There is only one meaning of life (now that we have the existence of souls, telepathy and other phenomena)! It is to "return" to God/Allah/Yahweh (or any other "white-list" Deity) according to the innermost meaning of the Bible (or of the other valid Holy Books)! This is that special Deity domain where one is given the Deity perspective of all that exists.
That some people find a "limited" outside the "white-list" religion Deity means only that they are wrong! They are measurably smaller people in terms of (Kantian) Ethics and Morality given bodily measurements of metabolism and the nervous system by electrometer or other, etc.
So I say that to be a kind of fully Kantian Ethical and Moral human being entails as necessity to be a follower of "white-list" religion and corresponding Deity.
I expect the science to match up with religious views in near future as one may more safely and demonstrably enjoy Out-of-Body Experiences and to have fun with the destruction of the body well knowing that one can also reincarnate if one so pleases!
Religion by this defeats Atheism, probably forever. This is the story of arguments of "6+1" that has first become arranged together in bringing this unbeatable Ecumenical Religious view to the World.
I can surely say from a logical point of View (also with association to Quine) that Religion is the most sensible in the 21st century, as for defence, it is grounded on this:
* The Privacy Argument.
- nothing new from the Atheists.
General, deductive outline:
Privacy holds the best judgment that makes the Bible/God more appealing
Privacy holds the best judgment
The Bible/God is more appealing
Types of logic for all of these except NDNID: Sentential
System: mFitch (Fitch with line above the conclusion)
Universe of Discourse (UoD): Everything

G: The Bible/God is more appealing
1 | P
2 | P ⊃ G
0 |-------------
3 | P 1 R
0 |-------------
4 | G 2, 3 ⊃E
* The Rejection of the Cardinal Sins.
- that the sinful life seems repulsive and that religious ponderings seem much more engaging. With Se7en-movie backing this up as description.
General, deductive outline:
The life from the Cardinal Sins seems repulsive and that as the Bible makes the case for the other life God becomes more appealing
The life from the Cardinal Sins seems repulsive
The Bible makes the case for the other life, God becomes more appealing
Types of logic for all of these except NDNID: Sentential
System: mFitch (Fitch with line above the conclusion)

1 | S
2 | S ⊃ G

3 | S 1 R
0 |-------------
4 | G 2, 3 ⊃E
It is noted that the argument can hold another logical line in splitting G into two parts, invoking 2 more lines of logical notation, but essentially the argument stays the same.
* Non-Dogmatic New Intelligent Design.
- that NDNID defends God as possibility and that Atheism fails to prove, also with logical soundness, the impossibility for God.

4. ◊(∃x)(Gy) ⊃E 1, 3
Comment: This is the CONCLUSION of the second element of the foundation (2/4) (and you have your valid logical deduction #2). This interpretation may be complained about, but the words are "when you sit there in heaven, your collateral knowledge/"complete" knowledge is including God, yet you probably lack the possibility for getting to the computer database of (complete) knowledge".
(1) and (2), formally and possibly better to some, 1 and 2 can be combined into the following:
1. □(∀x)(Cx) ⊃ [□(∃x)(Dx) ⊃ ◊(∃y)(Gy)] A (being the 10. line)
2. □(∃x)(Dx) A
3. □(∀x)(Cx) A

6. □(∃x)(Dx) R
------------------------------
7. ◊(∃y)(Gy) 5, 6 ⊃E (Conditional Elimination)
Comment: This is the CONCLUSION of the combined elements of the foundation (1+2/4) (and you have your valid logical deduction). I'd say that this combination hides or obscures the fact that Complete Knowledge can be harder to imagine than a simple and broad Definition of God. Thus, the two simple parts may be better than this combination of these 2 more elementary parts.

1. □(∃x)(Mx) ⊃ ◊(∃y)(Gy) Assumption A
2. □(∃x)(Mx) A

2. □(∃x)(Ex) A
------------------------------
3. □(∃x)(Ex) R - Reiteration of A
------------------------------
4. ◊(∃y)(Gy) ⊃E (1,3)
Comment: This is the CONCLUSION of the third element of the foundation (4/4) (and you have your valid logical deduction #4.
Now you have, all in all, at least 4 valid logical deductions that support the possibility of God (◊(∃x)(Gx)) where most faithists don't care about the possibility and assert the reality/existence of God, straight!
It's worth noting that cognition lies ahead of, obviously, all of these 4 entities leading to a possible God, i.e., ethics, meaning, definition of God and (Complete) Knowledge.
In addition, the anomalies of science suggests a fantastic description for a definition of God! Fx. what would the ancient people think of our time's nuclear bomb? Surely something fantastic! Likewise enters the idea of God as something fantastic far out there in time and in mind.
One remark on the side. In order to use necessity of God, you'll have to write something like this:
[□(∃x)(K) ⊃ ◊(∃x)(G)] ⊃ □(∃x)(G)
That is, if God is affirmed, knowledge contains an existing God, then an existing God is necessarily an existing God. In a definite sense, therefore, God "as idea" threads through the Possible modality to obtain as necessary.
It is noted that as the NDNID holds its own logics, it acts together with the Priest Stories in securing the bottom line, this makes the Religious side the rock solid fortress for Faith in God, ecumenically.
* The ESP-God Debate.
- now that, by telepathy, that we have God by our foreheads and Atheism seems more wrong than ever before, then why Atheism at all? Because the contention has been earlier that if telepathy is "realizable" then (necessarily/more conceivably) God, even by themselves.
General, deductive outline:
If ESP by Telepathy, only, is found to be true, the case for God is more credible.
If ESP by Telepathy, only, is found to be true.
The case for God is more credible.
Types of logic for all of these except NDNID: Sentential

G: The case for God is more credible.
1 | E
2 | E ⊃ G

3 | E 1 R

4 | G 2, 3 ⊃E
It is noted that the "if" standing can here be seen as strong or weak alike. However, depending on who you talk to, in relating to truth whatsoever, we, the Religious, initially do not bother to hold more than the weak "if" rather than the definitely proven case for ESP/Telepathy. This is at least the recommendation.
* The Descartes' Phantom Feelings.
- that if Descartes' description of feelings can be proven then God "more", that once again, the consistent pattern by the amputee's brain proves the Atheists wrong once more and by this fantastic revelation, that God exists also by this notion.
General, deductive outline:
As The Descartes' Feelings are confirmed by science, the case for God is more credible.

* The Van Lommel Studies.
- that Van Lommel by his work has shown that the existence of the soul is a possible description for people's (common) ability to win over death and that, therefore, God "more" yet another time Do we get it up? (Atheists to Mystics and Religions are cool after all?)

