Wow, you added a bunch to your rant.

Some examples of abominable things just on this board: threads discussing your best or worst sexcapades;

Which many atheists here don't generally participate in, myself included (I may on occasion participate in the threads, but I don't participate in "sexcapades").

banning the Bible, but encouraging parents to show their kids pornography;

Neither of which I, and I would wager most other atheists here, are in favor of. In fact, I'm sure if you looked at those threads, you'd find many atheists arguing against them.

making all drugs legal, including cocaine, heroin etc. so people can die and cause chaos more easily

A gross misrepresentation for the pro-legalization argument. I'm personally in favor of legalizing some drugs; particularly marijuana, which in and of itself causes no one to die or cause chaos. More death and chaos are caused by the "war on drugs" than are caused by the drugs themselves, esp. if they were legalized.

- just what we need, 10 year olds bringing Cocaine to school for lunch;

Which no one, to my knowledge, would advocate.

abortion, if you don't want the child, don't screw around, women who fool around with their boyfriend, and then kill a fetus because they don't feel like taking care of it make me sick - that is anabominable act.

Which grossly misrepresents the reasons most women get abortions.

Let me get this straight... atheists do stuff that is declared abominable in the bible, and this is supposed to "prove" the bible somehow? But Magus, wouldn't you be even more convinced of the holiness of the Bible if even atheists agreed 100% with its moral guidelines?

Jesus said to ask for anything in his name and it would be granted. This was clearly a whopper of a lie.

To "cuss" means to curse. Jesus cursed the fig tree didn't he?

Jesus is abomnibable to God.

Looks like others have addressed your post pretty thoroughly.


I just want to know what substantiates the notion that people, specifically dead people, would cause more chaos after the legalization of a few more drugs.

With regards to those who dismiss arguments they could never answer, burial of one's head in the sands of the shores of the River DeNile does not the path to knowledge prove.

I call Magnus55's stance "invincible ignorance" . He doesn't care what we say, he doesn't care what evidence we find for him even if the truth is staring at him right in the face.

No jay, that passage isn't one of the main ones that prove the Bible to me. Its just an overall view of different parts of the Bible in regard to those who object to it. I don't have the passages mesmerized, so I can't really explain it to you.

No, to curse does not always mean cuss. And you kinda have to have faith that Jesus can provide what you ask for. He isn't gonna give someone who doesn't even believe He exists diddly squat if they ask for it.

The truth is God, anything you offer me is a lie. And if you are gonna insult me , at least spell my name right.
