The name is Chris. Yes I am an atheist, and a proud one. I currently serve as a cryptologic linguist in with MARSOC (Marine Corps Special Ops Command) I am training for green beret selection. I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. - Richard Dawkins The person who is certain, and who claims divine warrant for his certainty, belongs now to the infancy of our species. - Christopher Hitchens (In God is Not Great)
Why do some of you use the bible as a means of bashing gay marriage, but conveniently ignore other parts of it?
Like how about killing any of the following:
Anyone who doesn't believe a priest : Deuteronomy 17: 12 NLT
Fortunetellers: Leviticus 20: 27 NAB
Sabbath workers: Exodus 31:12-15 NLT
Followers of other religions: Isaiah 14: 21 NAB
and Atheists, like myself: Isaiah 14: 21 NAB
There are many more, but following these divine orders would be a good place to start, but I assume you'd all rather just cherry pick more.
For those of you who would undoubtedly use the BS "Old Testament doesn't count" argument, let's not forget that the entire reason you're a bigot is a good deal because of OT verses... (Lev 18:22 and Lev 20:13)

6 AnswersFootball (American)8 years ago1998 Pathfinder problem.?
Hi to all and thanks.
My 1998 pathfinder has had a progressing problem for a couple of months now, there is a sort of rattling or clanking if you will coming from the back of the car. But it's not just like 2 pieces of metal hitting together making a sound, you can actually feel it. It only happens when the car is cruising downhill and on flat stretches and hits bumps plus sometimes when I don't shift smoothly enough. It feels like the axle is lose almost. Anyone know what it could be? Drive shaft maybe?
1 AnswerNissan8 years agoDoes god know what it's like to feel lust?
If He does, God is a sinful God. If he doesn't, He isn't an all knowing God.
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoQuestion to Christians, paraphrasing George Carlin, what is the point of prayer?
Christians always pray, be it a big problem, small problem, something they want, they pray. Suppose the prayer is answered, they say "Praise Jesus!" and life is good. Then, when a prayer goes unanswered, they say "God's will be done." Well if it's his will and he's going to do what he wants, why bother praying in the first place?
