36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch[a] with me.” 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.[b] See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
The disciples were asleep

The disgusting behaviour exhibited by American law enforcement towards to non whites.
I've just watched a National Geographic documentary about southern border protection in the US, whenever the officers mentioned the people they were pursuing they referred to them as "BODIES". Maybe they could start calling them Juden, they are already 90% gestapo.

Smart people know the history of Lafayette writing 3rd rate SciFi and then deciding to create what he considered the greatest money maker:
A RELIGION.
How can people be sucked in? Is it because humans are desperate to believe in crap if it means they won't die?

And why doesn't god know the answer?
Matthew 27:5Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Acts 1:18Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.
Since the bible is the word of god why does he tell two different stories about it?
Is your god stupid or confused?

If the American army hadn't taken control of the air bases in 1777 it's unlikely that they would have defeated the British. The Battle of La Guardia stands as one of the stellar achievements of the American armed Forces and should never be forgotten.

Just look at all the conservitards here who are foaming at the mouth to kill innocent Iranians, the same conservitards who demand the right to own weapons whose only purpose is to kill humans, weapons specifically designed for that purpose and used most effectively on children.

You know, actually considered what death is without your religious prejudices? Without those human created prejudices why would you believe in an afterlife? What, other than man made religion, is there to even hint at an afterlife.
So lets examine death which is real and was not created by man without your man made religious prejudices, can you do it? Have you ever done it? Do you have the courage to do it?

The three most prominent gods are Yahweh, Jesus and Allah. These gods are totally contingent upon the two books written about them. Without the bible and the quran these gods would not exist in the awareness of humans.
Given that, I wonder what gods would be the most prominent without those two books?
ie Which gods would you worship in their place?

God created you in his image.
You are heterosexual ergo your god is heterosexual.
Heterosexuality is therefore supernatural.
I see no discernible evidence that Jesus was heterosexual in fact the opposite is more likely given the evidence.
Jesus is God.
Homosexuality is therefore supernatural.
It's hard to determine what is natural.

1 Kings 10: 14.The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents not including the revenues from merchants and traders and from all the Arabian kings and the governors of the territories. That is about 30 tons or about 23 metric tons.= $250 million today.
I'd just like someone to present the evidence from the other societies and peoples attesting to the fact that they paid these tributes to a King Solomon of Israel.
Can anyone supply this information?

Judges 21 American Standard Version (ASV)
21 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. 2 And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore. 3 And they said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one tribe lacking in Israel? 4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. 5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up in the assembly unto Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death. 6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly. 9 For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. 10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones. 11 And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall [a]utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 And the whole congregation sent and spake to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace unto them. 14 And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? 17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel. 18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. 19 And they said, Behold, there is [b]a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. 20 And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards, 21 and see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to [c]complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them [d]graciously unto us, because we took not for each man of them his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty. 23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they carried off: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them. 24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