* The Fantastic Phenomena or of Freak Nature as Accounts of Reality
The Fantastic Phenomena or of Freak Nature as Accounts of Reality - The Black Swans Outside Dumb People's Livingroom, Their Problem of Induction
We start with another list:
reincarnation "out of thin air or using nearby blood and other"
white giant "golems" "also out of thin air, out to crush evil or punish evil or for evil", good people victims being collateral damage, see giants of "Bhima" in India, seeming skulls of giants from those whereabouts
speedy (or very speedy) regeneration "possibly out of thin air or using available blood or other"
the "ice" in girls' or women's vagina "out of thin air" or the poles that shoot out of the penis of men going to the ground and into the air "also out of thin air"
shapeshifting (of "shapeshifter") or changelinging (of "changeling") to other forms, whether fossils or strange creatures, small or large or very large like giant creatures "in a sense, out of thin air or transforming substances to body of something entirely different"
telepathy "magically transferring thoughts from one person to another"
existence as soul without body or anything flesh and blood, popularly speaking being Near-Death Experience (NDE) or Out-of-body Experience (OBE) "with possibility to move around, think, have cognition, to perceive (colours glaring in a beautiful way), also maintaining memory also from being in the state of soul, whether body is destroyed or not"
phantom feelings "the ability to feel other people's touch or objects with one's soul where one's missing limb is"
deeply immoral people's "black spots" (of despicable actions), some deeply immoral people are so utterly bad that they are treated as special waste in terms of "garbage handling" - this is a secret from the trade of the coroner!
the special secret from the trade notion of the insurance sector as business, of "tainted buildings" by "creepy animal/spectre/phantom" (large or small) making the building unusable
possible accounts of "eggs" which are generated from despicable acts as well, whether "virtual guards" for something or markers for something, I don't really know. Large and small? Various looks? Opened "egg shells" like some flower?
Abominations of dead people that make people fearful or morality struck in some sense, black bodies where they have died that's virtually impossible to remove
Freak nature itself by "severe threats against people of worth and dignity, becoming a monster in the process, extreme phenomena may take place in the World that's outside "normal science" or (what I like to call) "laboratory science", that is, natue is upset and "urgent" with deeply adverse quantum physics in the process for those who do this (include "mystical" rage against the doers of these horrors), disturbing the harmony between nature of people (of dignity, worth, goodness, if not all) See also The Bad People List (you may want to add "Olsnes-Lea" in order to locate it)
List is complete?
Thus, conclusion as ever: That is, so why not God as well, moral sense intact? God must exist! 100% religious World (by "white-list" religions) in 10, 20 or 50 years or so?
I also note the following:
I'm tired of hearing these no-knowledge idiots "managing information" for the sake of keeping people in depression!
I just don't take it anymore! That these morons are supposed to tell us what exists or not "based on what they feel is right!"
(Feel free to omit the lying Atheists who have no definite moral obligation either way because they are not Humanists. Hah-hah-hah!)
The possible 8th point: There's another one too, with similar structure: if some aspects more prove true, in addition to the above, by the "priest stories" then God further... But this is one is for the moment dicy or more dicy than the telepathy argument...
General, deductive outline:
If The Priest Stories confirm miraculous instances of souls and all else, like in Near-Death Experiences then case for God is more credible.
The Priest Stories confirm miraculous instances of souls and all else, like in Near-Death Experiences.
The case for God is more credible.
Types of logic for all of these except NDNID: Sentential
System: mFitch (Fitch with line above the conclusion)

G: The case for God is more credible

2 | P ⊃ G

0 |-------------
4 | G 2, 3 ⊃E
Again, The Priest Stories is subject to a kind of limbo of standing, into how it is supposed to be placed with the rest of the logics above. However, depending on who you talk to, in relating to truth whatsoever, we, the
Religious, just listen to these stories, of troubles with the corrupt minds and what events have brought us in terms of history. This is at least the recommendation.
2 more points for the Religious side:
Also, the religious confidence point must also count in favour for the religious side, although a bit on the side of the arguments playing out.
Another point for the Religious side is that "Atheism" (now reverted (back) to Humanism) is archaic by the Aristotelian "Natural Life Cycle" view. Therefore, all religions can be considered more modern than the view originating from the text of Aristotle. Besides, given the later development on both sides makes this more definite, because the Religious side has developed into the civilised while the "Atheist" has developed negatively despite the order from Aristotle himself to develop society by his text named "Politics" describing exactly the "political animal", well known in the "Atheist" circles, but "maybe not in this sense. There seems to be a "slave"-word in there."
Besides, from the above:
1. Stronger Religion Every Day!
The Atheists have failed to provide
* soul and not-soul alike - soul found, at least to some plausibility.
* phantom feelings and not-phantom feelings - phantom feelings found, crucially by (f)MRI, two alike.
* telepathy and not-telepathy - telepathy found by increased awareness and research, at least more credibly too, also by millions' personal experience, just ask them about feelings and "emotional awareness".
Let's not hear them whine about not-(possible-)-God (not-⋄-G) too because it makes them look awkward.
It is noted that Phantom feelings can be found, also, by voluntary surgery, laying one underarm in the freezer, and confirmed by (f)MRI in a couple of months, perhaps faster without entering the problem of these people who have had a tragic event in their lives and who wish to not be part of research.
2. Religion, Ecumenism and Humanism Together - How They Match.
Ecumenically religious humanism, just in case too much troubles over the details. 3. to yourself.
Ecumenically religious. 2. to yourself.
Then, fx. Christian and Scientologist. 1. to yourself.
That the best version of Humanism belongs equally much to Religious people as the Humanists themselves, insofar as they only supply one type of "life view"/"orientation in life", i.e., not citing any particular religious view, not to say that... the privacy notions...
Ecumenism holds from the encyclopedia:
[( ek -yoo-meh-nishm, i- kyooh -muh-nizuhm)]
"A movement promoting cooperation and better understanding among different religious groups or denominations."
Notes:
1. This work is a summary of my NDNID from my web-pages, from my work through the jr. high school, my contributions to the ESP and God debate by mSomatism and general logical work by these other investigations into arguments and defences for God, like the Privacy Argument.
2. Atheism has lost it's foundation mainly because of "6+1" and the other contributions for defending God and Religions by hearts and minds. Because of this, Atheism has also fallen outside academia in at least one sense because it fails anymore to present intelligent/intellectual opposition.
3. The academic contribution always lies inside truth and civilisation insofar as civilisation proves sustainable under honest discussion. After 2000 years, it probably does either way, after working up various important aspects such as the subjects themselves, ethics, law, political science, science in general, mathematics and medicine. Well, well, you can add the rest, engineering, architecture, so on...

