Nice. It's not a sacrifice if Jesus didn't actually lose anything.
Another question I like asking christians is "If Jesus is God and his sacrifice is so powerful...then how come not being convinced it actually happened somehow stops its effect? [for the unbeliever]"

That's a theme explored by Anne Rice in her rather excellent book Memnoch the Devil - I wouldn't jump straight in and read it though, you really need to start with Interview with the Vampire and work forward.

I ****ing hate it whenever I'm talking to a christian and they chastise ME for supposedly believing in the universe coming from nothing. Hello! That's what YOUR holy book says!

Christian debater flummoxed by a 13-14 year old.

Talk about making it up as you go along. I almost fell asleep listening to his word salad.

Damn, that is bad. I can't fathom living my life each day with that type of logic. Flawed barely does it justice.

Cool kid, though.

That was painful. What a buffoon.

Fair play to the kid, and the atheist who asked some questions at the end.

Bearing in mind the Vatican's synod, here's an oldie from 2012:

Homophobia is the glue that holds society together, claims Catholic Church

News Thump wrote:

A letter by the Catholic Church’s two most senior archbishops outlining how being a homophobic bigot is the only way to stop society being reduced to a sinful post-apocalyptic wasteland similar to Mad Max, but with more gays, is to be read out loud in 2,500 parish churches.

The letter, which was apparently written in all seriousness by Archbishop Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, and Archbishop Peter Smith, the Archbishop of Southwark, tells Catholics that allowing same-sex marriages will have a damaging effect on children.

In one passage the Archbishops wrote: “We must think of the children, but this time we must think of them fully clothed.” “The introduction of same-sex marriages that we won’t have to have any involvement in should not distract us from our moral obligation to tell people that they’re going to suffer eternal torment in the fiery pits of hell. Some people are determined to live their own lives, and this is something that we have a duty to try and stop.”

Last week Cardinal Keith O’Brien, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland, warned that the plans would shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of people who are okay with the covering up of child sex abuse.

Pope Benedict XVI has also hit out at the plans in a speech to US bishops, in which he also described premarital sex and cohabitation as “gravely sinful” and “damaging to the stability of society”.

The speech has since been proclaimed a miracle due to the fact that it was delivered with a straight face and no sense of irony.

It seems we're the cause of severe flooding in the Himilayas, with our defecating and urinating in a godless manner, according to India's water minister anyways:

Hindustan Times wrote:

A year after floods devastated Kedarnath, Union water resources minister Uma Bharti has revealed the “underlying” cause of the disaster -- defecation near the shrine by non-believers.
Her observations came during an interaction with experts – albeit bemused -- of the Dehradun-based Himalayan Institute of Glaciology and Forest Research Institute. Pointing out that human excretory activities were forbidden within the natural boundary formed by the Mandakini and Saraswati rivers which flowed near the shrine in 1882, Bharti said, “However, as time passed, atheists came here, mainly for business purposes. This resulted in nature’s fury at Kedarnath in 2013”.
The minister also said that she was keen to restore the status of no-man’s land around the shrine which existed before 1882.

Saraswati has since been reduced to a mere trickle.
She, however, added that the “immediate reason” for the Kedarnath deluge was cloudburst and excessive rains in the state which had left over 6,000 people dead. “But the underlying reason was human excretion,” she added.
Bharti’s comments – which apparently defied scientific logic – came a few days after another of her ministerial colleague Maneka Gandhi said that funds from “illegal cow slaughter” was being used to fund Islamic terrorism.
Bharti is in Dehradun to discuss details for reconstruction of the Kedarnath shrine.
One among the four main pilgrimages in the Himalayan state known as the ‘char dham’, the Kedarnath shrine draws lakhs of devotees every year.
