Protestant morays? I didn't know eels had religious affiliations. Perhaps you meant morés.

You pity God?! Who are you to to put yourself above the almighty creator and ruler of the universe??? God doesn't feel a need to defend the way things are, so why should you? He doesn't think hell is wrong, so who are we to say we wish it weren't real?? Who are we?? We are like the flowers of the field, who are here for a little while, and then disappear only to be forgotten. God is eternal. He is the beginning and the end. He is Just, and Righteous, and Holy, and Good, and Compassionate. We are the fallen creation. Our sinful nature and desire to lift ourselves above our creator is the reason for all the bad in this world. God is perfect in every way and there is a reason we cannot see Him. If our human eyes were to look upon His face we would surely die at the sight of Him. There are legions of Angels who cry at his feet, "Holy Holy Holy" for all time. He made the world and the heavens and He knows infinitely more than we could ever claim to know. We are in HIS WORLD. Don't forget that. He is not in ours, and he is not one to pity. For he could turn you to dust in this very moment. You should get on your knees and ask God to reveal Himself to you in the ways that He has revealed Himself to the believers because any moment on this earth could be your last and there are no second chances. Whether you like it or not the day of judgement is coming.

[...] Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Does God Exist? Hitchens vs. Craig bighollywood.breitbart.com/dtennapel/2009/04/08/does-god-exist-hitchens-vs-craig – view page – cached I had the opportunity to see Christopher Hitchens debate Dr. William Lane Craig on the topic “Does God Exist?” at BIOLA University. The gymnasium was packed with 3,000 people, most of whom were Christians but some non-believers made a showing. Without the home court advantage, you might think Hitchens would be the Lion cast into Daniel’s Den. Surely the reciprocal of the secular university would happen; he’d get pies thrown at him, and he would be regularly booed, shouted down and mocked. Hardly. — From the page [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KND44ZR5CKE Plenty of Christians are very violent. It's a bit of a fallacy that atheists are more closed minded, arrogant and volatile when there aren't really many atheist lobby groups like the ones in the video.

"This is the demonstration of class and restraint I’ve noticed from a conservative Christian culture that has a much better record of tolerance than the liberal non-Christian culture."

Even if this was true, it'd be the logical fallacy of style over substance. The fact is that your blog in of itself is considerably more vicious and patronising than the average "Liberal" one. You're only claiming "tolerance" because you know that's exactly what you're not.

There's a difference between impatience towards irrational viewpoints, and intolerance towards something like homosexuality, which you hold. The "Well at least we let you argue your case!" isn't really true when at the end of the day you have no real respect for logical discourse(or else you wouldn't drill in a point of style over substance).

No disrespect taken. The argument is relevant because you casually dismiss the witnesses for who, the simple answer is, Jesus died.

"This is not recorded history as we would accept it today"

If this is your only defense, then all history is hearsay. In 2000 years they can say the same of what we are living this very moment. Is this moment a lie?

there are a couple of twits who decided to exorcise their demons at our expense; we love a spirited debate(can you tell?) but the ideologically driven hard left are always right, like the Soviets used to say… so,you make a salient point which they ignore (always!) and then repeat either ad hominem attacks or their favorite Marxist bromide (usually, but not relegated to racist, etc.) and seem to be searching for a fight. We do not shirk from either…
