1. Two billion people in the world are praying for a war to bring back Jesus.

Good thing prayers are meaningless, but the number of people wanting it to happen is appalling.

2. Praying for an imaginary 2000 year old Jewish zombie...

..to come back to life so 144,000 people can be whisked off to heaven while the rest of the 8 billion burn to death.

What a fucking stupid thing to want.

3. I have posted this story before but I think it is funny.

Once while standing in check-out line in a store the guy in front had on a cap with the word “bible” on the back. I was curious what was on the front and he noticed me looking around to see it. He turned and said, “Have you found Jesus?” Without thinking I said, “I didn’t know he was lost.” He was an older guy and looked a little surprised and the two teenagers behind me snickered. I added,” When was he last seen?” The teens laughed out loud and the old guy looked confused and turned away.

4. LOL!!

"When was he last seen?"

In my estimation: NEVER. As in he never existed. It's all BS.

But if he did exist, he sure as shit wasn't a white, blue-eyed blonde as depicted by Christianity starting in the 12th century.

5. The bible is a lie.

One time the Jehoval Witness came knocking on my door offering a flyer and a line about salvation through Jesus Christ, I looked at the flyer and said, "you show me a picture of a white, blue eyed, blonde Jesus and expect me to believe anything you say."

6. I always maintained they spelt it wrong....

It should be "Buy Bull".

[spike jones]

9. There is a reason the rulings from the Pope are called Bulls. .

7. There are are not 2 billion Evangelicals in the world.

But, then, what difference do facts make when you have a personal ax to grind?

[spike jones]

8. Forty percent of the world's conflicts since 1956 have been about religious differences.

[AZ8theist]

10. "Personal axe to grind??"

Sounds like you're the one with a problem.

No where did the OP mention "Evangelicals".

But yeah, go ahead and misquote him cuz that's ok.

11. I think both Christians and Muslins belive in a war at the "end."
