I beg to differ in one small respect - they aren't in for a big disappointment.

When they die, that will be the end. They will never realize that there is nothing more than this life.

In other words, they will die as they lived - smug, ignorant, and arrogant.

We won't have the satisfaction of knowing that they'll realize how wrong they have been.

Of course, they won't be around to annoy us anymore.

Guess you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

This is your hope. This is your faith. You believe. You are a very faithful believer.

Utter twaddle.

Can't you do better than this?

Ignorance is ugly.

You are wrong. There's no evidence for an afterlife, heaven, any gods, fairies, zombies, Santa, leprechauns, ogres, vampires, etc. Not believing in those is not a faith. It's common sense. It's reality. It's healthy. You might want to try it sometime.

As far as I know, distillation of alcohol wasn't practiced in that time and place, so the flambé process was a little tough on the soon-to-be-corpse. I prefer my dessert to involve a little less screaming.

Besides, would you trust the recipes from a culture that didn't appreciate bacon?

Yes: I had the chance to go to a small number of food serving establishments in the Middle East, in both Arab countries and in Israel, and in each case found many wonderful foods to eat. It is possible to cook good food without bacon ... but why bother? A bacon shwarma would be awesome!

I think age difference should be taken into account. A 17-year-old shouldn't be punished as a rapist for having sex with a willing 14-year old. I'm not sure what's the current status of the law, though. Do they take age difference into account?

Back on topic; this thread is both funny and sad. The warped justifications for the mass murder and rape in the Old Testament are hysterical. Even more so the assertion that sex between a slave and an owner was "probably consensual". Are you for real??

Given that very few marriages in that age were consensual, it appears that most were arranged, do you contend that all intercourse within marriage was by default rape?

Luke 12:5-7 (New King James Version)

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?[a] And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

I do have to question why you bother posting on a site devoted to critical thinking, and then refuse to listen when the products of critical thinking are presented. What do you hope to achieve?

So we can ditch that whole Ten Commandments stuff now? Because the Christian church sure has! They have hated their fellow man and raped and killed and plundered and coveted and stolen just as much as the next despotic regime you care to name. Still doing it today, as a matter of fact.

And they don't like squealers.


So watch your back, man. Doubly so if you happen to be a choirboy.

It does not require faith to doubt that for which there is no evidence. If there is a continuation of consciousness after the death of the body, then I will learn this after my body dies. But I doubt that this will be the case.

Yes, faith is belief without any reason for belief. It is an expression of desire or indoctrination. But faith in Christianity is no different than faith in Islam, Hinduism or Scientology.

Omniscience
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good. (NASB ©1995)
Omnipotence
Jeremiah 32:27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever."

Revelation 19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God;

Revelation 19:6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns
