I didn't read through this whole thread to see what else you posted, but that has got to be the most retarded thing I have ever seen you post, and that is saying a lot in my book. With a mentality like that I'm pretty sure you should be spending your time in the looney bin and not on a public forum.

I'm always dumbfounded by religious people's lack of knowledge about their own scriptures, while so many atheists and agnostics can demonstrate intimate acquaintance with these. Perhaps that's why atheists and agnostics think the way they do.

It's the book of Leviticus which condemns homosexuality. It also condemns - to death, mind you - adulterers, prostitutes, blasphemers, and children who defy their parents; prescribes excommunication and exile for both partners who've had sex while the woman is menstruating; prohibits wearing clothes of two different materials, eating shellfish, and cutting the hair on the sides of your head; and condones slavery.

Context is everything it would seem :p

Yes. Apparently the only law that actually matters is the one about gays.

In my experience, people tend to get more looney in the looney bin, so if Neo has any hope of getting rid of his looneyness, he should take off his blinders and make use of this 'Google' he speaks of to search for some quality non-religious websites.

He might also have to look into the fact that it might be a sin not to use your (as he might put it) 'God-given' brain.

It's sort of ironic that many atheists - myself included - are filled with all the love and respect for other human beings that the christian bible prescribes (well, the New Testament, anyway), while so many christians are intolerant and hateful.

True.

If I were a believer, I'd thank the lord for games like Fallout: New Vegas. But since I'm not and the mighty one probably isn't a games developer, I'll just say thank you Obsidian. And with that, I'm off to the wasteland...

My dear hallowed Obsidian.

I thank thee for the four hours of quality gameplay that have been bestowed upon me.

May I be granted the same gift tomorrow evening.

Amen.
