This is part of the Land of the Free series.

Religion in America has, unfortunately, always been mixed with politics. Not only is this unfair and unethical, it’s against our constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Karma has been coming up a lot. If I tell a little white lie or something I’m told “that’s bad karma.” I’ve really been thinking about it the past few weeks and the more I think about it the more I know that Westerners really don’t even understand what the word means, and second of all, it just can’t exist even if that were the proper definition.

“If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”

- 1 Corinthians 3:17

Two parts are especially important here:
anyone defiles and which temple you are. This tells us that not only is murder a sin, but so is suicide because you are “anyone”.

And as Deuteronomy 5:17 quite clearly says Thou shalt not kill. Kill, by definition is simply “cause the death of (a person, animal, or other living thing)” based on New Oxford American Dictionary.

One of my personal favorite Atheist quotes is:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

- Epicurus [341–270 B.C.]

What does that mean exactly? Well, I’m hoping to dissect it piece by piece and let you “believers” try to come up with some kind of rebuttal. Unfortunately this will not be easy, as this quote takes care of about 99% of “faith” based arguments.
