Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... rsion=NRSV
It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
Does God need to rest or not?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

So are you saying killing babies is just or unjust?
What an odd question. I didn't mention killing babies at all.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Must be a misquote. Sorry. To be honest it is off topic.

It's not a misquote on my part. I quoted precisely what you asked me. Off topic? It's more like out of left field.

Must be a misquote (by me). Sorry. To be honest it is off-topic.

By writing sorry was meant to indicate that I did the misquote. I wouldn't have written sorry if I didn't make a mistake.
