		<description>They think the passages they quote are the ones without fault... and it&#039;s just everything they don&#039;t like that&#039;s all faulted by man.</description>

		<description>Who&#039;s scared of giving such critique?  You&#039;ve come to an article explicitly giving critique to the Bible, there are others doing such to the Quran.

Possibly, because America really isn&#039;t an area predominated by Muslim thought.  Just dealing with the biggest problem.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad that someone said earlier the true mission of this entry. True I am an Atheist, I won&#039;t take this time to trample all over anyone beliefs or lack thereof. However, I will say that it is funny that the religious commentators are saying that the Bible is written by man and full of faults, but are still quoting passages. Doesn&#039;t make sense to me.

Oh, and what about the religions that are older than this one?</description>

		<description>Making witty one liners is utterly useless and completely arbitrary.

Back up what you say.  By the way, using a quick find, ignorance is not said once on this page except by you, so I don&#039;t see why your quoting it.

No, ignorance is when you come across a page of information, then 83 other comments, and them make a BS one liner that is irrelevant without any backup to it at all and thinking it&#039;s a good comment.</description>

		<description>To &quot;dispel ignorance&quot;, it is a good idea to begin with oneself.</description>

		<description>Hmm... some old stuff but whatever.

&quot;In biblical times life expectancy was about 20 years. This figure was dragged down by an extremely high rate of infant and child mortality. A woman (and remember womanhood started with puberty) had to go through five pregnancies just to keep the population level stable. Back then all endeavors were labor intensive, and the primary source of labor was children, most families being too poor to depend on slave labor.&quot; 

Look, anybody with an ounce of history knowledge knows that child mortality rates are very high when going over 100 years back.  Just 300 years ago child mortality rates are near 27% for children under 10.  Take a look at underdeveloped countries life expectancy and child mortality rates.  The evidence, is bloody everywhere.  It&#039;s insurmountable amount.  Just try to find low mortality rates in history and underdeveloped countries.

Next, there was very little Ad Hominem.  Quoting once doesn&#039;t make it rampant, but I did happen to back it completely up.  Do you have more than one name?  What was your last statement?  Are you Torgeir?  I assume so.  

There is a lot of evidence and facts there, and you did very little to refute them.  You still aren&#039;t.  Would you like to take a stab?  I believe you said no, so I don&#039;t see why you&#039;re even bothering to post.

As for the last bit...  I think you&#039;ll find that the happy nice parts are the parts that heavily conflict with the Bible many times.

&quot;I believe in a God who loves you whether you love Him or not.&quot;
Then you don&#039;t believe in the Christian god.
    *  Psalm 5:5, &quot;The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity,&quot;
    * Psalm 11:5, &quot;The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates.&quot;
    * Lev. 20:23, &quot;Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them.&quot;
    * Prov. 6:16-19, &quot;There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers.&quot;
    * Hosea 9:15, &quot;All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.&quot;

Free will?  Nay, god didn&#039;t give free will.  If god knew the outcome of my life before he made me, then he made me to do exactly what he knew I would do.  That&#039;s not free will.  Furthermore, free will isn&#039;t free will when you have a loaded gun(hell) pointed to somebodies head.

And for somebody who does a lot of &quot;research&quot;, you certainly don&#039;t know a lot.
&quot;If God doesn’t exist, and if you really believe that, why have this argument in the first place?&quot;
