Satan Kitty feels left out.

They have 2850 gods and goddesses in their database and their list is nowhere even near complete.

Just imagine even the most fundamental monotheist will agree with an atheist on the non-existence of 2849 of those deities. The tiny subset of known gods that they disagree about is almost not worth talking about.

\Anyone dare to place a Pascal's wager?

That's because Hera was cranky.

/Olimpus: Psychology before Freud.

ZEUS is married to the long-suffering HERA, but spends most of his time lusting after Goddesses, mortals, animals, and indeed anything that will keep still long enough.

Maybe the name for Viagara should be changed to "Zeus".

headline = lame

WWDD?

What would Dionysus Do?

I normally hate people that whine about headline cliches but this one has got to stop.

He only breeds contempt for what he's trying to preach. Bevets is doing Atheists a favor.

And then you have me, who is completely willing to buy into Areop, the Oceanic spider goddess who peeked inside a massive clam shell when nothing else existed and had it slam on her head, and then had the worm Rigi pry it open with so much effort that he sweated out what is now the world's oceans, and the bottom half of the clam is the Earth covered in Rigi sweat and the top half is the sky, If that turns out to be what actually happened.

In all likelihood, it's grade-A horseshiat. But what the heck. Why not. Now if all this frozen congealed sweat on my lawn will just melt.

Got hates oysters as much as he hates fags.

about the verses you've posted to justify Christianity:

Records of Jesus existance and ministry aren't only in the Bible, they can be verified via hundreds of ancient manuscripts. Only difference is, That more than 7/8 of them cite Jesus as a God-send Prophet and not God himself. The 1/8 were mostly commonly distributed in ministries and was popularised as the authentic version. Many scholars consider that these were altered versions distorting the faith in a supreme being who is All Knowing ala omnipotent. This was done by those who were predestined for eternity in Hell, the misguided, lead by the whispers of Satan. Every people were sent a prophet of their times to correct their (not forcefully convince or threathen) faith away from idols and other manifestions that they worshipped. And each prophet was given a miracle through to prove to the people that he was indeed God sent. Jesus was sent to Nazareth with the ability with many mirales, the outstanding one was the ability to heal people and raise the dead amongst the living again (by will of God). This miracle was given to him in a time where doctors would boast about their then breakthroughs in treating the sick and use it to exploit people.

When baby Jesus spoke for the time to the people who accused Mary of fornication, she pointed to the baby and said he by the grace of the Almighty (along the lines of:) "I am a slave of the Almighty. He will reveal the Book to me and make me a prophet. He blessed me wherever I am. In the rules revealed to me there will be a special attention given to Prayers and Alm. Lord predestined that I will be kind to my mother and not a tyrant with a bad ending.
Peace was on me the day I was born. Peace will be on me on the day I will die and on the day I am raised alive again"

Wow...it's been so long since Bevets showed up to rain bible quotes on us...LOL

From the site:

Bevets!

Some one pull the card?? Whoa haven't seen you in a thread in a long while...

\Flame on
\\For sure

Hecate is damn fine.

Kali is a total biatch.


Hindu gods are strangely missing from the website.

I'm disappointed that there is no entry for Jeff, the God of Biscuits.

Single Malt for Dionysus. Jesus, too if he can pay the bill. Damn Hippie.

Your daughter is a Vorta?

That is some seriously obscure Star Trek trivia there. I promise that I didn't mean to name her after a DS9 character. I'm dorky, but not that dorky.

I love M:TG cards made after Farkers.

One day, when I grow up, I hope to have my own.

Sadly John Frum is not on the site. Neither is the Duke of Edinburgh.

Nor is there an entry for Simon, the god of hairdos.

Oh yeah! One to rule them all: "SILENUS: God of Beer Buddies and Drinking Companions. He's fat, bald, hairy and drunk."

OK, I'm sure this discussion is long since dead, but I would just like to announce to the world that the Bevets post in this thread, and the accompanying link to his website, has finally confirmed, in my mind, that Bevets is an elaborate hoax. That is all.

"This was celebrated with piph-ups known as epiphanies."

What's a "piph-up"?

Benten or bust, baby.

KlumTheFark: Records of Jesus existance and ministry aren't only in the Bible, they can be verified via hundreds of ancient manuscripts.

Could you do me a favour and cite, maybe, ten?

KNW: The Greek gods were so much cooler. When's the last time Yahweh came down and threw it into anything?

Where do you think Jesus came from?

A Vagina.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ~ Philip Dick

And that's the really special thing about gods. When you stop believing in them, they all go away. Which is, of course, the point of Mr. Dick's quote.

It's their followers that remain to plague the earth for a time.

I dunno.

The Native American Pantheon is missing the gods Budweiser, Hemi and Jenna Jameson....amongst others.

Dear Bevets:
I wonder if you could tell me your thoughts on the following... If a child is starving to death in Africa and watches his family die in front of him, he has never heard of Jesus, when he dies does he go to hell? If all those who died in the most horrific manner in Rwanda were not "saved" would God have them go to Hell, even though they had experinced it here on Earth? If so, is that just or all loving. Isn't there a verse in the Gospel in which Jesus died for everyone's sins? Please don't get tied up in scripture in your reply I just want your heartfelt answer.

At first, I was happy to see Bevets make a triumphant return. But then someone pulled the Bevets card. Oh god, this day cant get any better. HOORAY BEVETS!

Us old farkers know.

The important thing to remember about Bevets...

His devout belief has shown him that evolution is a myth.

So you know his faith must be right when it comes to salvation-- right?

cerebulon13: Hecate is damn fine.

My god, who draws that stuff?

I used to get so embarrassed by my D&D books when I was a kid, because all of the pictures inside were like that (sans nipple). Contrary to what the good folks at TSR may have wanted everyone to think, not every D&D player punches it out to explicit illustrations.

Bevets: Suppose a man is starving. Neighbor A is Bill Gates. Neighbor B has $5. Should Neighbor B buy the starving man a meal?

Not only did this not come close to answering trev29's question, but it made no sense either.

Nice job champ.

Bevets:
Answer my question first. Yes neighbor b should buy the meal. If he or she is a moral person. What difference does it make as long as somone feeds the starving person.
I know that my question makes people uncomfortable , and I don't mean any disrespect in asking it, I am just looking for an answer.
Your link does not provide an answer. I guess I'm looking for a simpler answer, do these people go to hell or not.

If God is all powerful then he is beyond good and evil. He must have both of those elements or he is limited.

I have a devout Christian friend who has told me that as I have sincerely asked Christ to forgive my total and absolute lack of belief in him and its consequent effects, that I get in...

Personally, I suspect this would just get me sent to the level of hell with the lawyers, but I'm happy for the good thoughts.

/happy to take forgiveness from anybody for anything.
//and seriously... thanks to anybody who sincerely prays for me.

About par for the course. (For Bevets and deities in general.)

Dievas ftw!

/And special mention of Baba-Yaga
// who remembers Baba-Yaga's hut from D&D?

The fact of the matter is, that too many know the book written by men about God, but make no attempt to know God himself. There are no children in Hell. Only those who have rejected God. This may fly in the face of much church doctrine, but it is true.

I try to follow God, and sadly have little use for many of the churches.
