True, there are other christian churches that do things differently, but there isn't much point in continuing to say how violent it is and how I can't ignore it.
I'm not ignoring it, I'm looking at it as a parable, a story, NOT a historically accurate series of documents.
if that is so, mister priest in training, why is it written as a historically accurate series of events/letters?

Yeah. Fox as a whole is an entirely different entity from Fox News. I would hardly day AD toes the republican party line, given that it starts off with a major character being arrested for a variety of white collar crimes.

Nah we're just killing time while we wait for a Theist to tell us why we should fear the sky-daddy...
And I don't object to Fox comedies because of fox news, just because I dont find them funny as a rule, or most americn comedy for that matter. Only two american comedies that really make me laugh are 'big bang' and that episode of friends where cox had her head shoved up a turkey's bottom...
So where are all the theists tonight anyway...

I'm not really sure...
Is there much left to debate?
I've made my argument, the rest of the world has made theirs...
Unless someone comes in here and starts arguing in favor of all Atheists burning in hell, the arguments feel rather exhausted.
Do you feel that way as well?

You believe in a god who punishes his creations from the moment they are born, before they have a chance to do anything to earn that punishment?
Your god is a sadistic insecure bully, I wouldn't worship it even if it existed.

There is no evidence of the Hebrew Tribes being slaves in egypt, or even BEING in egypt. There are some traces of hebrew miners being employed on the border of egypt, but not untill well after their arrival in Caanan. The only 'link' betwwen the Hebrews and the Hyksos, is that the egyptians called the hyksos 'shepherd kings' which seems somewhat tenuous, especially bearing the comparative timeline in mind.
The Babylonians deported a large number of Hebrews to their empire as slaves, where according to Hebrew scholars of Biblical Hebrew in modern Israel, the story of exodus was INVENTED during the 70 odd years of captivity. The Religion that WROTE Exodus say it's a feelgood propaganda LIE...

It says day, are you calling the Bible a liar? That old "a day isnt a day, its a variable time period that varies according to how much crap I'm talking trying to refute science..." line cuts no ice with me either, sorry 0/10 for effort.
No, reading it in context suggests Adam named a bunch of animals, then god tells Adam to look them over for one suitable to use as a girlfriend, but Adam didn't fancy any of them, so god made him a girlfriend while he slept...
Read the crap before claiming to know it's 'context'
Well, hunter gatherers were actually larger than their agricultural counterparts, I might add.
That line wins you the Atheist Cadre Lifetime Achievement Award for promotion of Weapons Grade Theist Ignorance.
It is not only factually incorrect but quite possible racist, and heightist...
When asked if we are to believe in a boat made of gopher wood, some 450 ft (300 cubits, about 1.5 ft to the cubit) could have been built by one man and his 3 sons, a design which when judged by it's size alone would have suffered from just about every problem of maritime engineering except "squat", you reply...
It was probably referring the Proto-Semitic language.

In reply to a biblical claim from Leviticus 11:3 you reply...*snip*
Ah the good old "Every culture on earth has a flood myth so that proves the global flood was true and god exists" routine, so nice to see a new approach to apologetics [/yawn]
Problem is, there is no evidence for a global flood, many peoples who do have flood myths don't have the same one, and some have really wild ones like the Egyptian one where mankind is SAVED by the flood, from a rampaging goddess, because the other gods spiked the flood with heavenly super beer and turned up the thermostat on the sun so the genocidal bitch would get thirsty while chopping people in half, and stop for a drink, pass out and then they could disarm her and drag her ass back to heaven...
Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, conquered the Babylonians (and a lot of other people too), then expelled the Hebrew slaves from the place, sending them back to Judea, with a small bag of money (relative term) which they used to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, which is why they called him a Messiah...

Except they were. There are many reasons to switch from hunter gathering to farming, but a better diet and better nutrition isn't one.When asked if we are to believe in a boat made of gopher wood, some 450 ft (300 cubits, about 1.5 ft to the cubit) could have been built by one man and his 3 sons, a design which when judged by it's size alone would have suffered from just about every problem of maritime engineering except "squat", you reply...
Hatshepshut's barge was built in 1500 BC and would have been approximately the same size, yet it was seaworthy.

Or maybe it might have something to do with less words in ancient languages than today, and the fact that a scholar isn't a biology expert.Ah the good old "Every culture on earth has a flood myth so that proves the global flood was true and god exists" routine, so nice to see a new approach to apologetics [/yawn]
More like, "Hey a major flood appeared!"Problem is, there is no evidence for a global flood, many peoples who do have flood myths don't have the same one, and some have really wild ones like the Egyptian one where mankind is SAVED by the flood, from a rampaging goddess, because the other gods spiked the flood with heavenly super beer and turned up the thermostat on the sun so the genocidal bitch would get thirsty while chopping people in half, and stop for a drink, pass out and then they could disarm her and drag her ass back to heaven...
