Hating evil is a good thing.

I am sure I can find plenty of things and names that add up to 666. 666? Bah! How do we know it wasn't 6 raised to the 6th power, and that raised to the 6th power? That would be something like 1.0314428. Now that would that be a really beastly number! If you want to think a lot smaller, there's 999. That's a beast who works out with weights. Or 333. A mere baby beast. I guess you could also call that a mini-beast. The point is that numerology is silly, as you can make it do most anything you want, and attribute to the various permutations almost anything you want. All without the least bit of evidence.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?--Robert A. Heinlein It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers

Yet, hate is evil, so by hating evil, you become that which you hate.
How ironic.

Hate is evil, huh. Sounds like something a Jesuit must have invented.
Sorry, if you don't hate the right things you can't love the right things either.

LOl and of course you address nothing posted.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

OK I was wrong that the Koran doesn't speak as if from God, apparently it does and is pretty much nothing but orders and instructions. That's not true either. I'd recommend that you read it before you talk about it --- only you're very gullible, and you'd be even more insufferable if you were a Muslim.
What God told Moses to do is not the same thing as telling the reader to do it as the Koran does but of course all the liars who hate God like to pretend it is. This sentence is hard to decode. According to the passage I quoted, your God says that the penalty for blasphemy shall be death by stoning. Is this moral or not?

Clever of you, just invent a name and put it in bogus Latinized English so you can count its Roman numerals, and consider it equivalent to an actual Latin title that happens to mean Antichrist and you've proved the Pope is not the Antichrist. Good for you. Those who like to be deceived know how to do a very good job of it. When you have your audience with him so he can thank you for your service to the cause, will you kiss his ring or his satin slipper? Or is it velvet, can't remember. If you are trying to pretend that I feel any affection towards the Church of Rome ... well, this wouldn't be the first time I've advised you to try being a little more honest.

The question was whether it is the same thing the Koran does and it is not.
And the Koran IS predominantly a bunch of instructions, do this and do that.

Your perfectly evil devious excuse for an answer to me with that Barney stupidity should get you well thanked by the Pope. Who cares what you believe, he'll want to thank you.

LOl and of course you address nothing posted. Why should I address the usual nasty lies you tell about me? As for Jerome, who cares, 666 is well attested by the best. Why should evidence be needed for something that is so patently clearly obviously a title of the Pope and no other, that is affirmed by him and the whole Roman monstrosity?

Without him your bible as you know it would not exist. Show me the original texts that show 666. Make an argument other than a bald face assertion.
Why should evidence be needed for something that is so patently clearly obviously a title of the Pope and no other, that is affirmed by him and the whole Roman monstrosity?
Because assertions with no evidence are as worthless as all the other shit and hate you spew. Nowhere has this title been affirmed by any Pope or the Roman Catholic Church. If it had you would be providing evidence. Your hate consumes you so that you have no ability to reason.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

And for those who need reminding what "the right things" are ... "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sistersyes, even their own lifesuch a person cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

And the Koran IS predominantly a bunch of instructions, do this and do that. Well, that's an improvement on "pretty much nothing but".

Indeed that is one of the right things.

It's interesting to learn what you consider "perfectly evil". But now perhaps you'd like to get back to defending slavery and genocide?
