No one in the final analysis fails to become a Christian because of a lack of arguments; he fails to become a Christian because he loves darkness rather than light and wants nothing to do with god.","author":"William Lane Craig","tags":["apologetics","aronra","atheism","atheist","bill","craig","david","davidjohnwellman","debate","dogma","dumbfuck","faith","idiot","lane","liar","reasonable","religion","smalley","theism","theist","william"],"id":30632,"author_id":"William+Lane+Craig"},{"text":"David looked at me, then, the regret plain on his face.

After he makes his name by killing Goliath, David recruits a gang of guerrillas, extorts wealth from his fellow citizens at swordpoint, and fights as a mercenary for the Philistines. These achievements make Saul jealous: the women in his court are singing, “Saul has killed by the thousands, but David by the tens of thousands.” So Saul plots to have him assassinated.19 David narrowly escapes before staging a successful coup. When David becomes king, he keeps up his hard-earned reputation for killing by the tens of thousands. After his general Joab “wasted the country of the children of Ammon,” David “brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes.” 20 Finally he manages to do something that God considers immoral: he orders a census. To punish David for this lapse, God kills seventy thousand of his citizens.","author":"Steven Pinker","tags":["david","god","religion","violence"],"id":45855,"author_id":"Steven+Pinker"},{"text":"My name is David Charleston.I kill people with super powers.","author":"Brandon Sanderson","tags":["charleston","david","kill","people","powers","super"],"id":46991,"author_id":"Brandon+Sanderson"},{"text":"Whether your pleasing or pissing everybody off, your doing something wrong.","author":"David Cook","tags":["axium","cook","david","truth"],"id":74435,"author_id":"David+Cook"},{"text":"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.","author":"Scott Westerfeld","tags":["beauty","david","uglies","westerfeld"],"id":82018,"author_id":"Scott+Westerfeld"},{"text":"I hear nothing.
