					<description><![CDATA[OK History Punk.  How exactly did Yahweh make this go down?  Last time I checked my Bible and read the biblical mythologists such as &quot;Dr.&quot; Kent Hovind, DarkMatter2525 has got to be pretty close to how it would have happened, if it wasn&#039;t just a freaking Bronze Age myth.

&quot;Now go **** your sister&quot; LOL!

					<description><![CDATA[There are a few points about the exodus story that I find interesting.  Yahweh tells the hebrews to tell the Pharoah that they just want to go into the desert to offer sacrifice but they&#039;ll be right back (pinky swear!). Then he tells them that they should &quot;borrow&quot; valuable jewelry from the Egyptians, promising to return it the next day (I don&#039;t remember if this was a pinky swear).  
So this yahweh guy, after his whimsical plagues, tells the hebrews to lie and steal.  What a god!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why not just use magic to kill all the bad people?

There is a similar stupidity in Exodus, but an order of magnitude stupider.

Pharoah is mean to the Jews, so God sets a plague on Egypt, punishing the Egyptians and Jews alike, but not Pharoah, who is filthy rich. But Pharoah cannot learn the lesson because God hardens his heart and won&#039;t let him change his mind. So then God sends a second plague, same result. Obviously God is his own worst enemy. This goes on for eight more plagues and nobody has learned a thing. Finally, God softens Pharoah&#039;s heart, allowing him to change his mind and quit being such a meanie.

Ahem. Why not kick Pharoah&#039;s ass, soften his heart, and let him learn?

No, God doesn&#039;t work that way. God engineers into his plan the perfect thing to defeat his plan. That&#039;s how God rolls.]]></description>

an interpretation.&quot;

Since when has that ever stopped anyone anywhere from using the bible to justify what ever it is they want?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I liked this video.  Of course he&#039;s in error about the air being cold and thin; the extra water would push the atmosphere up.  But overall, great job!  (You should check out his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvth8SquUIc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;video revealing why Yahweh is a homophobe&lt;/a&gt;.  It starts out slow, but really gets good.)]]></description>
