I have several translations of the Bible. Many more are available on-line. I have Bible commentaries. I studied the Bible, and taught Bible classes for years. I have read it carefully cover to cover. So don’t get too excited about thinking you are going to show me things in the Bible I haven’t seen before.
My atheism is the result of a brutally honest introspection after years as an active Christian. I realized more than 2 decades ago that one of the biggest lies in my life was my pretending that I really believed the Bible account. Had I died 30 years ago, and found God to be real, I would have been condemned for my hypocrisy. Now I haven’t an ounce of fear of standing before a God I didn't think existed. If he damns me to hell, it will be for being far more truthful than I ever was as a Christian.
As I expressed in my first post to you, I do not know why you maintain such an aberrant view about religion. As long as your extremism is limited to frequent threats against atheists on the internet, then I view you as a pretty harmless fanatic. I just hope you don’t take the next step and become the next newspaper headline about a religious psychopath who decided to kill himself and a bunch of others.
Unlike many others here, I read your book before ever conversing with you. And as far as you are concerned, one reason your angelic visitations have been sparse lately is because I met your angel and beat the stuffing out of him a while back. He apologized for leading you on like he has.
If you have something credible to say about a scientific subject, bring it on. But as to religion, I prefer the fiction of Tolkien to that of Enoch and Samuel.
Dear B.J.
You are the one with the real problem, so good luck!!