Finally a video presentation to make this whole issue more accessible. I hope you like it:
The Defences for God Explained, myself presenting it
---- Additional text to enter more structurally elegant above, but placed here temporarily to provide reliably quick response, that is, speed is not on us, the Religious, we are not the slow ones:The Dark Energy considerations as "secret" celebration from "Atheism" in proving "not-possible-God" in representing a kind of energy constant by the whole of the Universe, the well-known energy preservation principle also from thermal physics must fall by Karl Popper's two requirements for decent science, i.e., the falsification requirement or the fallibilism requirement or both! That is,
the energy preservation principle over the Universe by WMAP-data, background radiation data -> not-possible God Conclusion: Not-possible God by Modus Ponens
must fall because of Karl Popper's two requirements for decent science, i.e., the falsification requirement or the fallibilism requirement or both!
Either way, a research description that's credible must first be made and they need to show that they have NO corrupt motivations for conducting the research! That is, some other freaks who want to subject the World to freak nature are supposed to be granted a go-ahead because the primary and official researchers for investigating the research think that "it may bring something"!
Freak nature is only one thing: the results of torturing people hideously! 2 more points for the Religious: Also, the religious confidence point must also count in favour for the religious side, although a bit on the side of the arguments playing out.
Another point for the Religious side is that "Atheism" (now reverted (back) to Humanism) is archaic by the Aristotelian "Natural Life Cycle" view.

Now you have, all in all, at least 4 valid logical deductions that support the possibility of God (◊(∃x)(Gx)) where most faithists don't care about the possibility and assert the reality/existence of God, straight!
It's worth noting that cognition lies ahead of, obviously, all of these 4 entities leading to a possible God, i.e., ethics, meaning, definition of God and (Complete) Knowledge.

