Nov 10, 2009 - @DjGils Where did you get..." the bible exist is reason enough to take it seriously* " I would also assume "our new god" would be able to spell correctly. Chaisma? seiously?youselves? Point being, you dont define something with the same thing your trying to define.. which i guess your claim thats what hes doing with the bible, which isn't correct.

DjGils Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Ha ha! For the record your new god spilled a cup of tea on his keyboard so he has resorted to typing using the Windows XP On-screen keyboard! It's Rubbish lol! Also, I didn't say he said that - it was my conclusion! What's your conclusion?

spidyaj Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - hehe sorry about your keyboard. I believe in absolute truth, and anything true can be tested. Just curious why do you say its rubbish? What do you believe to be true then?

Nov 10, 2009 - You can't even imagin how much I laughed out loud to that. Obviously you weren't listening to him. he said based on the documention, the accuracy, the uniqueness, the FACTS. the Bible should be taken seriously. not only cause it exists. way to be so close minded that you're willing to alter quotation to support your cause. basing your belief on lies? that's not the way I go.

mufafa777 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Your conclusion was based on absloutely no fact. It's like the only thing you heard was, ".....the Bible should be taken seriously." You completely ignored everything that was said before hand. Sorry to say, but no one will take you seriously with such ignorance that you have displayed.

DjGils Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - oooohh!! don't get your knckers in a twist mufafa777. I'm glad I put a smile on your face. Laughing at ignorance, your no better than a play ground bully. I heard what he said and I'm glad you base your opinions on fact - Is it not a fact that the Bible/Qu'ran are man-made and not the word of a creator. Written by men, some of whom condone stoning of women, murder and child genital mutilation to name a few or do you overlook these facets? Stories of weak meglomaniacal God's and followers!

DjGils Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Hey everyone mufafa777's all time 2nd favorite video on Youtube is 2 little boys singing a christian song. He only has 3 favorites. Oh my god a 29yr old male who likes watching that is very sad and lonley or a Peadophille. That's not normal behavior. Does it get you hard mufafa777? Why are religious people so fucking weird!?!?

mufafa777 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - woah thanks for catching that, others use my computer and I'm always signed in so yeah. but i digress those writing the bible do not condone any of those things. The writings of the bible was written with in 5 years of Jesus's crucifixion while the witnesses were still alive, WAY to fast to create myth. however, the koran was written hundreds of years after Muhammads life.

DjGils Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - They DO condone Murder and Stoningt!! What are you talking about??? Are you not aware of what organizaton you've joined! Shame on you! Also the bible was NOT written 5 yrs after your bullshit crucifixion and they were not eye witness accounts!! What planet are u on!? Your now STUPID or simply LYING!! I rekon stupid! Who told you this bullshit? I hope you don't perpetuate these lies!!?! Your fucked in the head my friend!! Peace

mufafa777 Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - Did not Jesus say he who has not sin may cast the first stone? none one threw a stone then Jesus said, "Do they not condemn you? therefore I shall not condemn you?" as in no stoning Lol I've actually done research, I suggest getting your facts straight before making such claims. All your showing is how ignorant you are by saying things like the bible was not written 5 years after the crucifixion and having nothing to back it up, way to have a simple argument that can be destroyed easily.

saifulisfree Says:

Nov 15, 2009 - lmao BIBLE was composed by men who made the selves apostales (PAUL) and jesus did not mention them. It's been cahnged over years. It's been written by men who never knew jesus. But the Muhhammad pbuh left direct instructions on how to compile the surah's according to ALLAH

jaythecommish Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - You will never understand who God is or believe in him until you see your need for a savior. Of course you will not believe this, you will not believe that the Bible is the actual word of God. Jesus will not reveal himself to someone who will not open his heart to him. The real reason you so hate Jesus is you are scared to find out what truth is and its ramifications. God bless you as I hope and pray you open your heart to him, then you will find real Joy.

Nov 18, 2009 - To all of you christers - if a god wanted to communicate a set of rules to it's children, don't you think it would have done so clearly, simply, and in a way that left no room for interpretation? It also would have delivered such written instructions all at once, and not slowly over hundreds of years, in multiple languages that don't translate properly? That you find the buybull an inerrant presentation of a god's rules is laughable. Wake up and use your brain to think about this stuff.

DjGils Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - Your passing judgement on somebody you don't know jaythecommish. Shame on you I never said I hate Jesus. What you going on about!! If you want to worship these meglomaniacal myth characters then that's your choice and If you want to follow bronze age man to armageddon then your an enemy of humanity as far as I'm concerned. For humanity is where my concerna rests, our past and our future but your god lies about our past and our future. Why would I respect a lies, and why do you! Peace

Nov 20, 2009 - I think nothing could be so simple and clear and no more simple than the Word. What languages dont translate properly? I didn't watch this clip and Im no christer whatever they may be.

Nov 22, 2009 - Jacob Bronowski (1973), speaking of Auschwitz, wrote: Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by dogma. It was done by arrogance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave. This is what men do when they aspire to the knowledge of gods.

tony2456 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - @curiosityversusfaith When man makes himself god, that's what happens. History is filled with the examples of men corrupted with power who brought untold tragedies into the world. How much more when they have this corrupted dogma or zeal that drives them mercilessly on? Yet, this does NOT disprove the existence of absolute truth. It just emphasizes that the ideas and stuff that we are dealing with is of the highest power and potency in the universe.

tony2456 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - @curiosityversusfaith Continued from my first post... Who or what you place your faith will make all the difference. And, trust me, you will place your faith in something, even if it is only yourself as you write off the reality of Someone greater than yourself. But please don't make the mistake of rejecting any notion of the Truth when someone else fell for a lie that was cloaked as the truth. Never forget: The truth mixed with a few lies is the most destructive thing in the world.

maddog2283 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - dude chill the fuck out. your convincing everyone that your an idiot with every insult.

DjGils Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - What you talking about maddog2283! When ignorance like this exists it should be dispelled. You people insult humanity with your poor feeble god worship. It's a mask for evil. Tell me why is it that there's a direct correlation between the higher religion exists in a country the more violence, child mortality and generaly what you would call 'sin' occurs? Humans society's that aren't infected by religion are much more developed stable, caring and problem free etc... Religion must die DUDE!

curiosityversusfaith Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - 'absolute truth' It is meaningless to apply the label 'absolute' next to the word truth. What does it add to it? If something is true, then it is what it is; TRUE. Since you are claiming an 'absolute truth' - show us one statement that is 'absolutely true' and a second similar statement (in the same sense and context) that is just 'true'. Then explain to us what the difference in truth is between those 2 statements.

blamtasticful Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - If there is no God, if there is no truth, than there is no right and wrong. If the things you've categorized as evil are in fact evil, then you admit that there is a standard to draw conclusions from that is higher than what we can see or understand.

blamtasticful Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Get thee behind me satan in the name of Jesus. God's rules are impossible to keep, but the brilliance of the true and the living God is that in these rules He made a way to legally save us from ourselves through Jesus Christ.
