I was distracted when i made that comment because I was building a gingerbread house, haha. I just slipped a quick comment without putting any thought into it. Probably not a good idea.

You can do a quick google search and find many instances of atheists using that "four corners" verse to disprove the bible. It's pretty funny.

They're so smug about it too. They will always say that if the bible is true, then the earth must be flat. It makes as much sense as interpreting every random metaphor seriously, such as "I've got butterflies in my stomach". It really doesn't mean anything.

It's similar to thinking that the 6 days of genesis were 24 hour days.

And those Christians who hate gay people?

For goodness sake, the verse in Deuteronomy that says a man cannot lie with another man IN THE SAME VERSE says that you shall be stoned to death if you shave your beard off.

They just pick and choose which parts appeal to them.

How have you been here four years less than me and have nearly as many comments? And are all of your previous ones this piss-poor? Pure curiosity.

You can decide for yourself if you like, I don't want to say whether I suck or not:

Basically, why can't theists and atheists alike just admit that they don't know the answer to whether or not God exists?
None are that bad.
