freedom of religion does mean we have the right to no religion. this country was created to get away from the church’s grasp on every aspect of peoples lives. the church was cruel and in the very sense of the word… evil. you actualy believe that crap about Jesus giving up his throne as king of the universe to save you. sounds like a bad science fiction novel, a really bad one. sounds like mythology. what’s next, Jesus is gonna come down here and kill all who don’t believe? oh… my bad… you DO believe that, don’t you! you can say what you want, but i smoke crack with jesus, and he sais it’s all just a bunch of bull! haha- funny story, one time i slept with Jesus’ mother, Mary. she said she lost her virginity when she was 11 years old to a donkey. the whole “virgin mother” thing, she said it was all her father’s idea to say that she was a virgin b/c he didn’t want the villagers to think he had raised a “loose woman.” (his words, not mine.)
true story

Jesus calls his family “the Grizwalds!”
he sais his family has never been all there, if you know what i mean. you probably don’t b/c you’re obviously not all there either, but whatever, right?

question- what kind of father leaves his kid behind, and never comes back to get him? and the world is a big scary place too, you know. i mean, he didn’t even do nothing to help his own son when everyone was torturing and killing him. yeah… that Yoway is a great guy! i know i spelled it wrong you fool, but what’s the difference? it’s a name of nothing that exists! it is a cool name though. Yoway… say that ten times fast! (it’s funny)
alright, well it was nice to offend you and remember…

Jesus sais- “don’t forget to change you bong water.)

UH!

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” (I Corinthians 14:34-35)

To Rieux:

Without making a theological argument about the passages you cite, which I expect you’re not interested in–The only evidence anybody has for what Jesus was like is what the writers of the New Testament say, and what they can be inferred to have believed. The gospels and Acts show no evidence that the first Christians murdered anybody for differing beliefs–so that, even if this did happen, the New Testament authors clearly don’t depict it as a prescribed part of Christian life, as they would have done if they had understood this parable to command murder. Based on the fact that the parable of the talents is included in the gospels at all, the author(s) clearly valued it and understood it to mean something–something other than a commandment to murder unbelievers.

All of which is to say, please don’t just extract biblical quotations to make a point. Doing so is treating the Bible as the simple, literal history that fundamentalists make it out to be instead of a very old, very odd text with a great many beliefs overlaid on it.
