Look at the world. Look at anything within the world that has been made by a single designer, then look at anything that has been organised by a committee. Yup, the world has "Run by committee" written all over it. Of course if there is a God it isn't just one being.

Did Scientific and Biological facts about Evolution ever stop Christians believing that the world is only 6000 years old? Maybe Talitha makes them look at themselves in a way they can understand and realise their stupidity. Since when did rational thinking and facts have anything to do with religion?

That's actually good: the vast majority of Christians don't feel the need to impose their views on others or otherwise convert people. The literalist Bible thumpers are in the extreme minority even amongst their fellow Christians. Estes real fight isn't with the atheists, it's with his more tolerant, less dogmatic fellow Christians.

Nonetheless, when people who should know better quote from a bible translation that falsifies the proper name YAHWEH into "the LORD", or the dual-sex, generic plural ELOHIM into the masculine, singular, proper name, GOD, I feel an intense urge to inform them that there IS a correct translation available. It is THE FULLY TRANSLATED BIBLE (2 volumes, Booksurge, 2006, 2007). We don't have to help the godphuqt by tacitly endorsing their deliberate falsification of what the original-language bibles really said.

Yes, indeed it was the good old King James Bible. It's the one laid down by God himself and was the one that he commanded should never be changed. I can assure you, I did not misquote. Unfortunately the Catholic Church along with all the other false versions of Christianity decided to re-write it and thereby tried to change the word of God. False Christians like Shaun and Tome Estes follow false doctrine and really believe their Fluffy Bunny approach to Christianity. Of course, there is only one place they will be on Judgment day. I've heard that being Butt-raped by Satan is not a pleasent way to spend eternity.

I don't usually comment on such things as I don't feel that it is too important as long as people get their meaning across but it does seem to be a bit of a Christian trait.

To be a believer of your calibre requires ignorance on a literally cosmic scale. Tell me the significance of the number 153 mentioned in John 21:11 and how it relates to the Christian fish symbol and I might begin to take you seriously.