That is, if God is affirmed, knowledge contains an existing God, then an existing God is necessarily an existing God.
The NDNID part has no "general deductive outline" yet and perhaps you may need to wait until the paper/book! Thank you for the attention.
Their side, Atheism, is continuously weak too: Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins :
"Christians, if you'd been born in Pakistan you'd be Muslim. Muslims, if born in Poland you'd be Catholic. So why so confident in your faith?"
My answer as one possible answer from the religious:
Religion IS cultural. There is no need for the Religious people, especially not the ecumenical, to "postulate" any dominance or superiority
to this country or that. Which part of the Bible is he ranting about now?
Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins :
Why shouldn't Saudi women drive? Driving damages their ovaries and pelvis. http://bit.ly/1fOrsZu Oh I SEE, it's not religion but SCIENCE.
My answer again, Moderate and Modern Christian:
This is cultural as well. Religion and culture isn't always the same. Society "does not comply entirely" with the word of the Holy Books and it has been
like this for a very long time, also expressed in Job's Book of the Old Testament in the Bible.
It's also given that there's good possibility that the virtue of kindness will benefit these women in the future as society develops and society, by this, provides
more optimism, health and good life.
This is one possibility for our side to they "who do not understand".
The Arab countries are still struggling with high unemployment and the general level of development, being "developing", but this has several reasons, see Financial Radicalism/Military Complex of USA, also to Nazi-Germany by "serial-Henry", serial production.
Here's what: science of logic fails to refute possible-God. So if we present a logical proof that says necessary-Ethics proves possible-God and come up possible-God as valid, logical conclusion by Modus Ponens, science in general has nothing to come up with. There are several reasons for this, as much as fission and the atomic bomb has stayed outside the human eye until 1945, God stays outside the scientific human eye FOR NOW. There is not scientific basis for proving God yet or possibly forever because science is in a sense very limited to experiment/discovery, observation/data-set and logic (MT/MP). So with the other science as well, some science is just very hard to come by and with Carnap in my mind, maybe it is so that God just remains to elusive for the human kind to ever put God inside our science. It may not necessarily be a bad thing, but here we are with our progress and this is it... Enjoy 2013.
Life and God
Again, Religion is explained by The Holy Books, life under it or elsewhere, Science explains Reality, Religious people or other, like the Humanists... Science doesn't reach everywhere, it needs to comply with the scientific conventions for conducting exactly science. Alright?
What best describes Reality
Also, the Bible BEST explains Religion and Science, under it or not, explains Science. So here is the Vatican: Pontifical Academy of Sciences by Wikipedia or the Vatican directly, Pontifical Academy of Sciences underwww.Vatican.va . Good?
Atheism is now DEAD!
The expressed reasoning for why Atheism is gone from the universities is this:
The logical foundation, in not anymore being able to object to the "whitelist" Religions:
They have no possibility to logically prove the impossibility of God.
They have failed to be the first to prove the Soul by the Van Lommel studies, to prove the Descartes' Phantom Feelings by fMRI, to prove the statistical existence of telepathy as the human direct perception in everyday life of Quantum Mechanics, seriously, i.e., they are scientifically inferior or, worse, scientifically dishonest, maybe pathologically so too!
They do not bother to display seriousness toward leadership by taking on Humanist Values, being serious to ethics.
These charges are serious against Atheism and will evidently be their bane too, whether "Positive Atheism", Atheism as private view of life, or "Negative Atheism", Atheism as (valid) objection to the Religions!
End note for them: they comply (only) with archaic Aristotelian "Natural Life Cycle", i.e., one type of Naturalism as "Life Philosophy" and in doing so fail the future opportunities for being credible leaders because they say explicitly that they are NOT Humanists which includes to be serious about ethics and human-to-human and human-to-nature interactions!
Even still, the Atheists need to realise that Humanism remains the only viable strategy for them and turn to it as soon as possible or face ridicule!
Final statement from myself, Olsnes-Lea (accountable)!
The university duties for ethical leadership GO DEEP! Understand this, please, of find yourself OUT!
Adding a 4th point against Atheism:
That the "evil" on Planet Earth can be explained and therefore that "some stupidity" by the people at this time, Humanity on Planet Earth before 1950 CE needs to accept a kind of stupidity-guilt for "allowing" this to happen.
This removes some of the charges of "evil" in "evil" being a part of human nature, deeper than the Bible because people can definitely be stupid/opportunistic!
"Perhaps then, not malice-bound like that!"
Our side, the Religious need to stand on the view that Christianity and the other Religious convictions go deeper in human beings than the malicious mind, that mostly people want to go to Heaven (by Christianity, other for the others), to be of a good nature to one another.
Final claim by this: stupidity is to blame for some (perception of) "evil" in the World, that the Religious life is the deepest in humanity and that these Religious views are the winners, almost by postulate, either in being in humanity now or that the last Religious people have left life for the Maker of the Universe, the Grand Architect, God etc., so as to equate these Religious views with the standing of Mathematics in the Universe. One can burn the mathematics books, but mathematics is bigger than every human being's nose and lives on in the Universe in being TRUE! (Also see the (social) invalidators of Math by Social Power! Pokemon total power?!)
Just to mention some motivational, under Human Beings as God's Miracle:
The Dark Energy considerations as "secret" celebration from "Atheism" in proving "not-possible-God" in representing a kind of energy constant by the whole of the Universe, the well-known energy preservation principle also from thermal physics must fall by Karl Popper's two requirements for decent science, i.e., the falsification requirement or the fallibilism requirement or both!
That is,
the energy preservation principle over the Universe by WMAP-data, background radiation data -> not-possible God Conclusion: Not-possible God by Modus Ponens
must fall because of Karl Popper's two requirements for decent science, i.e., the falsification requirement or the fallibilism requirement or both!
Either way, a research description that's credible must first be made and they need to show that they have NO corrupt motivations for conducting the research! That is, some other freaks who want to subject the World to freak nature are supposed to be granted a go-ahead because the primary and official researchers for investigating the research think that "it may bring something"!
Freak nature is only one thing: the results of torturing people hideously!
Also, the religious confidence point must also count in favour for the religious side, although a bit on the side of the arguments playing out.
Another point for the Religious side is that "Atheism" (now reverted (back) to Humanism) is archaic by the Aristotelian "Natural Life Cycle" view. Therefore, all religions can be considered more modern than the view originating from the text of Aristotle. Besides, given the later development on both sides makes this more definite, because the Religious side has developed into the civilised while the "Atheist" has developed negatively despite the order from Aristotle himself to develop society by his text named "Politics" describing exactly the "political animal", well known in the "Atheist" circles, but "maybe not in this sense. There seems to be a "slave"-word in there."
Summary: 2 points more on the Religious side. 1 point pro-"Atheism" refuted or not foreseeably successful (by far).
A slight sub-point more, as we turn to the Bible anew, by its storytelling nature, thus yielding a new approach and increasing the appeal and confidence of Religious people "ten-folds":
The Defences are no less strengthening to the Religious people and appealing to those outside of it by this, also with the "powerlist" of Philosophers:
(Sorry for not being entirely forthcoming on one aspect or more of our great strengths together.)
There's some additional info to various Religions, by Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism and others, for the ecumenical, depending...:
The Heaven entailment, of NDNID, clearly needs rephrasing, but represents no problem with any Reincarnation religion, like in Hinduism, by adding a solution that says "a kind of crossroads before being reincarnated or reaching Nirvana with the preceding psychological confidence too", that this must be the reality of this Religion "in question", i.e., by name of Religion, or /this/ Religion to use the demonstrative.
Additionally: The ecumenical miracle, coming with the "Best wishes for all (who are Religious),", "Ecumenism for All - The World Communion of Religiousness", Some premises that makes this happen, few or many:
1. One is generous about the social issues, some people have troubles living in poor India and so on.
2. One skip some detalis such as kosher kitchen and halal meet and stay with core ethics (of Humanism) and preserve the understanding of grandness that's nicely entailed in all these religions, God as creator of all in the Universe, poss. of Nirvana, a good nod to reincarnation, the rest that's impossible to prove and most certainly not worthy to kill for or go harms way over.
3. One is open about one's own religion and displays openness the other way to, to learn other people's religions, not necessarily to shun one's own or try to be dominating, but merely to listen in and willing to peacefully impart from one's own Holy Book, whether the Bible, Torah, Quran or the others.
We have now entered World Communion of Religiousness forever and with emotional awareness ("telepathy" to be cautious) this is just the best glitz EVER! :-D :-D 8-) 8-)
"Atheism" Killed More
By "Avicenna"
in promoting "Atheism"/(their) Atheism, as he writes:
"We don't have a moral high ground. The moral high ground that religious people claim to hold doesn't exist because in order to have a moral high ground you need to demonstrate that your ethos is the path of least harm."
First, we, the Religious recognise that we've been admitted the moral high ground straight. Certainly, by understanding laws and regulations in practice, we understand what it takes to provide leadership in terms of responsibility. They can't provide moral leadership because they fail morality to start with.
Second, we expect nothing different from them, in them saying "no harm to my Atheist body, but that I'm more than willing to commit anything you want if I can get out of this, unharmed", that I consider to be their possible attack on all of humanity/human kind. Because if we combine failure to express morality in the first place and then they say that they comply to all that makes them unharmed, unknown how this entire/coherent story of theirs unfold, this makes for a very dangerous kind of "agency"/life philosophy because they are then susceptible to behave in numerous, unreliable ways. Indeed, they have unfriended themselves from humanity.
(Third, what if the Atheist meets the Atheist, will we then have the two people fighting one-another so as to go unharmed in a modern day equivalent to dog-fights that are illegal to start, also by moral leadership?)
One charge against (irresponsible, not having changed their archaic Aristotle description the last 2300 years) "Atheism":
There is no God → Human beings are animals (tenet no. 2) → When people are animals why not "a bit", like in Carnivorism? → Life is then life and money must be life because then you can do more? → How is Ethics in all of this? That I can have life with money, but Ethics... No, money is life. → If now death can't be perceived as anything else than "blackness", why not...? → That Ethics... No Ethics? I got it! → No Ethics, no society? This must be logical. Also by late Freudian-Carnivore-Psychologists!
"I am not logical?", the "Atheist" asks!
Here we are! The challenges are definitely alive. Humanism now? You see it too?

Words of character, lately:
Pastor John Hagee:
"The Bible says: “The fool hath said in his heart ‘There is no God’.” Atheists say there is no God. Let me tell you that atheism has never painted a masterpiece. Atheism has never dispelled fear. Atheism has never healed a disease; faith in God has, but not atheism. Atheism has never given anyone piece of mind. Atheism has never dried a tear. Atheism has never given an intellectual answer to the creation. Atheism is bankrupt and empty; it’s brain dead."
"It is believed that when people stop believing in God, they believe nothing. That’s wrong. When people no longer believe in God, they will believe in anything. That’s why they start hugging trees. That’s why they start staring into crystals, joining cults, running into the woods, ripping off their shirts, baying at the moon, "because it’s something intellectual [not really, they are atheists] people do when they get frustrated"."
PS: Restraining liking. That is, I'm not "extreme". I consider myself Liberal Christian, by Modern, Moderate Christian. I think the public church has to comply with the Human Rights of UDHR or go private, that is, to become a private (club) congregation inside the privacy laws, but strictly still, inside laws and regulations (of USA or other), commonplace.

