Man pulls his eyes out of his head

Also, what idiot takes one action upon BILLIONS and suggest what you do? I will say this. If you look at averages of people who believe in Christ and those who are Athiest, you would have a better, well, if people think like you do, understanding of how much more f'ed up athiest are than Christians. Just look at the number?

How many Athiest do you think are in jail for murder and rape compared to Christian on ratio on how many their on in the US or wherever?

Do you understand the math when I say "per ratio"?

 

....... and? Is there a holy book telling atheists to do such things?

No.

Those were political killings, they required people to worship the state as if it were a god. Those sorts of killings are condoned and even encouraged in your book btw.

I suggest you watch the National Geographic documentary regarding life in North Korea, they worship Kim Jong Ill as if he were a god. The practice if indistinguishable from a Sunday service. Hardly the "free society" advocated by atheists, which just so happen to be opposed to genocide and doctrines that condone or encourage such behavior.

 

Hmmmmmmm...... the preacher reads the verse and a man pulls out his eyes such as the verse dictates.

Is someone ignoring the obvious?

 

Are All Christians Schizophrenic? Religious People Fit Classic Symptoms of Mental Disease

 

Then post some stats. I know one group follows a book which states you may rape a woman and taker her as a wife while the other group is disgusted by such behavior.

But you will have ot prove that lack of faith equal lack of morals, which you will be unable to accomplish.

Sweet!!!

Now show how many of those found God AFTER they entered? Or how many of them were "practiced" within their relgion?

We have discussed the importance of this several times and I am under the knowledge now that I can say I'm Protestant or Catholic just because I was raised that way and not follow God's way and still live saying such tarnishing his word...

 

Oh my, a crazy man did something crazy.
Call the newspapers.

 

I can't tell whether to be horrified or amused.

 

I'm thinking there's a good liability claim here. He just needs the right lawyer.

 

Would he have done it had he not read it in the Bible? A good lawyer can help him figure it out. Of course the church has good lawyers too -- ON RETAINER.

 

They were not crazy. They were following orders. How many Jews did the Nazis kill? Oh, right, Nazis are atheists. Not.

What was the Nazis' excuse?

 

You might want to go back and re-read that news story -- because that's exactly what it says.

 

This thread is typical for this forum.

An extremely stupid or insane person is discovered in the news.

That extremely stupid or insane person is a Christian.

Atheist posts link and says:

"See how stupid and/or insane Christianity is!"

I'm sure there is an official term for this kind of defective argument but I don't know what that term is.

Wait, I found it:

But pointing to an example of one stupid or insane Christian does not prove that Christianity is stupid and insane.

All it proves is that some people are stupid and insane, and some of these stupid and insane people are Christian.

I am looking for real debate with people who take debate seriously.

This kind of thread makes the whole forum look like a waste of my time.

 

Yet here you are.

 

The eyes are part of the brain.

 

Would he have not done something equally horrific to himself regardless of what he was reading ? Do you think this sort of self mutilation is unique ?

 

You are moving the goal posts, typical of your "evolution is a joke" threads.

 

Yet, you ignore the verse requiring Christians to commit the act.

Is the existence of the verse inconvenient? I see you ignored that and focused on a insane man committing an insane act.

 

If you are dumb enough that you would take those verses as literal...than you should not only not have eyes...but, you should be dead by now. You are too stupid to live.

The bible didn't make this person do this...his brain, and then his own hands did.

 

I better be careful with Wolfie, as in not say something like "Why dont you take a long jump off of a short pier!" He is such a 'good' literalist, he just might do it!!

 

Ignoring the obvious fact that I do not follow such mindless suggestions.

Do you have something constructive to add? Or just passing judgement?

 

so why would others ?

 

It had little to do with religion. Last I heard, the vast majority of Christians do not follow the instructions of the bible literally when told to tear out their eyes.

Common sense would say that this guy already had other problems. How many other Christians do you know of that have done this? Even one?

 

LOL! No they arent. The eyes are a completely separate organ.
