I am, in fact, a Christian although not a very good one. I do know quite a bit about the Bible, having read it all at some point or another, and I like correcting common misconceptions about the Bible and Christianity. Also, debating with Athiests is a great trolling opportunity.

Heh, I knew a discussion about religion would bring frezal out of hiding.
By the way, God never actually said he hates gay people; he just reeeally doesn't like them having sex.
Yeah, because he can't get any.
You have a point. He hasn't fathered any children for at least 2000 years.

That is also false and basically just made up by the Catholics. God is just fine with heterosexual intercourse for recreational purposes; go read ****ing Song of Solomon. You still gotta be married to do it though.

Nonviolent religions... you must mean Buddhism or Jainism ?
Buddhists have Kung Fu though, so they're nonviolent, but could still kick your ass.

Maybe 123's talking about the Old Testament ? As I remember, God was pretty damn violent (not that there's anything wrong with that) back then.
Every part other than the life of Jesus pretty much. Which includes old Testament and half of the New Testament. To say they are "hateful and violent prone" is really an understatement. Followers who take those parts literally also shown "hateful and violent prone" traits.
As for intuitively immoral, that is based on the harms principle. You can always argue for other forms of moral system, but so far the only argument that came out is "divine will" which actually requires at least heaven and hell to be taken literally.
If you just read the Jesus part, that's not so bad.
Not take the bible literally is the worst attempt to save a religion that claims to know the truth about everything. What the Bible teaches are so hateful, violent prone, and intuitively immoral, that it can only be justify by being the literal truth.
I don't know how anyone can swallow the oppressive teachings without believing in the literal truth of heaven and hell.
There's nothing oppressive or immoral about the Bible. That you would even say such a thing proves that you understand little to nothing about it. And of course it's the literal and absolute truth. To say anything else is preposterous.
To be precise, it doesn't matter what I draw out of it since I neither believe nor follow it. What does matter is the huge among of hates and violence among those who does follows it. They can certainly find passages in the Bible that justify their behaviors.
Yeah, well, I don't really see how you could take heaven and hell figuratively to be honest. Or why you'd want to since heaven is kinda one of the major perks of Christianity. Although, Valhalla sounds pretty neat too. Anything can be used to support your position if you take it out of context enough. Real Christianity is quite possibly the most nonviolent religion on the planet.

Yeah, God's pretty much a total badass in the Old Testament.

But this one isn't about friendship, it's about freedom and free will. My friendship paper did have a mention of Pinkie Pie. I also titled it "Friendship is Magic", which i suppose technically could be considered plagiarism, but I got away with it. It was more of an essay answer to a quiz than a full paper. Hmm, maybe I could link it for you.  Scratch that. It has my real name on it.

Have a random paragraph from my philosophy paper!
Kant’s realization that free will exists as a part of the self, and every action we take is the result of our own choice, is an important one indeed. This fact is absolutely essential for not only the existence of morality, but also for there to be any meaning to our own existence as rational beings. If all thought and action were determined by forces external to us, then what good would reason be at all? One could say that if we do not posses free will, then we do not, in fact possess reason. If humans are rational beings, then free will must exist in some form, and although our actions can be influenced by factors external to us, ultimately, it is our own rational choices that determine them.

If you have to write a paper on free will, you could simply write about ponies, and claim you are exacting your free will. =D
I threw Pinkie Pie into a paper I had to write about friendship! But no, i actually chose the topic for this one myself, then I realized I just suck at writing long papers. I have to use Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche as sources.

Anyway, I'm actually supposed to be writing 12-page paper on free will right now, and I only have 6 pages, so if you guys wanna throw some opinions at me...
Ponies are awesome, and Fluttershy is best pony.
Well sir, that is a very good opinion, but you clearly misspelled Pinkie Pie.

My first question is this:
Why does god not like gay people according to the words of the Bible? He never gives any explanations for it -  , he never gives explanations for ANYTHING
Oh, and logic dictates that god is female.
God never says he dislikes gay people, just that it's a sin to have gay sex.
