If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Ahhh...that's The Thinking Atheists youtube channel. I've been subscribed to this for quite some time. Good stuff.
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

How should your slave beat you.
It's not a personal thing.
I'm just asking in the interest of symmetry.

However some of the jumped up jackasses do need a damn good kicking. Not that they will respond to the kicking but just to show they can be kicked

Tank,

Thanks for this link and I'd like to "Bump" it just to let other members know.

Also, the guy who created that video - The Thinking Atheist - has a whole Youtube page of videos and even a speech at the following address:

It's really a good speech.

Thanks.

Some of these are quite amusing.

How to beat your slave
Amusing, indeed.

Here are some other bloodthirsty verses from the same chapter:

Exodus 21:16 - "Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper's possession."
Exodus 21:26-27 - "An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth."

Well, that certainly cuts prison expenses  ;D

QuoteExodus 21:26-27 - "An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth."

Yay for more slave beating! Though if it means to lose a tooth or two for freedom, not too bad of a deal I suppose. Until the next slaver raid anyhow ::)
Loosing an eye...ermh, yeah, not taking that one for the team  :-\
