Matthew Le God

At no point have you answered the questions I asked about slavery today.

They don't all believe the same things about him. Every single one has their own view of him that are contractitoy with others. There are huge schism within Christianity. An all knowing all powerful God is inept if he can't get a standardised message out to all humankind. It is a massive fail on his part if he thinks an using a book that based on copies of copies is translated numerous times is the best way to get a standardised message out into the world.

You clearly did not read/understand the post. He clearly states people who don't believe in the religion behind it... "don't believe in the religion behind it. You know, people like you. The difference is that they just tuck into the turkey, chocolate and gifts"

Again you ignored question 2) about slavery. The whole of this post is just bizzare. What do you think it is a rebuttal to?

That isn't religion then. So completely irrelevant to the point I made.

How is it relevant what the government of the country I live in say? Do you deny that Spring festivals pre date Easter and included giving of eggs and celebrating new life? Jesus was also not the first resurrection story, again the details pinched from older fictional stories and absorbed into Christianity to help expand its base of followers. You ignored point 2) about God endorsing and enabling slavery rather than taking an opportunity to condone it. Why no anti slavery message in the commandments? Some of the ones used are very trival in comparison to owning another human. Ignoring questions seems very much to be your thing!

He sacrified himself to himself to act as a loophole to a set of rules he created in the first place. Pretty inept!

1) My place of work shuts down over Easter. The festival Christians pinched from older cultures. 2) Lets take your point on slavery. Do you dispute the Bible gives instructions on who you can use as a slave, how you can punish them, how you should treat them and how long you can own them for? The god of the Bible endorses it all. It is clearly evident in the scripture with the instructions. He does not condone it, he is an enabler! Thus evil!

At no point did I say he had to. As I know the god as described in the Bible does not exist (due to the self contradictory description of him) it would be illogical to think something you know doesn't exist has to do something. You then go on to make lots of unfounded claims. Any evidence for any of that?

Lots of people bump it. Whelk was the one who bumped it this time, not me! I haven't been owned once in the thread. I've unpicked all of your claims over for example 'celebrating Christmas' etc numerous times. You continue to fail to grasp it and repeat the same accusations.

Maybe Turkish and others should play the post and not the poster then. I guess they decide not to because they struggle with a rebuttal, so focus on it being me who posted it.

From that list... only d) applies to me. 🙂

a) Wind up merchant b) Idiot c) A little from column a) and a little from column b) Which are you? I'm leaning towards it being c) 😉😇

It has a huge negative impact on our society and throughout history around the world. It isn't something to be tolerated, it is harmful.

Nope... they are not there. Just a story of a horrific deity who is inept, evil and thankfully does not manifest in reality.

I very much doubt it. A lot of games will have prize money riding on them.

If he wants to be considered an all knowing, kind and loving God he has a lot to explain! Because his actions in the old book are anything but kind and loving. He is the cause of some horrendous behaviour in that old book. Inciting rape, committing genocides, endorsing slavery, sexism and homophobia. To ignore these is impossible without making bizarre excuses for such behaviour, none of which is kind and loving!

So... Jesus died in a blood sacrifice to act as a loophole for a set rules his dad created! That is pretty inept for an all knowing deity. Plus, why did his dad requires blood sacrifice?

Seal

No

He couldn't. If Ings leaves his replacement needs to be a goalscorer. Redmond is fine as a backup for a striker or in combination with a regular goalscorer. But in no way would it be a good idea to view Redmond as an Ings replacement.

Newcastle won't be catching us

Not in this game they weren't... 😉

Written off Sheffield United then? 😁

I doubt they'd care. The motivation would come from the medal they get on the day.
