It's almost like watching the violins, cellos, and basses gang up on the violas. Haha, silly violas.

Not really. He is one of the biggest influences on the founding of American government, with the constitution and all that jazz. I can understand why the exception was made there.

I like our presidents better. I mean those are colorful and cool looking, but it's an honor to the presidents that really made a difference.

At the same time, I don't think it's all the school systems fault. Not all of the kids are focused only on grades. There are those that like learning. Which is a good set up for college, because most people aren't going to pick a degree they loathe if they're paying for it. They'll want to be there and learning, not just making the grade.

The pegs are wrong for a cello. Cellos have the same pegs as a violin or viola. Only a bass has pegs like that

It's not that it isn't true, such as the Old Testament. It's just that the New Testament gives us a new set of laws to live by. Not exactly more lenient, but different. My pastor calls them the "Laws of Love."

That's kind of how Disney movies work, really. I call it 'The Productivity Song'. Simba grew up and stopped giving any fucks, China's army was trained in the course of one song, Elsa builds a bad-ass castle, and so on and so forth.

is that we are no better than them. We are no better than the adulterers. We're no better than the thieves. We're no better than the murderers. We're just as bad as them. The only difference between us is that we've asked God to forgive us. To attempt to guide us down a better path.
We're sinners. That's all there is to it. But you can't lump us all into the category of rude, uncaring bigots.

I also agree with guestt. You are being rather hypocritical. I assume guestt is a Christian, and I myself am one if you haven't guessed. You've been very adamant in your claims against us. Really, I don't mind. I enjoy the debate. I like being able to need to work for my answers because it helps me prepare to witness to others. But we're not bigots, at least, not in the way I think you mean the term. For example, I don't hate gays for being gay. I have gay friends. I don't necessarily support the lifestyle, but I love them all the same. Yes, Christianity tells us not to judge. But of course we do. I judge this boy in my university classes because he's obnoxious. The point is, we're not supposed to, but we do. It's a sin. And it's unfortunately a rather hard sin to stop. We attempt to live up to our standards, but the whole point is that we can't. We can't be perfect. We can't fulfill every law that Christ wants us too. Try as we might. The entire point behind the religion

believe that Earth sat on the back of a large animal. Hebrews 11:3 says that “Creation made of invisible elements”. Most would assume that this referred to atoms. Old science was rather ignorant on the subject. Levitius 17:11 “Blood is the source of life and health”. Old medical sciences drew blood from sick people, believing this would suck out the disease. Leaches, for example, were used quite often. Light moves. Air has weight. These are all addressed in the Bible.
Anyways, I wanted to comment on your reply to guestt.
“Only in countries where Christians are the minority, which is irrelevant here.”
In terms of being killed, yes. I suppose that's true. But not completely. In America, many Christians are ostracized for their faith. Because people believe they are outdated in their beliefs. That they're uneducated and stupid for believing in a God. We get a bad rep from people like the Westboro Church, but we're not all like that, I promise.

Anyways, the book is 2000-3000 years old. Most scholars agree that Matthew, the beginning of the new testament, was written in 60 A.D. Compared to today, that's already just under 2000 years. But Old Testament books would have to be older. Isaiah, for example, began his ministry in about 740 B.C. The book is estimated to be written in 680 B.C. At the latest. The Torah (first five books) would have all been authored by Moses. Granted, we don't know the exact date, but it was believe to be around 1445 B.C. At the latest. It's an old book. You can't deny that. Well, you can I guess, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an old book.
Other examples. Bear in mind that these do not refer to modern science. These really old verses and books are pointing out modern science, where beginning science was wrong. Jeremiah 33:22 states there are an incalculable number of stars. Old science said that there were only 1100 stars. Job 26:7 states “free float of Earth in Space”. Old science
