You sure about that are you? Interesting since 20 of the 40 posts on the first page of this thread, not including ones by myself or Lebell, are about how people believe "god" acts and feels (love/hate/vengeance/mercy/etc). So whether or not the OP meant for that to be the direction of the topic is irrelevant since "discussions" are fluid entities, otherwise they would be called "lectures"

I do find it amusing that in a thread that you say is about free speech, that I'm getting slammed for asking questions.

As a non-believer, I enjoy reading a spirited discussion about religion as much as the next guy. Reading someone's one-line "zingers" that attempt to force others to defend their religion isn't alll that entertaining.

Now, were you to follow that up with some insight as to why you hold that statement to be true, it would be considerably more interesting. Without the elucidation on your part however, it just looks like you're trying to start a fight.
I never once said, implied, or inferred that I have insight regarding this subject. I do however have questions about inconsistencies and "things that just don't jive". But then again I'm not the the one who so believes in something that I am willing to proclaim myself a member of a group, but not be willing to explain the rules to anyone else. And I'm sure as heck not going to accuse someone of "picking a fight" for asking questions about something as important as this is supposed to be.

And even if I was half the "evil meanie" that I'm being made to look like, I would think that Christians would welcome that even more according to Matthew 5:10. Although in this case that may not be applicable. This whole 'the Bible is just a storybook' from a self proclaimed Christian is a new one for me, and bring up a whole new set of questions that won't be answered.
