Secondly, whatever happened to turning the other cheek? Ironic. Needless to say, I do think you make several good, interesting points supporting religion. I just don't think it's enough, and that clearly, many of D10's points simply went unaddressed and unanswered because, well, there's no rational response about the many fallacies in the Bible. Furthermore, why a compassionate god could perform random miracles centuries ago but turn a blind eye to today's atrocities is simply unanswerable, even by the foremost theologists, who have largely concluded that there is a 'larger plan' meant to teach us wisdom through suffering. However, this does not account for the immense suffering experienced by nonhuman animals, much of which occurs due to Christian-centric beliefs about man's supposed superiority over beasts. Nor does it account for the demeaning attitude of many Jews, Muslims, and Christians towards Eastern religions, especially Hinduism and Buddhism. In short, there are a lot of questions atheists have, and we do, in fact, have a right to mock beliefs which have been harmful to society by way of sexism, racism, and speciesism. Further, while I do not respect theistic beliefs, I still respect theists. Theists are theistic for various reasons and deserve respect for who they are. But free speech is free speech, and religious beliefs ought to be criticized - or at the very least questioned - in order to prevent the moral stagnation of humanity. I just don't think that criticizing religion amounts to "hating on" theists. Many of my best friends are believers, and I adore them. I just disagree.Love, M Hi religious folk,

Also, it is obvious to me that the Jew envies the Atheist's perspicacity and that Reason does NOT ATTEND HARVARD. Brown maybe, but definitely NOT HARVARD.

(1 Corinthians 6:16) So basically, Lena is getting married and divorced over and over again, and probably could be considered a polygamist... and if Janie ever does have sex with anyone, whether it's legal marriage or not, she's basically marrying that person (or those people, depending on if her mind ever changes).Actually, my real point isn't even marital status. It's that promiscuity truly does affect your heart, especially in girls. I think it affects one primarily in a spiritual way, but it also causes a lot of baggage. Most guys out there would rather end up for life with a girl like Janie over a girl like Lena. I speak from experience from Janie's point of view (although I waited til I was "married" - see definition above).
