Atheists Holy Day

[altrisk 0]

COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY:

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days.
He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized day(s).

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed.'

The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said: "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians
have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah. Yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays"; The judge leaned forward in his chair and said, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant "

The lawyer said, "Your Honour, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."


The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is 'April Fools Day' Psalm 14:1 states "'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'
Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool.
Therefore, April 1st is his day.
Court is adjourned"

No re-direction needed. I certainly did not post this as fact, but to discuss the underlying truths of how dumb atheists are.

[tkhayes 125]

we are 'dumb' because a fake judge in a joke says we are? wow.....

How about the stupidity of following a deity for your whole life when you could actually be spending your time doing something useful for the world, humanity and our existence....?

Well it's kind of backfired, hasn't it? Atheists are dumb because a Psalm says so? That's it? You were probably of praying somewhere when they were teaching logic in your school, eh?

Epic fail.

Let's see, you think a snake talked to a woman, a 900 year old man built a boat with all the land animals on it and survived a flood that didn't happen, a guy live three days inside of a fish/whale, and that a dead guy on a stick is the saviour of the world, and yet atheists are the stupid ones?

Was just wondering if they practice the below biblical laws on childbirth at your church and if not how come?
And dont give me the old "that was the old law and jesus came and did away with the old law"
I would really like your opiniom on this.

Leviticus 12
12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (12:1-5) "She shall be unclean"
Women are dirty and sinful after childbirth, so God prescribes rituals for their purification. If a boy is born, the mother is unclean for 7 days and must be purified for 33 days; if a girl is born, the mother is unclean for 14 days and be purified for 66 days. This is because, in the eyes of God, girls are twice as dirty as boys.
(12:3)
"And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."
Is circumcision required?

12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or dove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest: (12:6-8)
"She shall bring ... a young pigeon, or dove, for a sin offering."
After a woman gives birth, a priest must kill a lamb, pigeon, or dove as a sin offering. This is because having children is sinful and God likes it when things are killed for him.
Is childbearing sinful?
12:7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be

The old testament or covenant is just that...the old one and a new one has been in place sanctified through the death and blood of jesus christ. The old testament is not what is to be followed but the new is. Its that simple.

Also, as I have stated and shown in the past a belief in god does not come from the bible saying to but from looking at the world in an actual scientific view point and, as is continually proven over and over, things like electric motors, complex machines, and extreme amounts of information are created. Whether it is the zeros and ones in a computer, a story on a tablet or DNA the method to draw a conclusion is the same. Big Bang and evolution science ignores the scientific method and picks and chooses the evidence it needs and ignores all else. From this a point one looks for who the creator or creators are through historical accuracy. When one does this they find the bible to be overwhelmingly accurate the best example being the book of daniel and its predictions as well as the not so well know findings of ancient egypt which also confirm the bible. Once again the same methods that are used to confirm other historical writings can be applied and one quickly confirms the validity of the bible. This is how one should come to believe the bible and the amount of evidence for a creator and the validity of the bible far outweighs such imaginary entities such as dark matter, dark energy, an expanding universe, black holes, etc.

Also, to help you understand why verses like the one quoted no longer apply.....christ was our "sin offering" given "once for all" as he was the perfect "lamb of God". Just another reason aside from the one I already stated.

Oh great....nice job. I'll just get you a trolling rig for your boat there Jonah- for christmas (small "c")

Regardless of that, why is it sinful to give birth to a child?

Why was it necessary to sacrifice those particular animals to god? What did he get out of it?

So god got it wrong the 1st time and had to put out new version? .... or sorry had to inspire followers to fix mistake by getting his son crucified?

"The old testament or covenant is just that...the old one and a new one has been in place sanctified through the death and blood of jesus christ. The old testament is not what is to be followed but the new is. Its that simple. "

Why do you believe this? becuase it is written in a book?
and you criticise Sceince for not following the scientific method, spot the double standard.
The big bang and evolution have ample evidence for them . Your arguments have been debunked eleswehere and you did not address them.

[Ion01 1]

My info and the info I sited has not been "debunk" and simply stating it to be untrue with no evidence does not "debunk" it. The reality is that is all that can be said as there is not sufficient info to "debunk" it as the standard theories of evolution and the big bang are flawed and unscientific.

Simply a wave of the hand and calling it stupid does not change reality.

Also, I am not going to waste my time addressing the flaws in the previous quotes of the bible. People have simply taken and isolated verses, in order to remove thier context, as well as applied unfounded assumptions as to the reasons for such commands and grossly misapplied the purpose of the testaments.

To put things simply, God is pure and cannot be in the presence of sin. We have all sinned meaning we must pay for our sins. The penalty of sin is death not just in this world as we call death but ultimately death by seperation from God for eternity which is what we call hell. The sacrifice of animals, which had to be pure and unblemished, was not only a symbol for christ but to take the place of thier life until the perfect sacrifice, christ, had come. Why did christ die. So we didn't have to. We have all sinned and deserve death as a result but christ died and took our punishment for us. However, we have the ability to reject his offering for taking our place as he has given us requirements (a will or testament) that we must meet. Just as a will or "testament requires the death of the testator" in order to take effect, the death of animals under the old and the death of christ under the new was required. Also, just as will today require others to do things in order to recieve the gifts described in the testament so to with the testament of God. Its that simple in reality. If one had actually read the bible one would understand this.
There are actually many bible scholars which do not beleive the bible who understand all these simple concepts and they dont turn to such rediculous stretching and twist of words to arrive at thier non-beleif. Infact they just simply say that there can't be a God so the miracles couldn't have happened yet they cannot and don't deny the accuracy and completeness and logic of the bible. They just say it can't all be true.
