Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 10:10pm On Sep 24, 2010 |
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God *** Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.* In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.* If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.* Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.* Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.* That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.* Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.* Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.* He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.* "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."* (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT) Goddam! The bible god is a beast! What say you Allah? And Satan did what again? |

@Mudley313, I actually though you had some good advice but I can see its otherwise. What ceases to amaze me is that you claim not to believe in God yet you keep going to the bible in your bid to discredit it. What exactly are you trying to prove? Why don't you have some peace and live your life and let others be? You keep walking 'to & fro'. You will never see Christians going to Islamic/other religion threads to post such hate all because we are at peace with our Merciful God. Take it or leave it. Therefore, go look for your atheist books to read and leave Christians since you have chosen to do so. You know evil people by their continuous 'tear-down' approcah to life. They never build. I, however, pray that your case will be like Saul/Paul in the bible and you will come to the knowledge of the truth. May you receive divine peace to your troubled soul. |

Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 12:49pm On Sep 25, 2010 |
Alwaystrue: oh! the usual naija christian apologists antics of attacking e-personality instead of tackling the issues raised. stick to the damn topic you worshiper of a dead and rotten jewish carpenter I actually though you had some good advice but I can see its otherwise. so, advice/instructions straight from the mouth of the god you serve straight from his infallible(?) book What ceases to amaze me is that you claim not to believe in God yet you keep going to the bible in your bid to discredit it. smh. how on earth can quoting directly from the bible be taken as an attempt to discredit it? or are you trying to say it discredits itself? that the all-loving jewish deity you guys always try to sell as all-loving and merciful is just one monstrous ego-driven genocidal maniac? What exactly are you trying to prove? that the bible god (according to your infallible bible) is a mass murdering blood thirsty monster that hitler, stalin and idi-amin combined cannot be compared to You will never see Christians going to Islamic/other religion threads to post such hate all because we are at peace with our Merciful God. quoting word-for-word from your bible is hate? now i see you're starting to get the picture, even though you just contradicted yourself again with the undeserved title of "merciful" after reading such atrocious deeds of your murderous god (straight from the horses mouth) You know evil people by their continuous 'tear-down' approcah to life. you must have a warped idea of what the word evil really is. you call quoting from your bible evil and see nothing wrong with a monster god who commands people to kill, loot, pillage, and r.ape others, including innocent women and children (and livestock, smh) just because they don't worship his egoistic angry azz May you receive divine peace to your troubled soul. May your mentally deluded and brainwashed soul receive the medical help you so deserve. ewu |

@Mudley313 I, however, pray that your case will be like Saul/Paul in the bible and you will come to the knowledge of the truth. Did you deliberately miss that out? So could you move on now and stop getting deranged over something that does not concern you. God loves you, bro. |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 3:33pm On Sep 25, 2010 |
Alwaystrue: yes i did. cos i'm not obliged to answer to every deluded comment from the religious lunatic fringe. paul ni, saul ko. God loves you, bro. you must not be talking about that maniacal monster who gave those atrocious orders to his followers in the bible passage quoted above. unless, like i said earlier, you guys own definition of love is utterly warped from the delusion of dogma. god loves me but he's gonna be frying my azz in his imaginary torture chamber of eternal fire. yea right! retards |

At least, alwaystrue has succeed in derailing the thread.Waiting for a justification for such a genocidal instruction, there is no need for the devil. |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Jenwitemi(m): 7:36pm On Sep 25, 2010 |
We all already know that the christians worship an evil entity, and so do they. Do not expect the christians to do anything else other than to either derail the thread or avoid it altogether. One can't defend the indefensible. Kay 17: |

God's credentials >>>>>> by the way, not tryna ridicule any religion o, just quoting n getting my stats directly from the bible itself, like the OP and the chat above. be blessed |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Purist(m): 12:55am On Oct 04, 2010 |
Funny that the Christians here have deliberately avoided this thread. Be rest assured that those who may still contribute will only find a way to shift focus to the O.P's "motive", and will derail the thread altogether. And this is a part of the reasons why I quit Christianity. I just cannot afford to belong to a belief system that I won't be able to defend 100%; a religion where I'll constantly feel ashamed reading about so many despicable things in my so-called holy book. I honestly don't understand how you guys (christians) manage to wave these things off and still be at peace with your conscience. |

Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 8:58pm On Oct 04, 2010 |
Uyi Iredia: huh? that verse is straight from the bible. are u now saying the humans (your gods chosen) who embarked on such barbaric genocidal killing spree are deluded? Okay the irony in your posts is how you cast yourself in the mold of an atheist >>> in my own perspective >>> yet you discredit a God you clearly don't believe exists same way i would discredit an allah, a yahweh, a superman or santa claus for the OBVIOUS reason that they all are fictional characters you are deluded smh @ you talking to yourself now can you stop beating around the bush and answer to the subject of the thread if you pls may [center][/center] |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Purist(m): 4:53am On Oct 05, 2010 |
@toba: I am wondering why you did not "Gbam" the first line of his post. |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Purist(m): 5:11am On Oct 05, 2010 |
@Uyi Iredia Uyi Iredia: The same "delusion" can be attributed to Christians that constantly discredit Allah whom they clearly believe is "false". Besides, you just contradicted yourself. Your opening statement suggests that you do not regard the Deuteronomy god to be a true one - "some God", you called him. This is also evidenced by the "delusion" label you ascribed to the Isrealites for carrying out his supposed instructions. Then in your second line, a part of which I quoted above, you're displeased that this same god is being discredited, even though you yourself already discredited him/her/it seconds earlier. |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by UyiIredia(m): 1:44pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
@ Don 'mud' Mudley smh @ you talking to yourself *sighs & looks at 'Mud' Mudley's statement with a cold face* now can you stop beating around the bush and answer to the subject of the thread if you pls may answer to what topic >>> what u call 'topic' is a mere ranting (and it is on that basis i gave my comment) >>> if want objective answers u need to make the subject of the topic clear & simple >>> meaning: i don't understand the 'subject' or 'topic' in question same way i would discredit an allah, a yahweh, a superman or santa claus for the OBVIOUS reason that they all are fictional characters you forget (or rather 'conveniently ignore') the fact that fictional characters are based on (and deal with) everyday realities that humans, irrespective of race, beliefs, religion can relate to >>> they have verisimilitude >>> besides, i'm a fan of 'old suppie' >>> furthermore, i can bet that u ain't made a post discrediting superman as evil @ Purist >>> i meant to write 'the same God' NOT 'some' God >>> your presumption is wrong >>> moreover, u clearly don't understand the semantics of my post >>> I never (and will never as a Christian) discredit God_that's the job of (strong) atheists @ 'Mud' Mudley & Purist >>> lemme rephrase (albeit, a repetition of) my earlier point, for clarity >>> u clearly don't believe in a god >>> people attribute actions to a God they believe in >>> u castigate the 'God' (that u don't believe in_figure out the rest) |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 2:23pm On Oct 05, 2010 |

Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by UyiIredia(m): 2:39pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
i'll take the fact that u didn't reply to my comment on fictional characters that u understood clearly what i meant there stop going around in circles. christians castigate allah on the regular even if they dont believe in him so whats your point here my point in a sentence >>> You don't have the moral right to castigate a God u don't believe in besides i think i can safely say that Muslims & Christian as well as other pagan religion followers have something in common >>> We are Theists >>> We believe in a God(s) but percieve God(s) in different ways as espoused by our various religious practices personally I don't castigate Allah >>> though u i'll need u to be clear on the context of castigation >>> u talking about castigation the Muslims, or the use of the word 'Allah' (please be clear) *more posts coming* |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 2:52pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
Uyi Iredia: smh. as if im obligated to answer everyone of your senseless rants especialy when u have blatantly refused to speak on the subject matter of this thread: your gods despicable command to his people. let me reply it then so dat u can sleep well at night but pls accord me the same by helping me explain the barbarity of the verse in the OP furthermore, i can bet that u ain't made a post discrediting superman as evil reply: cos superman is not depicted as EVIL in marvel comics but your god clearly is in your my point in a sentence >>> You don't have the moral right to castigate a God u don't believe in says who? n i still keep wondering how quoting directly from your bible amounts to castigation Uyi Iredia: hope you're going to be sticking with the issues raised in the OP this time if not im done with your deluded self |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Purist(m): 3:17pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
@Uyi Iredia: Okay, point noted. But I still don't get you though. Are you saying that pointing out the despicable actions of Yahweh as recorded in the Bible is the same as 'castigating' him? I don't think Mudley made up the story. It's right there in your bible. Besides, talking of castigations, I think Mudley's position here is pretty logical. He does not need to believe in your god before he can speak about him - afterall, this god was written about extensively. In this case, he's simply discrediting god "as recorded", NOT god "as he disbelieves'. Afterall, his atheism is NOT based on the Christian god alone. I'm sure he would so the same if allah were the subject matter. If a religion is formed from Santa Claus today, even you would do the same. His supposed 'castigation', the way I see it, is just a sarcastic way of telling you, "Wake up, there's no such thing as god!". |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by UyiIredia(m): 3:27pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
1st >>> ROFLMHO >>> he (Superman) has been depicted as evil >>> he as an evil alter-ego Bizarro >>> and on countless occasions Superman has gone rogue >>> what's even more dangerous is the fact his indecisiveness (for 'good' reasons or 'moral' ground) >>> more often than not causes harm >>> watch Smallville & see my point (not to mention the fact that he has been depicted as evil in DC comics) >>> Superman isn't a Marvel character now to the 'topic' >>> i have to say that your post is verbose >>> i would like to take my time to analyze those scriptures @ Purist >>> then he should have explicitly wrote "Wake up, there's no such thing as god!" >>> and left no room for ambiguities >>> state categorically what (phrase) u don't understand |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Purist(m): 3:47pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
Uyi Iredia: He says it everytime, in different ways. . . and this is just one of those ways. Uyi Iredia: I understand your comments. What I don't understand is you yourself. You keep talking about 'casigations' like the story was made up. Or was it? |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by UyiIredia(m): 3:49pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
@ Purist >>>The concept of freewill completely invalidates any possible existence of an 'omnidespotic', 'omniwicked', 'omnipresent' and 'omnimalevolent' God. Case closed !!! >>> deja vu ? |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Kay17: 4:26pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
As I correctly predicted, the thread is on the course to derailment. As to castigation of another's religion, its justified if you and that person are on the same planet, it concerns your welfare what beliefs spin in his world. If an person in his head, insists he should blow himself and some people. Though, I believe there is no god or gods; for the sake of convenience, assume his existence to point out the flaws for his/her nonexistence. To Christians the bible is an inerrant word of god, thus a perfect tool of conveying the almighty's instruction to his chosen creation. With the high expectation for perfection, the bible has being a constant source of disappointment. Blatant contradictions with scientific knowledge (check out Jacob's genetics), internal contradictions: some conflicting verses and a shock to our moralty. Assuming the christian god exists, a perfect god at that; his laws of course will be unchanging and the highest level of morality attainable. but this verse :' merely proves that is the law of a primitive tribe. |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by UyiIredia(m): 5:19pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
derailment? >>> how so? >>> did I veer of the topic >>> i expressly made it clear that i'll answer the topic the best way i can if 'twas made clear enough
not in my viewpoint @ Purist >>> nope !!! (the story wasn't made up) >>> i talk of 'castigations' because God's benevolence is constantly glossed over >>> i believe this post i once made should give my insight into the 'subject Mudley is talking about >>> talkless of the myriad of Christian 'Bibles' & beliefs >>> recently encountered a Christian who believed in Christ >>> but not the Bible >>> click here for more some 'comments' from the site
i could as well ask which of the Christian God(s) or Bibles is being referred to (by Mudley), howbeit, i would risk being circular |
Re: Christians! You Guys Have Some Work To Put In For The Lord by Mudley313: 5:44pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
now to the 'topic' >>> i have to say that your post is verbose >>> i would like to take my time to analyze those scriptures well, do that before coming back to reply to the thread n making a complete fool out of yourself Uyi Iredia: you seem to know more about superman than u know of your god n whats written in his/her/its Uyi Iredia: Uyi Iredia: smh @ this confusionist |
