Chico, I apologize if I misunderstood what you said to Twan about having an open mind. Reading back, I see it can be interpreted either way.

Re- the Infidels.org site, I don't see what problem you have with the site, because they have links for every verse quoted, so it can be read in context.
I think the meaning is clear.

We are told God is omnipotent [lol, i almost typed impotent there] Then, we are told God and Judah couldn't defeat the plainsmen.

As omnipotent means having unlimited power, and of course God is believed to be all powerful, how could he not be able to defeat a few plainsmen in iron chariots?

From the King James Version-~~ And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.~~

It doesn't say in what form the Lord was with Judah,physically or spiritually. But they couldn't win the battle.

Everyone knows the commandment- Thou shalt not kill. But in Exodus 32:27
~~~And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.~~~

Hmmm, sounds like killing to me.........

2 Kings 19:35
~~And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

This would make God a hypocrite.

wow, lots to reply to...

re: proselytizing - i hate that shit! i had a roommate/landlord who grew up JW and talks about how much it isolated her, like in school situations, because there were SO many activities she and her bros and sis's (there were seven or eight kids in her family in all) couldn't participate in, that it really made them stand out.

i've only gotten bugged once on the island by religious people, they were mormons and it was like this one week they were everywhere. the second time they tried to give me a flyer "about a video about families" i told them i already had one of their flyers and they gave me a different flyer on the book of mormon instead.. i sorta felt bad for them, they looked like lost boys.

i have to tell this story though - when i wen tto school in arizona, there were mormons everywhere, and recovering mormons everywhere. i had two friends who were both recovering mormons and both bisexual. one time we were in phoenix on a sunday before we drove back up to flagstaff, and they wanted to go into all the mormon churches wearing their t-shirts from our school's LGBT group. i declined to go with them, and they got to chicken to actually do it anyway. they were going to go in and yell gay pride and run back out, like in the middle of the service. what we did do though, was drive around the parking lots BLASTING marilyn manson, and APC's judith.

now THAT part was fun!

more later...
