Let's sit around the virtual camp fire and share scary bible stories.

...
Utterly genderless. Also, they have no navels.

So they're like what the religious call, "angels" --but His Minions have no wings, arms, navel, or legs?   

[Asmodean]

Well, no, they do not. But they are evil. 

[Magdalena]

Well, no, they do not. But they are evil. 

I believe Him. 

If He made them in His image...
That fierce gaze and those eyebrows! Lethal!

[Asmodean]

Arms. Hmph! Legs. Bah! As His mesiah, the Anti-John Nonnel, once said, "All you need is evil."

[Magdalena]

:dance1:
"All you need is evil, all you need is evil,
All you need is evil, evil. Evil is all you need...
...Evil is all you need..."

I love that song!

^ Mr. D. nails it with inconvenient evidence and cruel logic.

[Sandra Craft]

^ They misspelled "altar", and I'm sorry I'm the sort of person who notices such things.

[Icarus]

Not to be sorry Sandy.  You have been plenty cool with any critique that you have made now or in the past.

[Essie Mae]

^ They misspelled "altar", and I'm sorry I'm the sort of person who notices such things.

American spelling?

Pastors I knew would just dismiss all that as the expected attacks on Xianity. There is a bible verse saying that would happen, but I can't remember it. One otherwise lovely church member conducted a year-long bible study, (an hour each Tuesday evening), explaining, rationalising and justifying the OT.

I think one ease of the "morals" the bible "teaches" you, is that it's convenient. If you don't have to go through life thinking for yourself, you can just regurgitate anything you read, or are told, from the bible. And you can feel it's totally justified because you listen to a guy preach about it every week or so and listen to it from your family, friends, co-workers, ect.

Very true, but it was those sessions on the OT which stared the domino effect of gradual disbelief ending in unequivocal atheism for me.

Nah, we recognize the difference between "alter" and "altar", but some people just seem not to know it.