More to the Team:
True Reason: Christian Responses to the Challenge of Atheism
"Atheism has never given anyone "piece"/peace of mind." in the sense that piece here means that Religion adds to intelligence because it cares for humanity, for human values, of the true education and therefore, in the most true sense, it adds to intelligence to the degree one is able to live with the Bible and practice the 10 Commandments, supported by the 7 Cardinal Sins on one's way to Heaven/Reincarnation.
To be Religious is to be intelligent in all aspects is the message for the Religious! Also from Pastor John Hagee.

More too, questions. What is it with "Atheism" and cultist activities, voodoo, experimentation with drugs, drugs as life-style, E.T.-life-style, "suspended over all of humanity", deeply fascinated with insects and how they ATTACK, and E. O. Wilson and Sociobiology and love camps in declaring the best Conan, the Barbarian there? What is it with "Atheism" and blackness and damp caves, and leathers of "various qualities" and more "food policies than God could dream of"? The questions concerning "Atheism" never end. Let's ask as much as possible.
The Necessity of Atheism or not:
I find it typical that by the first Atheist text of the English language, naming Karl Marx on top of it, that the text is definite toward trying to narrow "the legal spectrum of thought" to what only the eyes can see, referring to the other so-called evidence-based rationale.
However, the author, Percy Bysshe Shelley, seems to neglect the already existing legal objectivity, barring both theologians and psychiatrists/psychologists.
It gets no better with the dead and gone legacy of Soviet Union either, known for its violations of people's privacy and other Human Rights as well as seeing Religion as dangerous to Human Kind, that "Religion has been an opium to the people"!
please, check with the original text too, one being from 1913, not bothering to date "Atheism" to more than 100 years, not very much!
History of Atheism with it, Wikip., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atheism, not much left of it in terms of the appeal we now should have against it, us representing the World religions.
Another one to "Atheism", other than "Atheist love camps":
"Atheism", I guess "Atheism" is liberal, is known to support all life-philosophies outside the religions, I guess, especially the whitelist religions. But what about the Cults? Can Atheism guarantee that Atheism is cult-free? What is Atheism going to say to the worried mother who wonders about letting her good son to join Atheism? Is the worry well founded so as to join Christianity instead? We wonder. The questions are many.
Is it not so also that Atheism is known to support some "very" strict hierarchies too? Let's assume hedonism and much egoism and some power involved, pecking orders, money, the rest... What do you think? :-)
Just in case Atheism tries it with ~□God, the negative necessity of God...
Just in case Atheism comes up with a crazy ~□God then we, the Religious, walk up the ladder another step with an appeal to logical soundness by "Explanatory Completeness" in that God provides a better SENSE by fulfilling Ethics, Meaning, Eternity and Perfection by Soul and Telepathy than the Human Nature Atheism does!
"Atheism brings nothing new" means that, seemingly, Atheism/"Atheism" has no ethical considerations to develop, has no history for doing so and is not at the forefront for expressing ethical concerns!
I add Frank Turek to this listing despite the fact that we are many, probably, and growing! I don't share his view on gay/lesbian marriage (although I'm not gay myself (or secretly so, no, I'm straight)). Also, I don't share his view of Intelligent Design to the full depth. However, "inside the Religious class" I find it complementary to other views and arguments. The force of it, though, can be discussed.
On YouTube against David
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtumpeHDnbA
His line of argumentation:
C is for Cosmos is concluded with Turek’s argument for fine tuning
R is for Reason
I is for Information
M is for Morality
E is for Evil and
S is for Science
There are more philosophers listed with the blogposting of "(A Part of) The Easy Way to Religion and Stalwartly So". Also the "powerlist" of philosophers.
If the Intelligent Design is so incredibly "trademarked" that I can't be "allowed" NDNID then I revert mine to Non-Dogmatic Grand Architecture, NDGA (after Thomas Paine and the U.S. constitution), which is just as good!
(And without the big egos from them as well.)
In Atheism trying to raise the Problem of Evil "in 2nd power", I'll basically reply to these "wide scale evil" accusations (which are to some extent plausible) that the Bible is also the story of the Judgment Day, a kind of fatalist story! (Please, see the appropriate metaphysics for Fatalism.)

