On the tears, I wonder if he's been taking lessons from the King of Sob, John Boehner? Maybe he'll paint himself orange too.

I think you are on the wrong track here. Hate merely brings the hater down to the level of those he or she claims to hate. And to be clear, violence against the religious is to be condemned. I hear your frustration, but we are going to accomplish far more through education than hate and violence.

The whole "militant atheist" thing really is quite amazing, especially when the Christian extremists are the ones who seem determined to take over the U.S. military from within.

Let's agree that Hitler may or may not have been an atheist. There is ample evidence that he was a Christian, but I'm willing to concede on this so we can put this to rest. Let's assume that Hitler was an atheist. We have one point of agreement.

Now, would you agree that commanding genocide, as Hitler did, is immoral? Can this be a second point of agreement?

If so, then I am curious whether you are you willing to condemn the god of the Old Testament for commanding genocide? We can then agree that the god depicted in the Christian bible is every bit as immoral as Hitler, right?

I think what you are forgetting is that the Christian bible is magic and only reveals it's true meaning to deluded Christians. Even when you find a passage with an extremely clear apparent meaning, you must have a deluded Christian tell you what it really means.

People are certainly responding, but I'm not sure most of it has much to do with anything I did.

For someone who has never met me, you seem to infer a great deal about my intent here. What I am doing in this post is asking a question about something that seems to come up quite a bit. If you read what I wrote, you'll see that the question boils down to how those who claim their bible to be inerrant can not follow it. I am not claiming here or elsewhere that all Christians would make such a claim about their bibles.

If you are not willing to comply with the comment policy, you will be placed in moderation. I am happy to approve compliant comments, but your trolling is getting old quickly.

I've never understood how someone has a relationship with someone who either never existed or died over 2000 years ago. Of course, one does not have any such relationship. Instead, one has a relationship with oneself. Like you suggested, when this relationship reaches the level of delusion, we call it Christianity.

In response to that "that's dumb" comment, I hope you turned green and burst out of your clothes.
