This is a classic discussion had between Christians and
Atheists on the interweb:

Christian: Everyone should wear a tri-cornered hat and gumboots

Atheist: What on earth for?

Christian: It says so in the bible.

Atheist: Bible says a lot of things mac.

Christian: Oh yeah - like what?

Atheist: <your comeback goes here>


What bible quote do you like to use here? :D

[zippy890]

1. Hearing God in a burning bush makes you special

Seven days to create the universe?

If someone hits you on one cheek, you should offer your other cheek.

[Zenlitened]

2. Shellfish. Definitely go with the "no shellfish" thing. - n/t

[Taxloss]

3. Agreed.

[Taxloss]

4. Shun menstrual women. They're unclean.

That's a good 'un from our old friend Leviticus - I'll stop quoting it when they do.

[Book Lover]

5. Leviticus is full of possibilities

My favorite is usually mixing cotton and other weaves - big holy no-no.

[Zenlitened]

6. "Holy no-no" LOL!

I like that! So much less judgemental than "sin." Let's face it, the Wrathful God thing just doesn't do well in focus groups these days! :D

[Fenris]

7. Well, for starters, your cotton-poly blend shirt is an abomination.

(Lev. 19:19)

Also, you know how you like your steak extremely rare? Yeah, God doesn't like that either.

(Lev. 19:26)

Oh, and that shave and haircut you pride yourself on? That's also bad.

(Lev. 19:27)

And that kick-ass Celtic cross tattoo you've been wanting to get? Nothin' doin'.

(Lev. 19:28)

Remember that affair you had with the housewife next door? God says you have to be executed because of that.

(Lev. 20:10)

Ever had sex with your wife during her menstrual cycle? Well, you're gonna be banished for that.

(Lev. 20:18)

Yeah. See? The Bible says a lot of things. And the above is just out of two chapters in one book.

8. Good post!

Thanks. I have no ideas 'cause I haven't read the buy-bull since I was a child.

May I share your idea elsewhere?

9. Cindy, here's a link for your Favorites...

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/

Also includes the Koran and the Book Of Mormon.

The home page is organized by category: cruelty, abuse of women, sex, anti-scientific nonsense, etc. etc.

Very useful for debating Twue Bewievers...especially since the site uses the King James Version.

[Synnical]

14. Thanks for the link

I had it bookmarked years ago. But, now, I just don't give a shit. I'm done debating theists. If they want to believe, that's fine by me - just so long as they don't force their beliefs on me. The Buy-Bull is crap - we all know it. And, IMO, atheists spend way too much time talking about religion.

Church/State Separation is where our focus should be.

10. The Lord spake through Balaam's ass!

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Bush* does not advocate protecting the environment

For future generations, because he envisions a "rapture," so no future generations will be here. Scares me to death. I think he's psychotic. And I heard this from Bobby Kennedy, Jr., who, as you know, is an environmental lawyer. And Bush*'s Secretary of the Interior shares this crazy view. I have no bible quotes, though I used to do pretty well with people who stopped me on the street. But now? I just want to undermine the psychotic-in-chief, who believes God told him to attack Iraq and drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. Sorry, but I just think this man is nuts.:crazy:

[Kolesar]

12. my feelings exactly

:scared:

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Yes, he's just crazy.

He believes that God talks to him. Why can't the rest of the country see this?!:shrug:

[displacedtexan]

13. Gawd didn't send a stone cutter up the mountain for nothing!

Convenient, wasn't it?

And I'm expected to believe this was a coincidence?