While writing the above, I may claim the right to say that my Defences for God constitute (a weaker class of) proof!
Modal Logical Argument for the Existence of God - S5 Modality
UD (universe of discourse): Everything
G: Existence of God
H: Existence of Heaven
E: All Necessary Objective Ethics
M: Necessary Meaning
D: Necessary Definition of God (God is spirit)
C: Necessary Complete Knowledge - all the knowledge we can come to know, also when in Heaven
So,
1 C - Assumption
2 E - Assumption
3 M - Assumption
4 D - Assumption
5 C implies possible H/possible G - Assumption
6 E implies possible G - Assumption
7 M implies possible G - Assumption
8 D implies possible G - Assumption
0-------------------
9 C & E & M & D Conjunction introduction 1-4
10 possible G Implication elimination 2, 6
11 (C & E & M & D) implies possible G Implication introduction 9, 10
12 - (C & E & M & D) implies triple-possible G S5(1) 9,10 (◊◊◊) I guess my interpretation of S5 Modal logic in two steps
13 - triple-possible G implies Necessary Existence of God S5(2) (◊◊◊->□) I guess my interpretation of S5 Modal logic in two steps
0-------------------
14 Necessary Existence of God (□G, i.e., Necessary Existence of God)
I guess my interpretation of S5 Modal logic in two steps such that a possible, possible, possible entity becomes very possible entity becomes necessary entity.
Note: Atheists acknowledge in general that they can't disprove the existence of God.
That is, in simple words, that the necessary entities of Objective Ethics, Meaning, Definition of God and "Complete" Knowledge entails this special version of S5 modality so that these entities suggest a very possible Existence of God (and Heaven) and thus implies the necessary Existence of God (and Heaven).
(Introduction of "this" S5 is then given as example by a (triple-)possible company that operates by principles possible A, possible B and possible C and by these becomes a necessary company in this World, say Intel, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, Nike, Adidas, Asics, Sony or any other! My innovation?!)
I can now accept Faculty of Theology as part of every university because as much as one studies arts and more (subjective) aesthetic topics, that it can provide a kind of satisfaction (and avoid the cultish) to provide the openness of university to show for the artful / senseful ways of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and the others, also, by formal notice, the main mission, to provide the religious guidance through life in properly educated ways (let's forget, therefore, as a kind of celebration of priesthood "speaking to us today", the very uneducated quality of a perverse person such as Hitler)!!!
Caution: I don't want the association with Thomas Paine yet although I've been inspired by his clear thought as much as Johann Kaspar Schmidt has inspired me by his (early Schmidt) statement over God!
I have yet to read Paine's most important work (and that this is the biggest reason) and that I may be of strong Christian belief given some possible exemptions of the liturgical / theological kinds (despite the fact that I have written that I am NOT a Christian, but that this has to do with membership of a given Church, that it has been impossible for me to take part in the Norwegian Church because I haven't had the ease of mind and that I've feared they would use it as an excuse for further violations against my life, maybe unpopular too with the common church-goer, result thus, exit 2003), that fx. I refuse to lay my sins on Jesus, but expect to be punished for them "until God satisfied" in the Purgatory!
Supporting the "scientific Bible": You need to remember that when the Bible was written some 1500 years ago they were... forgive me... simpletons...! They probably sat there and babbled over numbers and said "give me a big number!" and the answer from the buddy was "6000?". Alright, that's a big number, my good man, it is now written! This is the way the Bible came into being. They had no clue over 900 000 things and so on... And they certainly didn't have the Carbon-14 (C-14) dating method in place either! Thus, I think one can expect most or all "reasonable religious people to reject or do away with the old notions of "religious truths" and that it's not serious to bother to hold these old views AGAINST religious people unless they promote these stupid ideas of "these ancestors of ours, these simpletons!" Alright? Put the idiocy to the anachronistic religious people...! By the way, the highest number of the Roman Numbers is M = 1000, so there they sit with 6 Ms and it's almost impossible to describe 900 000 things with the Roman Numbers. So certainly, the "Scientific Bible" should be made!
One thing more over this "evolution theory" (as if it could be crucial whatsoever): There is NO religious duty to stay WITH the description of fx. the Bible (by Noah's Ark and the 6000 year old planet) as such. The core of Religious belief is ethics, meaning, true description and a possibleknowledge entailment of its claims of Heaven or some stage toward reincarnation! Thus, every Religious person can accept science w/o qualms and PLACE Religion on TOP of this, w/o any (formal) problem whatsoever! This is point nr. 2 pro-Scientific Bible!
(My) Scientific Bible 2.0 - Commentary, (after the 1901 version of a woman): Attempts on making a scientific bible have been made earlier and at that point in time "The Science of God: Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom" by Gerald L. Schroeder (1994) has been a part of my own inspiration, in being criticised for a kind of "flood" view that other people, scientists of geology and others, have criticised shortly after publishing by "Illustrated Science" (Norw. "Illustrert Vitenskap" with url, http://illvit.no/ ). There are lots of other "scientific bibles" from what I can find on Amazon. Enjoy yours! To the Catholic Church, I've also been intrigued by the so-called Galileo-question, that has probably attracted a good deal of negative attention to Christianity up to our times. This is now slashed, I believe and that the Catholic Church and other churches are now moving forward with some greater confidence, perhaps. Times are difficult and people are asked to arm themselves with guns and protect homes with the usual intrusion-countermeasures.
As we know from before, the Bible is a matter of most honest worries, the need for description/explanation and storytelling and that the New Testament needs to be rated "lower" in value than the (more important) Old Testament.
My interpretation Noah and the Ark under the premise of the Bible as storytelling and not an account by the Bible writers from real life. This brings us Noah and the Flood, not true, but Noah and the metaphorical Flood of people by becoming more people and the metaphorical Ark as well, in terms of responsibility to Nature and not as a big boat for surviving any flood at all.
Given then the early premise of the Bible by Noah's Ark we can deduce further:
There's an immediate DUTY for the Church to immediately embrace a two children / one child strategy and the widespread use of contraception pills and condoms BECAUSE PLANET EARTH IS GOD'S CREATION IN ALL IT'S DIVERSITY and solemnly so!!! If we fail to carry Earth as such, we may infringe on God's will and benevolence to us!!! From the WWF it's easy to come to grips with animals in great distress over the whole World! That the duty on us, we need to effectuate immediately for complying with the combatting of Overpopulation by ushering in family policies of 1 kid or 2 kids as general rule! That is, the Church's acceptance pushes government into action!
Whether it is common to think so or not, I must say that The Church of Christianity surely may speak against the suicide, but I think this is directed to a friend in hardship and not the friend's own wish to end it! Thus, the Church of Christ. needs / has the explicit duty to let these people seek their own ends, including that of the suicide. This may also entail that the Church now has the duty to facilitate suicides on the common basis, regardless! I mean, the Church can't sit and watch people being tortured to death and be silent about it or remain an authority of consciousness to people of character and of sound faith!!! This must be clear.
Remember, that when you read this, you should separate "duty" from "natural inclination" so that every time you uphold a duty, you get "stars of respect" from your humanity, but when you stick to "lawful" natural inclination, pertaining to the Principle of Categorical Imperative that is the main message of this text it must then be clear, this must be allowed and in compliance with general humanity!
Because committing suicide does not mean that you destroy other people's ends, no, it means you end yours and leave others to their ends, which is commonly respected in this text!
The tree of knowledge:
the tree of knowledge as I interpret it under this new project of mine as the Scientific Bible 2.0, Commentary, must be the the tree of knowledge as the tree that has the knowledge that's dangerous such as the knowledge of how to abuse and torture people.
With the forbidden fruit (of energies).
One the other hand, all the other trees of good knowledge are there where you can eat all the fruit you can possibly have the appetite for!
Religion in history:
The Original Man: 30 000 years
Religious Human Kind: Only 2000 years
Atheism, no matter how wrong: less than 100 years and not entirely popular
Conclusion: Religion is still an achievement worthy of much respect! Also for the Palestine/Israel conflict, that Judaism and Islam and Ecumenical together as peace maker!
The Original Man, genus Homo Humans, neanderthals, homo erectus, and their direct ancestors 2.5 Mn years ago - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution .
Jesus 2nd Coming, one interpretation, now that I've declared "Metaphysical Jesus" / "Jesus as the Fulfillment of the 10 Commandments" , in a sense, "God to God self", yet unknown...
So I read the Bible's word for Jesus' 2nd Coming as a hope for stating an undoing of the people's (Pontius Pilatus) crucifixion of exactly Jesus, and that as he returns, by a kind of Buddhistic Reincarnation, directly from Heaven and God self, to "take the promised land" back to God, if not only to oversee that it has returned to God self, by personal confirmation, that is, so to make the promised land the Promised Land, but never before Utopia (or the final days of the Earth).
As we know from before, the Bible is a matter of most honest worries, the need for description/explanation and storytelling and that the New Testament needs to be rated "lower" in value than the (more important) Old Testament.
Now, we arrive at the conclusion: that Jesus is the part of Trinity who's supposed to bring the message of eternal salvation or havoc/eternal condemnation to human kind by the final Judgment (Judgment Day(s)), totally, all planet, all human kind, of the (modern sense) 10 Commandments and that the true Christian hope must be, metaphorically, for Jesus to walk the Promised Land again, triumphant by the 10 Commandments, under God's true words and promise to the human kind, indeed, told of as God's miracle on Earth, that is, human kind, God's miracle, with Jesus, part of Trinity, happy in the Promised Land, the Utopia of the Earth!
In Adam being created by God as matter of human being, separating right from wrong, and with the Holy Ghost, but also that Eve being created from his rib, that I interpret for being Adam by God allowing/preserving/creating Eve by his manly defence and character exactly under God.
Yes, that again, the storytelling is in and that the text again presents us with metaphor of the reasonable kind, but also the sense from a person with a deep feeling that this is important to add to the Bible.
I also hold the view that God is the creator behind "the law" of Darwinism, that Human Beings have been intended by God as God has created the Universe and Planet Earth.
Job in the Bible IS the job to accomplish!
Job's Book is a Book of worries, holding no Job or Job's Farm whatsoever.
The Dynamic Bible (and other Holy Books): I think that the Hebrew Bible, to start, is a dynamic document with ending words, "...now, please make a commentary!" on "the last page"! This is most certainly true of Job's Book (by only about 40 pages)! You can see for yourself, please!
You may want to know that it should now be acceptable for the Catholic Church to accept all "good science/knowledge" upon the mission to identify "God's ways in nature"!
Thus, the Catholic Church jolts a great step forward in terms of connecting to human kind in all matters important, with the religious on the very top of it all!
1. Jesus as Revenge of Jesus
→ Under Revenge of Jesus it may now be a duty to arm oneself with one or more guns and include an arsenal of other "deterrents". The first commandment may imply to worship truth!
→ Under the line above, that we have a duty to STAY WITH the principles of Truth and live dutifully to God and life, incl. offspring!
It may also be noted that I'm an author of a whole new psychiatric theory!
I've also suggested the writing of the "Scientific [Hebrew] Bible", commentary only!
I've also made God/Deity belief for the World wide population by 4-fold solution to God, thus intellectually defeating Atheism in general!
2. The Metaphorical Jesus
Over the status of Jesus and how to remove the apparent contradiction and the moral trouble with Jesus being tortured and killed on the cross, it can be worthwhile to consider this thought:
if you consider Jesus to be a kind of symbolism that goes like the following, I think you'll be better off. Alright, Jesus is (now) to be considered "purely symbolic" and it should spark these lines.
1. It might be that God loves humanity so much that he would incarnate on earth as "his Son, Jesus".
2. But this thought is so abruptly wrong because humanity loves God back and can't bear such an experience. Thus God is asked to refrain from this and the humanity to God and vice versa of love is by this affirmed!
The meaning here of course is that Humanity is set religiously free from sins by killing/punishing the sinners over them killing "innocence"/superiority of God impersonated by Jesus!
With both of these interpretations the alleged paradox of Jesus vanishes completely! The latest is though much harder, much more cool!
I've now delivered two interpretations on the part of Jesus and the meaning of his person in the Bible, one is metaphorical!
The meaning here of course is that Humanity is set religiously free from sins by killing/punishing the sinners over them killing "innocence"/superiority of God impersonated by Jesus!
This is in line with my investigation of the Bible as an important cultural document, over its metaphorics and wisdom, if not the facts are found as such, more or less correctly written to the best ability of that time. I'm NOT a Christian, I'm a Scientologist (who respects all other "beliefs and creeds", according to the teachings of Scientology itself and its great tolerance)!
Hallelujah!
Just in case it's worth something, it may be that my interpretation as suggestion to Christianity may unite it to Islam and Judaism because it hypothetically can be accepted in all three, yet only has a definite status in one → Concl: Theology stays the same, but the 3, JCI now with the possibility to share a greater deal of understanding and coming across as honest, cross-religiously with this.
There's an immediate DUTY for the Church to immediately embrace a two children / one child strategy and the widespread use of contraception pills and condoms BECAUSE PLANET EARTH IS GOD'S CREATION IN ALL IT'S DIVERSITY and solemnly so!!! If we fail to /carry Earth as such/, we may infringe on God's will and benevolence to us!!! From the WWF it's easy to come to grips with animals in great distress over the whole World!
Whether it is common to think so or not, I must say that The Church of Christianity surely may speak against the suicide, but I think this is directed to a friend in hardship and not the friend's own wish to end it! Thus, the Church of Christ. needs / has the explicit duty to let these people seek their own ends, including that of the suicide. This may also entail that the Church now has the duty to facilitate suicides on the common basis, regardless! I mean, the Church can't sit and watch people being tortured to death and be silent about it or remain an authority of consciousness to people of character and of sound faith! This must be clear.
Even the very excellent philosopher Kant (1724 - 1804) seems to agree that suicide is something that must be allowed and that staying in life despite of hardship is praiseworthy, i.e., please look to his 80 pages moral text, a text inline with the critiques, I think!
Link to Wikip. on one of his critiques: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critique_of_Practical_Reason !
What I talk about here is: (1785) Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten)!
This is written on p. 45 in one version, where he explains the First principle!
Remember, that when you read this, you should separate "duty" from "natural inclination" so that every time you uphold a duty, you get "stars of respect" from your humanity, but when you stick to "lawful" natural inclination, pertaining to the Principle of Categorical Imperative that is the main message of this text it must then be clear, this must be allowed and in compliance with general humanity!
Because committing suicide does not mean that you destroy other people's ends, no, it means you end yours and leave others to their ends, which is commonly respected in this text!
Concerning "God's Lamb", I must say that I've been thinking about this and it stands fairly clear to me, over the Scientific Bible (minimally The Old Testament) that this must be a symbolic encouragement "to stay alert" and "not to fall into heathens' hands/power" and thus, by animal convention as guinea pigs and more, the God's Lamb is sacrificed (or "assaulted by baddies behind a corner"). I think Christianity is getting better by the day now and I hope you find it beautiful too, even though our ancestors have been simpler than us today.
I am inspired and I may offer "a good deal". It's up to you, the readers of this to pass the correct judgments! That is, formally speaking, the services from above are offered on the basis of a consultant from "the far east", finding great reflections valuable to everyone, but in one Catholic Church with a theology that I'm not prepared to accept just yet. This also applies to most other Christian Churches. However, the Unitarian Church may be acceptable, but I'm happy with Scientology and I see no immediate need to offer more than insights at this point in time!
It should be obvious that these are very important to Christianity all over the World and I hope others follow up if my chances for doing this are lost or if I'm too encumbered with other matters, one way or another.
Then one good verse to remember for this weapon purpose of self-defence:
Psalm 149
King James Version (KJV)
149 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Reading the Bible in serving the ecumenical world, all "whitelist religions", counting under 20(?), like JCIB, as "Moses II" metaphorically/"charicaturely":
I cite this evangelical duty of religions, this time Christianity, by Exodus 31:13:
"...for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may [only as speech here] know that I [am] the Lord [who] that doth sanctify you [i.e., keep you in God's grace to Heaven as you die].
Otherwise: "to bring God's salvation", "to bring the word of the Bible to all people so that they can turn to God and Heaven", etc. from the Bible, of course, one of them, King James (Bible of 1611), the Bible of Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Catholic Bible, so on.

