Yes, the world would be much better. If everybody grew up reading the Bible, they would grow up reading about morals, love and peace. Even David, one of God's beloved, was punished when he did something that displeased The Lord.

I am not so foolish as to say, "The Bible has no wrong in it." but you will notice, that a large number of those who do wrong, are punished for it, and those who are not, their family will, within a few generations, be punished for the ill-got rewards of their ancestor.

Even atheists and other false religions follow the Word of God to an extent, they just don't realize it.

Don't believe me? I suggest you take a look at Matthew 7:12 for the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Wikipedia has a nice little article on how the Golden Rule is a basis upon which many other false religions have been created:
The full wiki article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethic_of_reciprocity

I shall not talk "to" the hand, but rather, "with" the hand, through Prayer to our Lord.

JK

How did you determine that?

Personally, I have never met another gay atheist. They have all been religious to some degree. My current boyfriend is a theist as well.



Please post the source of your evidence for this claim.


Are you also making the claim that the majority of moral deviants are atheists?

You do know that all islamofascists are theistic, right? You do know most neo-nazis are theists, right?

On what do you base your assumption?



So break it. Whats stopping you? Theists are the majority, right?

You must have missed Jesus' admonishments to pray quietly behind closed doors and not make a public spectacle of it.

I'm a heterosexual male. And a prude one at that.

I cant be bothered

Okay ,but are you getting much action

Your "messiah" was most likely gay.


As for the "mainly" straight options, many "bi" people favor a certain gender.

I'm an atheist and am most definately not gay.

1. Yes, this definately warrants "morals, love, and peace":

Genesis 38:8-10 NASB

Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also.

Piece of Ezekiel 23:26 (Supposedly quoted from a voice in the sky)

...They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire.

I could dig up a lot more, including some about how a "naked man came and spent the night with Jesus" but I think you get the jist.

2. Maybe so, but how is homosexuality a curse upon the future of the nation? How does a society that allows people- escpecially consenting adults- make their own descision and love who they wish curse itself? I would think Chritstians thought tolerance was a good thing.

3. You must mean "common sense" morality, as in don't harm the innocent. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a uniquely christian concept- no, this is a fairly universal feature amoung intelligent humans, a derivative of "devilution!"

4. Again... this is common sense. I'm not a christian because I have a share of common sense.

5. Thanks for proving my point. Well, aside from calling other religions false. All religions are false.

And again, Christians have less than a third of the American population (or at least the regularly attending ones, not including the unaffiliated/unreligous masses that claim to be christians when asked.

And he said the answer to life the universe and everything isn't 42. I'm disgusted and appalled I am.
