Well as you can see there will always be people who "believe" they can determine what being a good christian means to someone else because someone else told them what a good christian is. That's what starts wars.
To keep sand out of vaginas. It's metaphorically the purpose of the bible and the advice and rules are presented were fitting for that time (not saying good, but in many cases it served its purpose). Heck, the approach is still fitting for most people nowadays. People have a real hard time with the facts if those facts don't align with what they so far thought the be true. Many people simply refuse to reason as is so evident in these forums, so they need to be bullshitted to be decent people instead and given incentives (not going to hell...).
Yes I get, you take from it what you can use without feeling the need to swallow all the bullshit to meet someone else's definition of being a good christian. Something others here could learn from... It's obviously absurd for an atheist to determine what makes a real christian... what are the guidelines to make such a definition... exactly, the bible on which christ had no editorial influence unless you believe the bible.
let us start from the first book. God made Adam and Eve who were suppose to be the first two people. They had two sons at the time named Cain and Abel. Cain murdered his brother. When faced with his deed by god, he was told he would be a furgitive and a vagabond upon the land. Cain reply was "Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me". God then told him this would not be so, for he would mark Cain and who ever hurts him will be punishment 7 times worst.
The circumcision of newborn Jewish boys belongs to the essence of Judaism, it marks the entry into the Jewish community and symbolizes the ties between God and Abraham and between God and the Jews.
hell he was 600 years old when he built the ark
..and if god is all knowing did he not know that people were going to be so crazy and bad that he would have to drown them. Why make them if he knew he was going to kill them. Sounds sick to me
cuz they smarter then every1 else...
Really dude... you talk to me about validity of points? Petroleum-based... With your level of ignorance you're simply not capable of determining the validity of a point as you've shown over and over like a just like a bible thumper.
A-fucking-mazing... again, you are so obviously missing the point that I can either just laugh and ridicule your stupidity or waste my time trying to explain to you what a. I already explained clearly, b. you're just going to argue with more stupidity and act even more like a typical bible thumper. I will go for the latter

Fine, I will point out one more time how stupid you are acting.
THAT, dumbass, is intellectual honesty in practice in a real life example and you still don't get it...
I "disagree" with religion, with most things bible thumpers claim and represent and do, but there, Dan had a valid point, which I was intellectual honest enough to acknowledge. You however are blinded by your personal beliefs and discuss in these forums VERY much like bible thumpers do... pot... cattle...
It's "kettle".Fine, I will point out one more time how stupid you are acting.
