I've read Chiu's stuff, it's really amusing! He can't possibly be serious... yet he is. :)

Actually, it implies she still needed to be stoned, but only by God, since everyone else has committed sins. Unless, that is, if she believes in Jesus, then her sins are forgiven by God. The problem, of course, is that the sins of the stone-throwers are completely irrelevant to the imposition of...

But even if Adam, Eve, and Noah were real people, they're all people of the earth. What was the author of Genesis 2:4 referring to by the "generations of the heavens?" So Jesus was a racist bigot? And His excuse is that all the other Jews were doing that as a matter of custom? If Jesus changed...

"We would have been here earlier, ma'am, but your husband wasn't dead yet." (Leslie Nielson, as Lt. Frank Drebin, in "Police Squad!" TV show)

The Bible also tells you to "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God." Which other among the Ten Commandments are also "non-essential," open to negotiation and disagreement?

Too late. They're already dead.

All that was needed to defeat the Nephilim was to kill off everything in the flood, including Noah and his family, and not permit Noah to build an ark. Noah was a Nephilim. At least I presume he was, because the Bible introduces the Nephilim in Genesis 6:4. Then comes the flood, survived...

Do not cast small balls of pig excrement before pigs, claiming they are pearls. The pigs know better, and they will laugh at you.

"Things explode every day." (Mrs. Premise, to Mrs. Conclusion, explaining why the penguin on top of the telly exploded, on an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus)

Evidence that dinosaurs and humans co-existed? We know that for a fact, and it's proven by Flintstones cartoons.

Sorry, I may have misread that. It looked like a pretty good example of a Catch-22, anyway. You may be under the misunderstanding that I've never been a Christian. I was, for about a dozen years, and many atheists and skeptics have been as well. The English translations of the Bible are about...

I'm not claiming understanding. All I'm claiming is that I choose not to enter into the covenant. "That's some catch, that Catch-22." (Yossarian, in Joseph Heller's Catch-22) You had me up to the middle part. ;) Go ahead and consider that one of the reasons I choose not to enter the covenant...

Aye - it only takes one white crow to disprove the theory "All crows are black."

If I can present you with a situation from the Bible in which God does NOT do what He says He will do, how would that change your conviction? Hint: there are several such references. And "Let's see the references" isn't a proper answer; note I am asking you how your point of view would be...

Sounds like my wife. [/list]

You do not understand faith. Faith is required to accept a certain proposition in the absense of evidence. Paul characterized it as "the fabric of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen" - when what is required is actual fabric and actual evidence seen. The church, unable to provide...

You forget two small important facts. Genesis 6:9 and Job 1:1 describe two humans (Noah and Job) who were blameless and upright.

[/i][/b]YHWH: "I AM THAT I AM" Popeye: "I am what I am and that's all that I am" Descartes: "I think, therefore I am" Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians: "What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?" Paul Simon: "I am a rock, I am an island"

Dan Barker has a standing challenge which, to my knowledge, has never been answered with anything other than excuses why it can't be answered. "Tell me what happened on Easter. I am not asking for proof. My straightforward request is merely that Christians tell me exactly what happened on...

I would have to say that you are arguing with the wrong person, if the contradiction was observed in an English-language translation. I've got copies of the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, which contain the same contradiction. Your beef would be with the translators of those...
