You said something about Armageddon and all those that do not believe will die? There is a coming war. believers in God and those who do not. The Bible lays it out pretty well. You will take the mark of the beast or you will not.
Well yes, according to the "prophecy" that you accept without question.
Unfortunately there are many religious people working to fulfill that prophecy. Why do you think Islamists are picking fights where ever they can? They want the fight because they believe they will win.
Atheism exist to kill us Chrisitians and like it or not because you believe, you have as much ownership of these atrocities as you claim we do.
Atheism is the absence of something and as such doesn't exist per se, so your claim is insensible.
The atrocities are firmly in the camp of the religious. Your books tell the stories quite clearly.
Keep in mind that ever since Jesus died for all of our sins at the cross, the religious message has been 'love thy neighbor'.
Thankyou for raising the point for dying for sin. It has always been a curious thing.
God designed absolutely everything about the Universe and beyond. Apparently then he designed the rule that says, "Any form of sin requires a death of something innocent to be forgiven."
He had to have His own son, the ultimate innocent, crucified in order for Him to forgive us. Clearly God has not changed his tune since the Old Testament at all. Could this "God" actually just forgive without the need for slaughtering?
The really perverse part is that the Bible explicitly explains how many innocent animals are to die as an equivalent penalty and how this deal can be negotiated with the priest based on your wealth. That and the instruction on which side of the altar to pour the blood.
What kind of message is this about the nature of morality? From this supposed "guide to living"?
Those not fully aware of what is in the Bible should take the time to read what it actually says on such matters. It isn't hard to find it online. Some sites offer your wide choice of many different versions of the "immutable truth".
Take your pick because the words in any version speak for themselves. My favorite chapter is where Joshua and his followers invade their Promised Land while brutally slaughtering tens or hundreds of thousands of people who already lived there. You won't be able to put it down.
The followers of Abraham's Monster try to pretend otherwise but the truth is that they are involved in what are quite literally primitive death cults. Those who worship the God of Abraham perpetuate it.