God in closing the door on Humanity - The sins and the injustice to very worthy people, there can only be one possibility, solving the Biblical duality of some saying The Day of the Judgment when Doomsday is to arrive.
God Closing the Door on Humanity - Declaring the whole thing ripe for the Devil?
Life as God's Test of Humanity!
I'm not sure if I've written it before, but I think it says in the Bible that "life is God's test to humanity"! That is, as we endure the difficulties in life, we choose God's path in life in order to achieve God's goal that's set for us! However, this doesn't mean that God has only created this humanity on Earth (among other humanity on other planets) or that God hasn't given us a sufficient chance to fulfill a God's set goal, "Heaven in one form or another, whether as reincarnation or something else". Indeed, I think we have or we've had this opportunity sufficiently for us to say that God is God, that God is perfect and that the principles need to be carried through, no matter what!
To say that humanity has failed on Earth doesn't mean that humanity has failed everywhere in the Universe/Multiverse. It doesn't mean either that the souls here or there are condemned likewise.
Note so far, by this, then, there are chances by degrees that are given by God out of our own human behaviour, of which much would be 100% given that we would have made our lives more wisely ordered (and even in death to be blessed)! This is clearly not reality today!
As the other version, of 2 in the Bible, is the word of salvation.
One may say that one receives salvation in Heaven and that the sins of the Earth take over Earth-life, "bound to bigger Devil on Planet Earth".
The up-side is for the Good People, the worthy people to God, to find mind's rest in relying on own actions on Planet Earth and let God sort out the rest, "come what may". That we are to actually comply with the 10 Commandments and just spear everything upto a point where we can either "join" (out from hardship/"military" emergency) life as decent on Planet Earth or die still WORTHY!
Some preaching for today. I note that 1 Corinthians 3:16 - 3:17 reads:
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Just put this with Plotinus and forget still that the above needs to be compatible with the Path to God, that you DO NOT replace God with yourself, falling prey to the Cardinal Sin of "Pride"/"Aloofness", the sin no. 7!
“In God, whose word I praise - in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm 56:4 NIV..
The finishing words of this bidding for The Scientific Bible 2.0 - Commentary are:
Some Biblical inspiration: "James 4:17": Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. [The New Int. Version, 1984!]
Numbers 15:30 NIV
" 'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people." This one is very hard and good, I think!
Numbers 16:26 NIV
"He warned the assembly, "Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins."
I've also quoted Ezekiel under Revenge of Jesus and it fits very well: When you have the idiot in front of you and you know you have the power and you get to exercise some moral character, I can only advise this for the good vigilante/pistolier:
The Classic Ezekiel 25:17, it goes,
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
Note: I have previously offered my services to the Pope of Rome / The Vatican / of the Catholic Church for this, signalling that I see this as important!
Note2: Under The Scientific Bible 2.0 - Commentary, certainly, this implies no changes of original documents (most importantly up to King James Bible and others)! Copyrighted works are also subjects to this notion, but this is an entirely different story!
Note3: This is in line with my investigation of the Bible as an important cultural document, over its metaphorics and wisdom, if not the facts are found as such, more or less correctly written to the best ability of that time. That some of the time under "unlawful detention" by Norwegian authorities has made robbed away from me a better quality presentation. Sorry.
Note4: Valid Holy Books only apply to the "whitelist" Religions under 20 or so!
Note5: The finished work should have as title: The Scientific Bible 2.0 - A Commentary to All Valid Holy Books.

