		<description>Jason, I speak only for myself here but I have found that the bible can contain some useful advice.  Winking not withstanding I&#039;m happy to take good advice and discard poor advice wherever I find it.  Atheists like me won&#039;t deny that &quot;The Good Book&quot; has it&#039;s pluses or that it has some monstrous negatives.  

We are free to pick and choose whatever works for us.  It doesn&#039;t matter if that is the Sermon on the Mount (Christianity), the Eightfold Path (Buddhism), whole chunks of Jainism, underwear advice in Mormonism or the anti-war message in Lord of the Rings.  We are free to choose and don&#039;t feel any need to take the bad along with the good.

In addition we are free to laugh at the silly stuff (wink wink) that the holy books pass off as revealed wisdom.  We can even use it to make fun of those who promote a literal reading of these holy books.

Were you expecting atheists to hate the bible and refuse to touch it?  If so then you&#039;re getting us mixed up with vampires.</description>

		<description>Felicia is correct - I said &quot;inane&quot;, not &quot;insane&quot;.

If they&#039;re attempts at humor, then they &lt;em&gt;are &lt;/em&gt;horrible. Basically, &quot;You&#039;re all going to hell! Heh heh!&quot; 

As far as being &quot;slow to speak&quot; is concerned - what precisely is it you&#039;re trying to accomplish here? Do you think these drive-by comments are of any value? Do you honestly think that anyone here comes away thinking, &quot;My God, he&#039;s right! I&#039;d better straighten out my act so I won&#039;t go to hell for eternity!&quot;? Or are you merely trying to satisfy a morbid curiosity?</description>

		<description>Jason: Look up the word &quot;inane&quot;. :) And &lt;em&gt;my&lt;/em&gt; answer, if you substitute &quot;insane&quot; for &quot;inane&quot;, would be A. Can you seriously not see the problem with someone claiming to believe in the bible as a source of morals (as I assume Palin does) and yet ignoring the parts telling us how we should be acting?</description>

		<description>Cipher:

Moment of truth...

What do you find more &quot;insane&quot;:

A.  My  comments
B.  My horrible attempts at humor
C.  My lack of &#039;comments&#039; on this website
D.  All of the above

Thanks for taking notice of my attendance at FriendlyAtheist.com.  I&#039;ll have you know that I&#039;m simply practicing good biblical discipline while I&#039;m here by being &#039;quick to listen&#039; and &#039;slow to speak&#039;.  Thanks for helping me stay true to the Word!


Blessings,

Jason</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Unless she took option B and shaved her head and then wore a wig over it… &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t laugh - ultra-Orthodox Jewish women actually do this. Don&#039;t even get me started.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;She can’t be a real Christian.

“Women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.” — 1 Timothy 2:9&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Rest - and I certainly didn&#039;t see a head-covering on her in that footage from her church.  Unless she took option B and shaved her head and then wore a wig over it... maybe that&#039;s sort of obeying both choices!  A shaven head with a wig covering!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Very Cool. A bible-believing Atheist…I wonder what that same atheist would say about Psalm 14:1…

   &lt;em&gt; “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”&lt;/em&gt;

Gosh darnit Joe, that bible verse just isn’t as funny, now is it?&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Does it bother anyone else that these God Talk Radio guys show up every once in a while to make an inane comment that only they find humorous? The last one I remember was when we were trying to come up with reasons &lt;em&gt;not &lt;/em&gt;to believe in evolution, and one of them said, &quot;Because if you believe it, you&#039;ll go to hell!&quot;
