God created them like that. It's his fault.
Your parents had smex and created you, so that means it's their fault for all the bad you do. I'm not sure what kinds of mischief you enjoy, but I'm sure you pissed em off at one point or another. I know I did with mine on occasion.

You got the meaning, but you're really not understanding it. That's not to say that religion is dumb, for me as a Christian this video is saying "I see what this is saying, we've missed the point of what God was trying to say and accomplish all along, He's disappointed in us and we should be disappointed too, we've been missing this the entire time when we had such great potential."
I can't read the quoted part without it being in the voice of the guy in the video.

Wow, when I saw this topic, I just expected this to happen. I have changed some of my religious/political views over time. I now just look at gays as people who made their own decisions....... Oh wait let me look here...Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version)

 13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

It does seem that God does dislikes the gays. And when God ordered his people to kill those nations, it is because they had broken the law of the land, and the punishment was death. Those lands had Harlots, idols, antisemitism, and many other sins presiding in them. But those where in the old testament, where they we re ALL were guilty of death because of Adam and Eve's sin. The commandment for not murdering means do not murder someone for your own reasons. God now just tells Christians to spread the message without embarrassment and not force it on people. And just because a few people "manipulate" the religion for personal gain does not mean the religion is false. Just because someone is Christan doesn't mean he will always put aside all scientific data. He just questions the ones considering that say God didn't create the universe. These theories haven't even been proven completely just like all other religions beliefs. I do believe organisms can adapt and even slightly evolve, but I do not believe they were "just here" and evolved that much. And I do not think that atheists are murderers or major trolls (Y'all aren't helping that one out). This topic was supposed to be about a video, not a religion war (thank God not too much flaming). I think the video was cool and proved the problems of humanity using religion as a tool. I think God might just be like that. Oh, and thanks tetris for putting the lyrics up.

I've gathered a couple things that atheists misinterpret and that annoy me.

1) Showing excerpts/verses of the Old Testament to say something bad about God.
  • Using verses from the Old Testament (to use against Christians) is like taking parts from a history book.
    As I explained to Inv3rted multiple times, the new testament explains the new way to salvation. The Old Testament is like a story or history book that can teach certain morals through stories of different people (Moses, Abraham, Dacid, Isaac, etc). The laws it directly states have been redefined in a better and relative way in the New Testament
2) Showing excerpts/verses of the New Testament that seem to be violent or supposed to point out something bad about God.
  • This is like people do with "The Game" quotes. If the find "the" and "game" in a post or them relatively close they point it out and do a series of quotes narrowing down to the 2 words. 99.9% of the time the original author does not intend to do that. The point of this being is that you have understand what is going on at the time that verse is said or commanded by God.
If there are more that come to mind, I'll edit the post.

sdfase
There were also people killed in the Bible for using contraceptives or masturbating.

love is only to be used for procreation.
Try to look at things in context dude.

You say to disregard some of the Old Testament, and yet you defend the creation stories.

I don't believe that God would have phyisically at one point held the oceans in his hand and physically created man out of the dirt. He set thigns up to take place the way they have.


The reason I have grown to dislike religion war threads is because its always the same arguments over and over. If you don't stop bugging me after the first 50 times I can be sure you will continue to bug my a 51st... that make sense somewhow but i am sick and tired so i dunno

Not you, I mean The Russian.


Oh ok then. I hate being sick. It really sucks not beign able to go to sleep because the second you lay down you start drowning in your own snot.

And the whole not being able to think thing is annoying too

I never said disregard. I said that the laws directly stated were redefined in the New Testament since Jesus Christ.

You two masturbate with each other VIA livestream?


Quiet you, I'm trying to make fun of people.

There were also people killed in the Bible for using contraceptives or masturbating.
Correction my good sir. There was never an incident where someone was killed for masturbating. There is no real mention of procrastination either but it is one thing that most Christians avoid because it stimulates loveual thoughts/lust which is forbidden.
