Are u angry that I didn't sided with atheism(whose founder is satan).
If you don't believe in GOD, where do u morality came from and where will your soul go to after motality?
New fun fact
* Atheism was founded by no other person but Satan in the year
* If you don't believe in God, then you cannot be moral

Mr Macelliot, regarding morals, could you answer this question?
Let's say you stopped believing in God for a second, would you turn into a serial killer overnight because of your unbelief?

The North, South, East and West.

Come on dude.corners not cardinal points The earth is a sphere. There are no corners in a sphere.
The bible writers thought that bats were birds not mammals.
"And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, And the vulture . . . And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat."(Leviticus 11:13-19, where "fowl" isoph.Repeated in Deuteronomy 14:11-20, calling the same list "birds" [tsippor] and "fowls" [oph])

They also thought that thinking processes are done in the heart. The heart is an organ that pumps blood--it does not process thoughts, although the biblical writers erroneously thought it did. The word "brain" appears nowhere in the bible.
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5) "As he thinketh in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7) "And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him." (Luke 9:47) "For the word of God is quick, and powerful . . . and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)See also Deuteronomy 15:9, Judges 5:15, I Chronicles 29:18, Esther 6:6, Job 17:11, Psalm 10:6, Psalm 33:11, Jeremiah 23:20, Isaiah 10:7, Daniel 2:30, Acts 8:22.
The word "heart" in the bible was not used in the modern sense of "emotion" because it is depicted as having thoughts, intentions, and imaginations. The emotions were usually considered to be in the kidneys.
In biblical times, the kidneys ("reins"wink were the seat of the emotions. "Reins" was used roughly then as "heart" is sometimes used today:"Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins." (Psalm 73:21) "Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. Let not my heart envy sinners." (Proverbs 23:16-17) "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways." (Jeremiah 17:10) "All the churches will know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts." (Revelation 2:23).
Wake up man. You are living a delusion.
