Oh my God, I'm an Atheist !!

Ned made a good point, that somebody else's death is more likely to make us hope for an afterlife. There are plenty of people who have died before me that I would like to see again.However, according to Christian reckoning, most of them are probably in hell. So that's what I should be aiming for, I guess.

You don't need faith to move a mountain. You just need a lot of trips with a wheelbarrow.Leaving it up to God isn't good enough. You have to grab a shovel and dig in and do it yourself.If somebody has the wrong impression about you, that's your responsibility. Stop talking like a bigot and people will stop calling you a bigot. Stop acting like a fundie and people will stop calling you a fundie.Maybe on your deathbed you'll realize that.

It's up to you to make yourself understood. God isn't going to swoop down and do that for you. If you don't want to sound like a bigot, if you don't want to hurt people by sounding like a bigot, it's up to you to figure out what it is you are saying that makes you sound like a bigot.

1. Saying you're for gay marriage "in the state" is like saying you're not prejudiced against black people but you wouldn't want your sister to marry one. It's the exceptions to the rule that are bigotry.
2. You do understand the attraction to women, don't you? So why wouldn't women be attracted to women in the same way you are? It's the attraction (of anybody) to men that doesn't "make sense" isn't it?

The Bible also condemns seafood in the same breath. Stop using the Bible as an excuse. Instead of waiting till you die to learn The Truth™, why not try to learn something now, when it might do some good?

Then why did you even mention that they were gay?What you're saying is the equivalent of, "A bully beat me up and he was wearing green socks but I don't hate green socks because of that. I just don't understand why people wear green socks."Why even mention the socks?Why even mention that somebody is gay if their gayness has no significance?
