I'm not really that much older than you Jik. You are 14 right? Well I'm 16.
Well, I know Manz is older than both of us, but I don't see any devastating arguments that came from him? (This is not meant as an insult). Age really isn't that much of a factor. I became an atheist when I was 15. I just stopped and thought is all. Just for about an hour or so.

He did kill the first borns of egypt, but i have faith that he guided their souls to heaven, as he would the just among the worshipers of other religions.

Is it written in the Bible that god guided their souls to heaven? Is it? At any rate, he has denied them a life for something they never did.Not exactly what I would call benevolent.

Ah, but im relatively certain that those countries all fired the first blow. the isrealites werent like the barbarians of Europe, they didnt go around and rape and pillage. Yaweh only did that to those who wronged his followers; may i remind you that when his followers sinned they had the SEVEREST of punishments also?

So it's like, "Someone raped my sister. Let me go rape his sister back so we'll be even." IS that what you mean by casting the first stone? Whatever happened to mercy and benevolence?
