Hey atheists, if God doesn't exist... (update: lots of atheists getting pwnt itt)

[CallMeJoe]

How come the English alphabet has 26 letters, and these 26 are precisely the letters needed to write the King James Bible, no more, no less? Sounds like God is talking to you.

At the time the King James version was first translated, the English alphabet effectively had only 24 letters, since most scribes did not differentiate between I and J or between U and V.

Iesvs loves you...

Wizardry

Yes, a wizard did it.

 

[Malak]

Yeah...uh-huh...sure it is...

OR, could it just be a way to control the "unwashed masses" of superstitious, uneducated peasants once upon a time...that for whatever reason, has carried forward into modern times?

I'm not going to argue that the bible was written by men, that would just be silly. And it certainly isn't the word of God, even the bible says that. But there is a huge flaw in your argument here. The catholic church certainly proved time and again they wanted to control things, but they also did so without the use of the bible. They wouldn't even let it be translated into English. The sad thing is that now that it is translated, they still don't read it so the catholic church wins.

 

[Malak]

Well I'm stumped. Now which of the 30,000 sects of Christianity should I join?

You shouldn't join a single one. Trust in God, not man.

Letters are irrelevant for translation. There are a lot of words missing in the English language, however, when it comes to translation.

The Church refused to allow the bible to be translated and maintained the Latin Mass specifically so that the Church hierarchy could control the religion by denying the public direct access to (and knowledge of) Scripture.

God wouldn't allow it.

Exactly my point. The scripture would actually undue them. That is how the protestant movement got started.

Nope. The English translation is the only credible version.

This horseshit again? Pre-printing press bibles were expensive and rare because they had to be hand copied just as all pre-printing press books were rare and expensive. The masses couldn't read so what good was it going to do to let them get their dung covered mitts on a rare and expensive bible they couldn't read anyway? Hell, lots of priests were illiterate as well. The printing press changed everything not the Reformation.

 

[Malak]

No, he doesn't believe the English translation is the only credible. He believes the KJV translation is the only credible. I've had a run in with those people before, they are completely insane. It is so irrational that you want to believe they are just real life trolls. Some of the things they talk about at av1611.com is ridiculous. They are worse than evolution fanatics.

So the whole burning of translators, even already deceased ones, had nothing to do with it? I tell you what, why don't you just sit this one out and let the grown ups talk, ok?

Grownups have no use for gods. Try it sometime. Your link does nothing to invalidate my statement.

Then explain why February is the only perfect 4-week month, and then only three years out of four...

Because god Works In Mysterious Ways!!

 

[SlitheryDee]

God doesn't exist because I get hungry before lunchtime. A decent god would have had the foresight to make the hunger and the time line up properly.

 

[acheron]

If God doesn't exist, then who pushes up the next Kleenex when I take one out of the box?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster works in mysterious ways?

Wait, trust in whom? I'm sorry, I've never met God. Bring him over for beer and we'll talk so I can see whether he's trustworthy or not.

Obviously, that would be Satan. He lures us in with softness, just like how delicious that apple must have been for Eve.
God made us, and thus made our immune system. Illness is just another trap, some kind of magical hex from Satan, to get us to use his devilishly-soft tissue paper.

 

[Nik]

Yes, god made our immune systems, then he made AIDS cuz he was bored or something. Good thinkin, christians.

Don't forget to add in immunization. That's also the work of Satan. As you say, we have immune systems. Thus we don't need immunized since our immune system works.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Then why is His name capitalized?

pwnt :thumbsup:

update:

New question for all of the atheists.

If God doesn't exist, then why is there exactly 60 seconds in one minute and 60 minutes in one hour? Evolution? lol. Such a "coincidence" could only be the sign of an intelligent creator.

lol ok wait... what?

is he kidding? i think he's kidding...
