hello!

[Merc]

lo, im merc and im an atheist, im from ireland and id jus like to say hi! to be more accurate im an agnostic atheist cause i dont think anyone CAN know 100% that theres no god/s, suppose the main reason im an atheist is becuase of this...
"...entice thee secretly, saying, let us go and serve OTHER GODS, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers...but thou shalt surely KILL HIM; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt STONE HIM with stones, that he die."

i forget which part of the bible its from, il find out ASAP, also the fact the bible say its OK for parents to hit there kids, and that homosexuality is wrong and gay should be killed (im not gay btw)

so thats me!

Hi Merc - welcome to the forum!  The passage you quote is somewhat infamous - I think its from Deuteronomy - here's the same story told in the humorous form of Legos:

When to stone your whole family

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome Merc... I like your point of view!

And thanks for the link to the Legos, Steve... I'd forgotten about that site!  LOL!

Welcome to the forum, Merc.  

It's nice to see another young person using the noggin and thinking for himself.  Yay, rational thought!

Welcome Merc - whereabout in Ireland?  I was in Waterford a few years ago... have some friends there.

[Tom62]

Welcome Merc. I've been in Ireland only once. Have to go back there someday, cause I love the country.

Welcome, Merc. Yet another fine country is represented here!

For those who hadn't noticed, this thread is about a new member saying hello.

I would ask that we keep it on track. There is no place in here for nation bashing, or name-calling. If you want to do that, take it to PMs or to another forum. This message is for all of you who decided to jump in on that. Please respect others and the rules of the forum.

Thanks.

Hello Merc, and welcome to the forum.

I visited Dublin a few years ago -- what a fun city. Guinness never tasted so good. Mmmmm, Guiness.

[Mister Joy]

Yeah, welcome again Merc. Sorry for contributing to the derail of your thread, there.
