CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hate to break it to you, but that's how atheists think. According to their presuppositions God just doesn't sound true. If you want to live in a world where truth is based on what people think "sounds" true, then that is your choice.

No it wasn't.
And using your own logic on that point - you affirm my "no it wasn't" as much as your "yes it was" because in your book we are both just making stuff up.
In my book - you are making stuff up -- and the Bible is the "Word of God"
A. I don't know what you mean by "two flood stories"
B. I think you actually do agree with my statement above - you believe I have the same legitimacy and right to make stuff up - as you do.

Christmas and Easter aren't even found in the Bible, so what does it matter that they are pagan?

Just not in real life.

"Structural preservation of complex biological systems from the subcellular to whole organism level in robust forms, enabling dissection and imaging while preserving 3D context, represents an enduring grand challenge in biology. Here we report a simple immersion method for structurally preserving intact organisms via conformal stabilization within silica. This self-limiting process, which we refer to as silica bioreplication, occurs by condensation of water-soluble silicic acid proximally to biomolecular interfaces throughout the organism. Conformal nanoscopic silicification of all biomolecular features imparts structural rigidity enabling the preservation of shape and nano-to-macroscale dimensional features upon drying to form a biocomposite and further high temperature oxidative calcination to form silica replicas or reductive pyrolysis to form electrically conductive carbon replicas of complete organisms. The simplicity and generalizability of this approach should facilitate efforts in biological preservation and analysis and could enable the development of new classes of biomimetic composite materials."

Yes, blood atonement is a Pagan influence in Judausm as well. In fact it was common among many religions. In the minds of primitive man something of great value must be exchanged to persuade the Gods. Man finds it difficult to swallow his pride and accept forgiveness born of love, experienced by forgiving in return.

That is an interesting story you have made up - but it glosses over a lot of "details" in a free will universe.
Laws that have no real penalty other than "forgiveness" become "no law at all".
Rom 3:31 Paul asks the question as to whether the Gospel does in fact destroy the Law of God by wiping out the penalty - and Paul's answer is "God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the Law of God" Rom 31:31.
The solution that you have "made up" only destroys the Law of the universe - it does not "establish it".
Turns out - God knew what He was doing. But those who simply "make stuff up" are trying their hand at besting God when it comes to His solution and the Gospel - but they will never be able to match Him let alone "best" Him.