Supporting the "scientific Bible": You need to remember that when the Bible was written some 1500 years ago they were... forgive me, simpletons...! They probably sat there and babbled over numbers and said "give me a big number!" and the answer from the buddy was "6000?". Alright, that's a big number, my good man, it is now written! This is the way the Bible came into being. They had no clue over 900 000 things and so on... And they certainly didn't have the Carbon-14 (C-14) dating method in place either! Thus, I think one can expect most or all "reasonable religious people to reject or do away with the old notions of "religious truths" and that it's not serious to bother to hold these old views AGAINST religious people _unless_ they promote these stupid ideas of "these ancestors of ours, these simpletons!" Alright? Put the idiocy to the anachronistic religious people...! By the way, the highest number of the Roman Numbers is M = 1000, so there they sit with 6 Ms and it's almost impossible to describe 900 000 things with the Roman Numbers. So certainly, the "Scientific Bible" should be made!
One thing more over this "evolution theory" (as if it could be crucial whatsoever): There is NO religious _duty_ to stay WITH the description of fx. the Bible (by Noah's Ark and the 6000 year old planet) as such. The core of Religious belief is ethics, meaning, true description and a possibleknowledge entailment of its claims of Heaven or some stage toward reincarnation! Thus, every Religious person can _accept science w/o qualms and PLACE Religion on TOP of this, w/o any (formal) problem_ whatsoever! This is point nr. 2 _pro_-Scientific Bible!
