified and burned alive and their temples were ground into dust or turned into stables or brothels. Much of the marble used in Roman cathedrals came from pagan temples.

Most of the current trouble in the Middle East is due to Israel claiming that "God gave them that land" (according to a book they wrote themselves) and was due to an exodus from Egypt (which historically never happened) and Christians support them because they believe it will herald the Second Coming (and Jesus will kill all the Jews for them). The Jews in turn believe they will rule the whole world from that time and the "human cattle" will become their servants.

It's an apocalyptic death cult if there ever was one and an example of the destructive nature of myth and superstition.

The bald do have a hair colour. You just need to have more than a superficial look.

Equally, the atheist does have a religion. You just need to have more than a superficial look.

Oh please, mhaze, tell us all what this religion is that atheists have, won't you?

It doesn't look like you learnt much from our last encounter.
