    Did you and your buddy go there with the intention of starting a drunken brawl? Stop treating criminals like children ... they should be responsible for their actions and they should know the consequences of their actions. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I agree with you. I don't understand why people are more concerned about the life of the criminal than the life of the victim? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I can paint a painting or build a building ... it doesn't mean I am a good painter or builder. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    The death penalty is a punishment, not a deterrent. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Your statistics asume each murderer kills only one victim. If only one (black) murderer killed 49% of victims, the vast majority of murderers would be white. Serial killers remain the near exclusive domain of white males under 40. t The statement was that 45% of murders, not 45% of murderers, originate from 13% of the population ...

    There is so much in what you posted that is based on incorrect information derived from uninformed (and way overused) assumptions. What was incorrect? The books of your Bible were not written when Jesus was alive, there are more books written about Jesus than there are books in your Bible, and the message of Jesus was spread by any means necessary. Denying facts based on your faith does nothing to change the facts. If your God commanded you to sacrifice your first born child, would you? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Did Hitler prove his divinity? No, and neither has your God. If we wait a hundred years before allowing people to write books about Hitler, then allow the people that worship Hitler to compile their book from the books that they agree with and destroy the remaining books that they do not agree with, and then allow the people that worship Hitler to spread the message of their book by any means necessary for a thousand years ... they would probably have the same level of proof that you have.

    Your question has been answered many times and in many different ways. I can't make you but...read the thread dude. I have read the thread, dude. It appears as though you accept and worship your God because you believe your God exists and is the true God and commanded you to do so. There are some people who accept and worship Hitler because Hitler existed and commanded them to do so. Would you care to elaborate on why you accept your God, or is the reason that some people accept and worship Hitler good enough for you to accept and worship your God? "That looks dangerous."

    You tell me. No, you tell us. It is your previous statements that it is not possible for us to meet the standards of your God that is the basis for many of my questions I have asked you. Are you now denying those statements? Edit: If so, then many of my questions have become null and void. If not, then my questions remain. Why do you accept a God that created standards and then created you without the possibility to meet the standards? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Have you read the entire thread? I was not making statements about what God did or did not do, I was using the statements that other people made about what their God did or did not do. MY QUESTION HAS BEEN WHY A PERSON WORSHIPS INSTEAD OF DENIES A GOD THAT ACCORDING TO THEM DID SOMETHING THAT IF A PERSON DID THEY WOULD DENY THE PERSON! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Fixed it for you. Your beliefs are not my beliefs. Edit: You do realize that you haven't actually answered a single question that I have asked you. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    If you protest for peace but become violent when confronted with violence, you are protesting in vain. "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." Mahatma Gandhi It is like the people protesting poor economic conditions that begin to loot and vandalize local business causing worse economic conditions ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Been there, done that. The questions I have been asking have not been whether a particular God exists (and could not be found in a book). The questions I have been asking are why a person worships a particular God (but would deny a person that does some of the things they claim their God has done). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    According to you, your God created us unable to live without sinning and then holds us responsible for sinning. Nice God ... Edit: It is no wonder your God would maintain absolute power ... your God would have very few allies and very many enemies. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    And yet people continue to justify their faith with statements devoid of logic and reasoning. I feel like I am in Hell! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Would I be considered extremely caring and merciful if I created a lethal virus and a cure and then infected the entire human population with the lethal virus and only gave the cure to those that do as I say (not as I do)? No, so why do you consider your God to be extremely caring and merciful to have created standards and then to have created humans unable to meet those standards but allow those that worship your God to be forgiven of not meeting those standards ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    The idea that men are smarter than women has been around for a long time, has been the cause of violence, and has made life more interesting ... so should I believe it? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    "Redneck Games" otherwise known as "The Proof of Evolution"! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Since when has the level of interest been reason enough for anything? Life would be less interesting without disease, famine, war, etc... Do you believe that is a good enough reason for them to exist? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    They are not going to thank us because the majority supported Sadam (while Sadam murdered the minority). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Oops, my bad. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    There are so many risks with so few rewards ... Would the TI be able to estimate their glide ratio to determine their spot, flight pattern, etc... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I feel sorry for her and her husband ... they will probably be stoned. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I agree. However, I have a feeling that there faith can have something to do with how much of an asshole they are or aren't. I don't, unless you consider that faith might allow more of a mob effect on good or bad works. But even then, people would rally around politics, projects or whatever. So even that is likely not differentiated from other enablers. Faith (and politics) tends to provide a greater amount of jusitification to many for their thoughts, actions, etc... than other things.
