That would be nearly 30% of pregnancies being aborted. You really think that's accurate? You got a source on that number or are you just parroting something you heard or saw once?

How about 1 in every 160 US pregnancies being stillborn? Or how about tens of billions of natural miscarriages throughout human existence. If there's a God, then he is by far the most experienced abortionist of all time.

You didn't address the issue of abortion.

I chuckled when I read that one.

I thought to myself, "No way am I gonna pass up making a thread outta this one!"

He's against evolution though, and that's what counts.

Aren't you the one who's always claiming "it's not what we say, it's what we are" when challenged by non-believers? And then here you are supporting someone not for what they say, but what they are.

You're not going to comment on the folks who kill babies at the tune of about 40 million a year are you?

Only to point out that there were not 40 million abortions performed this year or any year.

And what monster would that be? Would it be the same as the monsters who kill the unborn to the tune of about 40 million a year?

Nope. Abortion regardless of its moral status is irrelevant to my point.

I was pointing out that an angel slaughtering children indiscriminately barred only by blood sacrifice sounds like the request for an angel of darkness... yet sent by the good guy.

It's very relevant. You're feigning outrage at the killing of children because it's a bible story, which you don't believe bit on the other hand, you have no outrage at the killing of 40 million babies a year.

As long as you can mock and continue with your anti-Christian rant, you're fine. You're hardly the first person to behave in such a manner.

Seriously not ranting here, I'm not outraged.

For arguments sake, lets say that abortion is a horrific moral evil. Assume I'm evil if it helps you actually address the point.

You think child killing is horrible, then maybe you can think a bit about the child killing angel?

Now can you please describe why the child killing angel doesn't seem to be a horrifying thing of darkness yet sent by God?

FYI, that "child killing angel" was none other than Jesus Christ.

And surely you don't think they were all children, do you?

Not according to the KJV of the Bible it wasn't. The KJV states that it was God Himself.

Exodus 12:12 "For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord"

Exodus 12:23 "For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."

Exodus 12:29 "And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle"

And surely you don't think they were all children, do you?
Do you really think that none of them were children?

Then quote the KJV and let's take a look.

Don't give me that "Lord" stuff.

For instance, you quoted:
Exodus 12:23 "For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."
Whereas the KJV quotes it:
Exodus 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
See the difference?

And before you ask what difference it makes, qv:

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

That was Jesus, being called "the child killing angel."

The only difference I see is that you reformatted your quote to capitalize the entire word "Lord" whereas I didn't. My source does have it in all Caps though (albeit small caps). What difference do you think that makes? Your below comment doesn't answer that question.

The events in Matthew happened a couple of thousand years after the events chronicled in Exodus.

The only person in this thread who called Jesus a "child killing angel" was you.

Honestly wasn't trying to be blasphemous.

But in the text we have the description (title?) of "the destroyer", so I think it's pretty clear that putting on a dark face isn't outside the tool box of God.

The what?

Do you mean that Jesus is a child that kills angels?

Or that he is an angel that kills children?

Are you a follower of the koran?

That's irrelevant to the point being made. But we know by now that you'll use just about every excuse to not address the obvious nonsense and inconsistencies in your beliefs.

So, for the sake of argument, I'll go ahead and say "yes".
