Why are you are an atheist

The law was done away with in practice or have you never read, 'having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and ...[text shortened]... will write it. And I will become their God, and they will become my people.” Jeremiah 31:330-33

I tell you what. Go ask a Jew about that.

I dont need to ask a Jew about it, I have the words of Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul and the prophet Jeremiah.

Its a question designed to foment thought and discussion and clearly you are out of your depth, I suggest swimming back to the shallow pool with the kiddies and those that need milk!

As I've said before, maybe you should be "pruned". You're not helping anyone out here with your "fringe" religion. It's certainly shuttered *your* eyes. Don't compound the problem.

Ok, let's see: Jew, converted Roman, Jew.

As I said, ask a Jew about it. You can't have even a working knowledge of what Christianity is about without knowing what came before. You trash it, and them, at your own peril.

and yet I appear to be far more knowledgeable than you in Biblical matters, fully conversant with scripture and its application, have a good grasp of my own faith and a handle on the ideas behind others even though I do not profess them myself while you seem intent simply to blow the same whistle day in and day out, 'you're this and you're that'.

Your text is is nothing but a kind of meaningless caustic diatribe. Lets ask you a simple question, the central tenet of the teaching of Jesus Christ while he taught and preached on the earth was, 'the Kingdom of God', what is it?

yes if it had any bearing on my perception of reality and once again its absurd to think otherwise. your attempt to reduce the idea to absurdity has failed.

So I should take your answer as meaning "not at all," then?

Then can you imagine how not believing in other baseless hypotheses concerning supernatural beings will also have no effect on morality/values/etc.?

How you managed to turn 'yes if it had any bearing on my perception of reality ', into,'not at all', is truly amazing, do you also do card tricks?

... [embedded in quotes from the OT]

Ah, so you're one of those Christians [sic] who pick out the cherries (embedded between occasional quotes from the OT) and leave the yucky bits. Sure, I'm cool with that. I'll take Song of Songs (one of the great erotic love poems of all time), and Ecclesiastes (I love how the Byrds set it to music, "To everything, there is a season!" real toe-tapping stuff). Drop all the yucky stuff, outright cruelty, and patent nonsense though --you know, the witch burning, stoning of adulteresses, killing Job's family to prove a boast to the devil, the leftover bronze-age mythical twaddle about a guy who put all extant species into a boat and repopulated the entire planet after a flood, the unsubstantiated hearsay and rumors of supposed miracles, the sexist-patriarchalism, the scare-stories for frightening children into obedience, ... shucks, that leaves Songs of Songs and Eccles.

And rocks are afairyists ... in case you were wondering.

And Catholics that are missing a wing are only half fairies.

And if you believed in the tooth fairy, you would know that babies don't really matter until they grow teeth, so your afairyism affects your stance on abortion.

Can we please at least agree that having a screw loose does not necessarily imply having a wing off? For Catholics, anyway.

What bearing on your perception of reality does not believing in those rabid dogs ruling the Universe have for you, would you say?

Don't other atheists share that belief?


*ducking and running*

Sigh.
No, and you know that.

difficult to say because it depends on the parameters. I would also like to point out that contrary to your assertion dogs ruling the universe is not my personal perspective but you keep conjuring away if it makes you happy.

You are projecting your ignorance. I accept that 'all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving and setting things straight so that the man of God may be fully competent , completely equipped for every good work' - 2 Timothy 3:16,17

You are still failing to grasp how the Mosaic law relates to Christianity and as a direct consequence seem intent on making some rather absurd assertions on the basis of your ignorance.

I am fairly sure that dogs not ruling the universe is your personal perspective.
