No argument?
So is this your concession that you have no argument? Because you have quit making any argument.

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.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Christian fundamentalim is abhorrent
Those are in no way analogous. The things you used as examples are destructive behaviors. Guess it shows how you feel about those who do not have your beliefs.
If that were my daughter, I would still love her. Guess your god dude wouldn't.

Re: Christian fundamentalim is abhorrent
Think of Heaven as the next home after this life and think of what a Father would consider when adopting kids. You don't just pick anyone.
As the father of two adopted kids, I find this comment and attitude abhorrent. Do you think adopting is like going to a car dealership and picking out the car that best suits you?
You adopt the child that needs you and that you need. The one at the children's home with disabilities and behavioral issues that has stolen your heart. Or the one that is placed with you as a foster child because his mother is addicted to drugs.
You don't pick the one that you think you can most bend to your will or that will follow your instructions the best.
But I guess good christians like you do not understand something like that.
You offend me. Your religious beliefs offend me.
