HELPING BELIEVERS TO KNOW THEIR BIBLE BETTER: PART 2
"One could take action when a bible is presented in hotel or hospital. First of all go prepared with a yellow highlight pen and ask if the bible is yours to keep. Then highlight some of the most damaging verses, such as –
Luke 14:26 – hate your mother and father
Matthew 10:34/36 – he came not for peace but with a sword
Psalm 137:9 – it will make you happy to dash your little ones against a stone
Leviticus 26:29 – eat the flesh of your sons and daughters
Proverbs 28:25 – if you trust the Lord you will put on weight
Matthew 23:9 – don't call a priest, father
Deuteronomy 19:18/19 – Kill anyone who tells a lie
Exodus 35:2 – Kill anyone who works on Sunday
Leviticus 20:27 – Kill all mediums by stoning
Deuteronomy 21:18/21 – Kill a rebellious son by stoning
Leviticus 24:14/16 – Kill anyone who utters a curse by stoning."
Thousands more could be added to this list.

Hey I had this idea too! I picked up a gideon's bible last time I was in a hotel and was jokingly quizzing my partner on "clean vs. unclean" (Leviticus), and thought putting stickies on those pages would be funny to do.
I'm taking a couple trips this spring, so I'll be sure and do my part. Right now I'm trying to memorize bible verses to be prepared to use them (sarcastically) in situations with my theist friends to make the same point. Those are some good ones to add to my list, thanks. I'm going to copy those down. (EvilBible is a good source.)

Good for you, Moonbeam.
The godbots need help in finding the parts that their bible teachers ignore.

These matters need widespread publicising. . .

The scariest thing about Christianity to me is the fact that groups like the Westboro Baptist Church are the most faithful and "word-abiding" by Christianity's own standards.

A Christian I worked with said "Don't take the lords name in vain" after I said "God damn it." I replied that taking the lords name in vain doesn't mean what he thinks. It means don't take credit for natural events such as floods, lightning, or eclipses. His face wrinkled up, then he said you are probably right about that, but please don't swear. I said OK. After that exchange he treated me less like heathen/infidel and I gained some respect from him.

re: taking the lord's name in vain...
I reply as follows:
-he is YOUR lord not mine
-Blasphemy is a victimless crime
-you say he is responsible for everything? then damn him
-It is your hell, YOU go there

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
