Matthew Le God

Explain why I'm wrong about that

18 games to go, and only 6 points above 18th. Arsenal are in a relegation battle at the start of January!

God sacrificed himself... to himself to act as a loophole to a set of rules he created and knew would be broken. That sounds like incompetence to me! Why couldn't he just forgive without a blood sacrifice, why is he obsessed with sacrifice?

We'd need some evidence he even existed as a historical figure. No contemporary accounts of him exist!

Yes, why?

Going to my parent's house, eating a turkey roast and giving presents to people is not in any way religious. It is bizarre you think it is If Christians can impose their nonsense on the 25th December when it used to be the date of older traditions that pre-date Christainity... then why can't other people do the same and use the 25th December for non religious things. You logic is fundamentally flawed. It is not celebrating a religious festival if no prayer, ceremony or mention of God and/or Jesus is used. You are ignoring all this!

No they aren't! A few (of many) horrific examples of the nonsense of Jesus... Jesus say beating slaves is ok... (Luke 12:47) Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has “come not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34) Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law. (Mark 7:9) What definitions of those words are you using? Atheism is not the absolute certainty Gods don't exist. I don't claim Gods don't exist... I just don't think any God claim has met its burden of proof. The two are very different things!

He has had a vrius

Yet again you failed to answer the question! How is it celebrated if there is no mention of God or Jesus, no visit to church, no prayer etc etc. That is not celebrating it. I keep asking you this... and you keep ignoring the question!

When I talked about God endorsing slavery I was not talking about that. I was talking about the Bible outlining the rules on who God allows you to own as a slave, what you can do to them, how long you can own them for etc etc. It appears you have been brainwashed to ignore that part of the Bible! For example please explain Exodus 21: 20-21 and why a kind and loving God thinks it is ok to own and beat a slave as long as they don't die within 2 days. This is a nonsense argument that is fundamentally flawed. Low odds of something happening does not mean it can't happen. The odds of winning the lottery are low, it doesn't mean people don't win it. If the distance from the sun, atmosphere etc you talk about was different... how do you know that wouldn't allow for the conditions for a different form of life? The tornado jumbo jet analogy does not work, you appear to have a fundamental misunderstanding of planetary physics and how evolution works. Believing with no good evidence that in a universe of trillions of planets you are part of God special tribe on one tiny planet is just bizarre.

Go on then... explain the purpose of the first page of Matthew!

Yet again... I'll ask... but I have little hope of getting an answer... what do you think I have done that I am opposed to? Because if your answer is celebrate Jesus' birth... you are wrong. I visited family, ate a roast turkey and gave presents. Jesus was not involved in any way.

And that makes genocide 'kind and loving' God acceptable

Christainity use the date 25th December because it was that of a Roman festival and nicked elements of that festival. It is not original for Christmas... Christians punched it. Just like they did with the virgin birth story... That was a late addition to the Bible, just like many other elements to the story. It is a patchwork quilt of a story nicked from other stories. I do things on the 25th because I live in a country where my relatives get time off work all at the same time of year. That does not make me a hypocrite ffs

They all condradict each other. Plus there is a major mistake on page one of Matthew. What is the purpose of the beginning of Matthew? It is to link Jesus and his family history to prophecy. But it makes the mistake of doing it through Joseph... who is not related to Jesus biologically so a glaring error on page 1!

Why did he commit a mass genocide with a flood? Why did he give instructions for who you could own as a slave? Why does he not value men and woman equally? It appears it is you that doesn't understand what the scripture says and are making excuses for the inexcusable!

How many more times do I need to tell you... I did not celebrate Jesus north! I don't think there is enough evidence to support the claim he existed... so I would not celebrate his birth. That then makes it impossible for me to to be a hypocrite about it as you keep claiming!

Christians cherry pick from the scripture ignoring the bits they don't like and make excuses for them when questioned about it. Do you deny God in the Bible endorses slavery, sexism, homophobia and genocide?

It has had and continues to have an extremely negative impact on humanity to be brainwashed and indoctrinated with these bronze age myths. People allow this to influence their actions and that impacts on others

See above

I wasnr celebrating the Cjristian festival as I've told you numerous times. There was no religious element to it what so ever! I can't celebrate the birth of someone I dont think there is enougj evidence to believe existed... let alone was the son of god.

What have I not understood about the gospels? Do you deny God ordered genocides in the Bible? Or that the Bible contains instructions for slavery? Or that it is homophobic? Or that it is sexist? Or that it says God commits mass genocide by drowning people in a flood? How have I misunderstood any of that? The God of the Bible is horrifically evil fictional character. People cherry pick the stories to ignore this parts of the scripture

It matters because brainwashed and indoctrinated people allow thus bronze age nonsense to influence their actions and thus impacts on other people

The Christian scripture is not about peace and goodwill. It contains God instructing his chosen tribe to commit genocide on neighbouring tribes, him commuting his own mass genocides, instructutions for slavery, sexism and homophobia. It is a religion which is the complete opposite of peace and goodwill... unless you conveniently ignore those bits!

1) You don't know what literally means 2) So what us it about then? 3) Yes I have read it 4) Are you denying it includes the bits I mention... if so... why?
