Saying he's wrong and convincing him other wise would have as much effect as an Atheist trying to convince a Christion the world is 4 1/2 billion years old compared to 6000.

A waste of time.

Do I get to be the atheist? Nothing against Christians in general, but fundamentalists aren't my cup of tea, to say the least.

Well I am a Christian Fundamental Bible-Believer. So thank you.

Wow, wow, wow and wow.

So, hang on a minute here...

Anakin's a whiny douche and the prequels are totally illogical and contradictory, but you have absolutely no problem with all the murder, rape, genocide, religious bigotry, appalling treatment of women, condoning of slavery, and all-round endless cruelty of the Bible, never mind its Bronze Age science, its profession of miracles and prophecies, its erratic injunctions, its obvious hackery and awkward duplications, and its flagrant contempt for human rights, reason, charity and fairness? Do you eat shellfish? Go near women on their periods? Do work on the Sabbath? Believe in the righteousness of people like Abraham and Moses? Believe in purported miracles and divine punishments like the burning bush, the parting of the Red Sea, plagues of locusts, a world flood and Noah's Ark, the infallibility of the Ten Commandments (of which there are also two sets), the infallibility of the story of Genesis (of which there are also two accounts), the divinity of Jesus, his racism, his contempt for families and women, everything said and implied about the end of the world and who gets to have "eternal life" in the Book of Revelation, the literal existence of hell and the idea of punishment without reprieve, various individuals being visited and spoken to by angels; and do you accept that the accounts of Jesus' life in the four gospels are accurate, despite being written decades *after* he lived (third-hand testimony), and despite there being other gospels which were excluded by a small group of self-serving ecclesiastics?

And what about the theory of evolution? Is that valid for you? The germ theory of disease? DNA? How old do *you* think the Earth, and for that matter, the universe, is? What is your attitude to marriage, divorce, homosexuality, transgenderism? What about Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains? They're wrong and you're right? If one person survives a flood and a thousand people drown, "god" is looking out for that one person? Kings and rulers are divinely ordained? Poverty is a noble condition and brings people closer to Jesus? Capital punishment is just? War is just? It's okay to mutilate the genitals of children? It's okay to indoctrinate them with your beliefs? Faith trumps reason? Authority supercedes wisdom? Revelation is better than evidence? What about AIDS? Is that a "punishment" for homosexuality and promiscuity? Wives should "obey" their husbands? Disobedient wives can be physically reprimanded? Does man actually have "dominion" over the animals? A talking snake convinced a woman to take a piece of fruit? Two "perfect" people were cast out of a magical garden and punished accordingly: men would be doomed to hard labour (even though we have machines; and many people never do hard labour; but people who do do, and have done, hard labour encompass both men and women, boys and girls), while women would be made to suffer the pain of childbirth (even though we developed pain relief; and not all women can or do give birth)? It was fine for "god" to sacrifice his own son and make him die a horrible and elaborate death? Sins of one generation are passed onto the next; onto multiple generations? Jews are "Christ Killers"?

On a vast and complex Earth, "god" promised a relatively tiny patch of land to a bunch of tribes in a desert? And it's still alright to covet that land indefinitely; sectioning it off and killing at will? Okay, so you imply you're alright with the Earth being much older than Biblical Fundamentalists traditionally claim, and that the Bible "
