Evil Bible Quote of the Day for August 9, 2003 from

Micah Kills a Whole Town (Judges 18:27-29 NLT)

"Then, with Micah's idols and his priest, the men of Dan came to

town of Laish, whose people were peaceful and secure. They attacked

killed all the people and burned the town to the ground. There was

one

to rescue the residents of the town, for they lived a great distance

from

Sidon and had no allies nearby. This happened in the valley near
Beth-rehob.Then the people of the tribe of Dan rebuilt the town and

lived

there. They renamed the town Dan after their ancestor, Israel's

but it

had originally been called Laish."

(Note that God approves of this slaughter in verse 6.)

It does not say that God approved of it. It says that this young
priest, said that God approved of it. There were times in Israel when
the priests and false prophets, that claimed to speak for the Lord,
did not really speak for the Lord. In the days when the judges ruled
Israel had fallen into sin and idol worship. Micah was an immoral man
that had a house full of idols. Any real priest of the Lord would not
be involved with this idol worshipper.
Judges 17:12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man
became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
This young man was not a real priest of the Lord. He was falsely and
wrongly consecrated by Micah, who was an immoral idol worshipper.
God did not approve of the slaughter. That false priest said that God
approved of it, and that false priest did not know what he was talking
about.

Clearly the priest lied. There are no gods, so how could he consult

What I don't understand is how people can believe someone who says that

talks to them. You apparently understand that at least some parts of

Bible involve priests lying about God. Maybe soon you will realize that
every time someone in the Bible says that God talks to them they are

Of course you don't understand it. If you are in sin and unbelief, you
will not be able to understand it, because God will give you over to a
reprobate mind to be deceived by the devils.

2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that
are lost:
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel
of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

First show some willingness to accept God's will, if He really does
exist, and then ask Him to prove His existence to you. [You must do
this with a willingness to obey Him, if He really does prove Himself
to you.]

Well, DUH! The *entire bible* is the written record of priests lying.

That is your opinion. Why continue to drag up something that nobody

you) can prove definitively one way or the other?

Let's get one thing straight here before continuing. Editor of

talking about the god of the bible and you are not. You are being

dishonest by comparing your apples to Editor's oranges.

Intellectually dishonest? I like that one.

If the "god of the bible" was so easy to interpret there wouldn't be 9
zillion religions out there, would there? There are tons of people who
don't take these stories Evil Editor mentions literally and instead
attribute them to the human writers of the time.

So which "god of the bible" are we speaking about again? The Baptist

The Catholic one? The Jewish one? The Mormon one? All interpret these
stories differently.

That was my point, exactly. Thank you for reiterating it.

And the existence of gods can be proved one way or the other. The only

know about the god called Jehovah of the jews and christians, is because

meresay of a storytale called the bible. If a god, any god, actually

outside of your imagination that he/she/it/them exists, we would see

evidence of it. The fact is there is no actual evidence and the absence

evidence proves lack of evidence (in this case it does, much as the lack

gunpowder in the aftermath of an explosion proves that the explosion

caused by gunpowder). Let's see for ourselves...

That would be true if that god wished for definitive evidence to be made
available.

God has no choice about it: physically real things physically interact

other physically real things. There are no exceptions.

I tend not to foray into the actual intentions of God.

Which one?

Would you not agree that it would be possible (we're not saying logical

likely or whatever) just *possible* that a god could exist without that

making his/her/it's existence known to you? Think before you answer that

Anything is possible in your imagination but there is a huge difference

what is possible and what is actual. If you limit yourself to reality

fantasy, there is absolutely no evidence of any god or gods around you.

cannot even begin to guess what a god or gods would act or look like

have never even had a glimpse of what they would act or look like. All you

do is pretend but pretending won't make it real or even possibly real.

That is what is known as "reasonable doubt." There will always be
reasonable doubt to any argument claiming to prove the non existence of
gods, just as there will always be reasonable doubt to any argument

to prove the existence of god.

There is no reasonable doubt because there is no reason to even suspect

existence of a god or gods, hence the reason there are so many versions of

or gods out there. Everyone make believes in their own version but not one

those versions is based on an actually existing god or gods.

Therefore the two groups (believers and non-believers) will never be able

find a common ground. We can however, leave each other alone. The Evil
Editor does not choose to do this ... therefore I don't have to leave him
alone.

There is no point in finding common ground. That would be like trying to

common ground between child molestors and non child-molestors. But should

leave each other alone? Heck no! Religious beliefs are a very immoral and
dangerous threat to mankind because most religious beliefs assume holy
sanctification ("a people set apart for me" as one Bible puts it) that

eventually attract violent, unstable people looking for a means to justify

madness. When one believes that they are part of an elite religious group,

will naturally start to first discriminate and then ultimately exterminate

those who pose a danger to their their dogmatic viewpoints, for any

viewpoint MUST ultimately be perceived as a challenge to the right of

deity's claim as the one and only God. I sadly envision a future for my

where the next World War is a Bosnian-like attempt by proponents of

religious factions to ethnically cleanse the planet of those unfortunates
unlucky enough to be born in a region where they worship a "false god". I

like to speak out against that now while the "silent majority" remains

I know that God has spoken to me.

It isn't presumptious to say you are either a liar or delusional.

That is your opinion.

No it isn't, it is a psychological fact. There are lots and lots of people

nut houses that hear god's voice all the time...what makes you different

them?

God hasn't told me to destroy whole towns or
build a theme park but has spoken nonetheless.

At least not yet...but give it time.

Well, let's just hope God doesn't tell me to destroy your town .... LOL

until then, we don't have to worry about that.

I wouldn't worry about it anyway, since I am well armed.

Is that a lie? No, it is a belief. One that you can't change,

of your daily nonsense.

A belief can be a lie...it is called "intentional self-deception".

Only if it has intent.

Which by definition they all do.

Your continuous quest against God, etc is as amusing as ever. Keep it

... I'm sure you're "converting" folks en masse. I told you before and

tell you again ... don't confuse religion with God. Religion can and

have flaws. God does not.

So you do not believe in the bible. Good for you, but if you cannot even

your personal re-invention of a god exists outside of your imagination,

certainly cannot prove that your god is perfect. You are merely

another version of god exists (outside of the bible and christianity)

pretending that god is perfect. We don't pretend anything, we simply

reality as it actually is instead of what we wish it were -- why can't

the same?

You are under the false assumption that I am under any obligation to

anything to you.

No I'm not. I don't care if you can prove anything or not, but obviously

can't prove anything even if you wanted to because you lack one important

facts.

What I "pretend" to exist is frankly, up to me.

When it comes to god, all you can do is pretend.

I don't have a website called www.evilatheist.com and don't have a daily
digest on how you folks are going to burn in hell. Perhaps you should
consider extending the same courtesy.

Agreed. Since you aren't a target, I will ignore you from now on.

I just realized this ... why did you add alt.atheism back to this thread?

Why do you keep taking it out? I put it in on purpose because it is
on-topic for that group.

First of all, I wasn't talking to you, Evil Editor.

Why do I keep taking it out? Because last I checked, many atheists from
alt.atheism ask over and over for theists to stay out of their group.

I have no problem respecting their wishes ... rules (see below) or not.

You do not wish to debate or even discuss. You merely preach and judge.
There's quite a difference.
