this is talking about the apostles not all christians
Sure it isn't. If that's the case then it could be said that Jesus is talking to the apostles in all he says. This excuse is the most common, and the most ridiculous.

Wow, how very clever of you...
I think a ban would be in order, just based on the stupidity of the post in general, let alone telling Christians to drink poison. Sometimes I wish these Christians would follow some OT rules, and stone non-believers who ignorantly and openly mock, without knowing what the hell they are talking about. Way to go! You really told em! Go atheists! Represent!
(psst. Hey, you atheists out there that have a clue...you might want to pull his membership card).
You call yourself an "atheist that has a clue"? HA! There are many people (like myself) who follow the OT rules and I do not go around stoning people. That ISN'T what the Bible calls for. In Judaism there are two inspired texts by which Jews and Noachides live, the Tanakh (Or Old Testament to Christians) and the Talmud. The laws of Torah are foolish and make no sense without the Talmud just as the Talmud makes no sense without the Torah. They go hand in hand. In Deut it says that all punishments should be on the basis of two or three witnesses or a "fair trial." Nowhere in the OT does it say HOW to conduct a Jewish trial, however this is described (in lengthy detail) in the Talmud. You don't stone a blasphemer without giving a fair trial for the blasphemer first and SINCE THERE IS NO TEMPLE OR SANHEDRIN,
SUCH STONING CANNOT TAKE PLACE (at least not lawfully)! The Talmud says that to stone someone without giving them a trial is the same as if the person doing the stoning had committed a crime 7 times worse than the crime that the person being stoned was being stoned for. Do you really the the Jews are so barbaric as to have laws which would condone the reckless stoning of valuble human life? Not at all. There are rules and ways to carry out rules, look into the truth and learn.
If a ban is in order for AmazingAtheist's "stupid" post, than a ban is also in order for your negligent Anti-Semitism
Sincerely,
Knight.
