I do not expect an answer, but what the hell. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. If His Will, will be done. as you claim, that means that none of us will perish as we will all be saved and know the truth. Right? Regards DL

How many did your god murder? What about his torture of King David's baby? Was that justified? Do you even know the story? Strange how you have a double moral standard that forgives god for doing the same thing that you condemn man for doing. If I had a double moral standard like you or even going the other way, you would think me quite immoral would you not? Regards DL

Your bible calls you a liar. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. Back at you, given that I have read more of the bible than you have. "I know you're running out of arguments. You should study the scripture before you debate it." Care to debate against my view that a god who kills when he can cure is an evil prick of a god? I did not thing so because you are a moral coward with a corrupted moral sense that forgive god for the same infraction that you condemn for humans. Typical hypocrite, you are. Faith is not wanting to know the truth. Regards DL

Let’s chat about the atheist religion. Believers in the mainstream god religions often denigrate and discriminate against atheists, non-believers and rival religions on moral grounds. Godless mean without a moral sense to them. I seek a solution to this p

No. I am showing reality. Since following an ideology is a prerequisite of religion, atheism can be considered a religion, since atheists draws on philosophical ideologies to guide ideas, behaviors, and actions, like that of any religion. That is why atheist churches are called atheist churches. That is not a thinking system or an ideology is it. Atheists Are Sometimes More Religious Than Christians A new study shows how poorly we understand the beliefs of people who identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular. Americans are deeply religious people—and atheists are no exception. Western Europeans are deeply secular people—and Christians are no exception. These twin statements are generalizations, but they capture the essence of a fascinating finding in a new study about Christian identity in Western Europe. By surveying almost 25,000 people in 15 countries in the region, and comparing the results with data previously gathered in the U.S., the Pew Research Center discovered three things. First, researchers confirmed the widely known fact that, overall, Americans are much more religious than Western Europeans. They gauged religious commitment using standard questions, including “Do you believe in God with absolute certainty?” and “Do you pray daily?” Second, the researchers found that American “nones”—those who identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular—are more religious than European nones. The notion that religiously unaffiliated people can be religious at all may seem contradictory, but if you disaffiliate from organized religion it does not necessarily mean you’ve sworn off belief in God, say, or prayer. The third finding reported in the study is by far the most striking. As it turns out, “American ‘nones’ are as religious as—or even more religious than—Christians in several European countries, including France, Germany, and the U.K.” “That was a surprise,” Neha Sahgal, the lead researcher on the study, told me. “That’s the comparison that’s fascinating to me.” She highlighted the fact that whereas only 23 percent of European Christians say they believe in God with absolute certainty, 27 percent of American nones say this. America is a country so suffused with faith that religious attributes abound even among the secular. Consider the rise of “atheist churches,” which cater to Americans who have lost faith in supernatural deities but still crave community, enjoy singing with others, and want to think deeply about morality. It’s religion, minus all the God stuff. This is a phenomenon spreading across the country, from the Seattle Atheist Church to the North Texas Church of Freethought. The Oasis Network, which brings together non-believers to sing and learn every Sunday morning, has affiliates in nine U.S. cities. Last month, almost 1,000 people streamed into a [Atheist] church in San Francisco for an unprecedented event billed as “Beyoncé Mass.” Most were people of color and members of the LGBTQ community. Many were secular. They used Queen Bey’s songs, which are replete with religious symbolism, as the basis for a communal celebration—one that had all the trappings of a religious service. That seemed completely fitting to some, including one reverend who said, “Beyoncé is a better theologian than many of the pastors and priests in our church today.” https://www.theatlantic.com/interna...theists-religious-european-christians/560936/ -
I see an immoral double standard here where you condemn people for the same act that you forgive Yahweh for doing. Jesus said that justice says that it is better to cure than kill, while you are saying it is justice to kill instead of cure. What makes Yahweh's genocide just, given that it is the opposite of what Jesus taught? Regards DL

Why are you comparing the power in a woman to the power in Yahweh? I will answer your cowardly deflection though. Your own bible says that justice is close to an eye for an eye. That is a metaphor that says that the punishment should fit the crime or sin. If a woman kills a rapist, it is overkill and thus unjust according to your own bible. Do you agree with your bible or would you kill a rapist who is raping your own wife? Regards DL
