My answers are in blue.

Over the centuries, billions of people have fallen prey to religion run amok.
People fall prey to their own ignorance. Most people use religion incorrectly by assuming it says what it does not.

If someone gives you a shovel and asks you to dig a hole with it, and instead you turn on him and hit him with it, is that the fault of the shovel?

Religion, like all literature, is a tool that can be used or misused. The Bible makes this obvious 100's of times.

Read the Bible from front to end a few times and this becomes as clear as light. But if your conscience chases you away from its Logical Truth, so that you never finnish reading it, then how can you claim to understand what it says?
How many Jews and Gypsies suffered in Nazi concentration camps while churches in Germany turned their heads?
The Jews more than merely enslaved Germany after Versailles, in a most un-Christian manner. The evil actions of both Germans and Jews put them into conflict with God, and each other. True Christianity, bailed them out of it at a terrible cost.

German and Jewish attempts at genocide stink throughout history. The Anglo-Boer war was caused by Germans and Jews who wanted to exterminate Africans. The Italians in Abyssinia tried the same. Would you risk your life to save Adolph Hitler?

Germany had hyper-inflation before world war one even started. A culture that keeps inflating prices is a culture of greed and exploitation. Disaster is its only outcome. Except when a Truthful brave person makes a logical and viable sacrifice.

The Jews typically decapitate anyone who is better than them. They have never read nor understood their own teachings. They turn their back on innocent victims without fail. The same message of Christ was instructed to them through Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all the other prophets who preached love and tolerance to them.

Jews who are not Christians, are not Jews either. Christ said nothing new. He only communicated the logic of Jewish culture. But he did do it in a most spectacularly graceful manner.

Both Germans and Jews got what they gave to others. Logically there can be no other way. Only forgiveness or sacrifice can break that cycle. But forgiveness and sacrifice have limits.

The few gypsies I have met are either cowards, liars or thieves, or all three. They are little different from Germans and Jews. They even all share names with one another. They are a single people in the eyes of God. A stubborn conceited and jealous people.

German and Jewish names are so similar, how can anyone even try and tell them apart? They are hypocrites who live like parasites on good people. They imitate the culture of honest people (and each other) for the sake of crass exploitation of those who try and help them. And they repeat this stupidity ad nauseam.
How many people were murdered in the Crusades during the middle ages - in the name of God?
The number is irrelevant. Murderers will be murdered. What makes you so sure that those who died were so righteous? Self defense is not murder. Why do you assume that if someone has been killed it was murder? Would you not want to kill someone who raped and murdered your child?

The middle ages were filled with illiterate thugs who raped and pillaged. Where is that culture of godlessness today?

Dead and buried. Thank God. Were it not for the Crusades Europe would still be the cesspool it was then. God is firm and just, but also tolerant to a point, but does not tolerate evil people who make no effort to correct their obvious wrongs. We know this because society improves itself. Thus the good survive. If this were not so, we would still be living in medieval Europe.
Some religious leaders seem to tell us that we're not smart enough or good enough to discover God on our own. Who says?
History says. Do you think that Nazis are smart enough to do this? And the Neo nazis, who repeat the same stupid mistake after they got the crap kicked out of them throughout history? These are clever people then, according to you.

That most of America still practices circumcision 2000 years after Saint Paul proved it was worthless and backward just shows how most who call themselves Christians have never even read the Bible.
If God is good and perfect, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?
God has given us the freedom to choose between good and evil. Evil exists because goodness and the freedom to choose good or evil exists. Can going forward exist without the possibility of going backward? Can up exist without down? The only alternative to evil existing, is if we were mere automaton without choice. Can one grow bigger without starting off smaller?
How can anyone rely on the Bible for answers, if it's just a loose translation of ancient myths anyway?
The Bible is many things : parables, riddles, poems and stories. Timeless Truth. If Christ is such a myth, then why are all the best scientists Christians? Even Einstein ran away from Germany and Jewry to Christian America. Only the Christians exalted him, because his own people would crucify He who is better than them. Out of jealousy. The worst of all sins.

What is such a myth about a book that considers the quest for Truth to be paramount? What is so mythical about 'thou shalt not kill?' What is so loose about 'thou shalt not steal'?

Why is it that if something is ancient you consider it wrong? Is the quest for understanding wrong because Man has held it dear to his heart throughout the ages? Is jealousy now a good thing because the ancients have warned against it since forever?
How can we trust a religion that has advocated slavery and the subjugation of women throughout history?
An honest woman will never be subjugated. There are countless woman who have exalted themselves way beyond mere ordinary men. That you consider all woman to be subjugated is an insult to the many free woman in the (Christian) world.

If people persist in ignorance, they will be forcing themselves into subjugation. Once Japan had surrendered, there were only three options:

1) Let them go so they can do it again.
2) Execute them all.
3) Contain them under slavery.

What else would you have the conquerors of evil do to the vanquished? There are no other options than these three. Except of course illogical statements that simply amount to option 1.
These are serious questions - hot potatoes that nobody wants to touch.
Actually all of religion does nothing else but grasp these issues firmly. Mere touching is for cowards who pretend to have a read a book that they have not. Do not touch the Bible. Clasp it firmly to your Soul.

Woman ask for equality with men, but so few even try to be honest. Its easier to wiggle your body at a fool and take his money, than to think.

As a man I have to be prepared at all times to fight, die, and kill if necessary to protect you. Even if you lie and cheat. Just like you would with your children. Just like God does with men.

If you are not ready to die for Truth you will be bullied into corruption. Your so-called coffee-house is a synonym for a marijuana joint. If you were honest you would say what it is, instead of hiding behind lies. That hypocrisy called Holland, is responsible for millions of men being behind bars. You do not say on your website where you are from so I can only assume your coffee house is the same as most coffee houses : A Dutchman who lies.

And what does Holland do with the small amount of liberty it has? It turns it into a mindless brothel. It takes the tree of life and uses it to enslave young girls into whores. No wonder the Nazis just ran over Holland like a dirt track. Even they had more honesty than Holland. Your comments are more of a cold fish than a hot potato.

All your questions have already been answered in the first two books of the Bible. The answers have been repeated over and over again throughout the rest of the Bible. Instead you attack the only people that will save you when the crap flies.

But that is OK, we will always still help you, for you are ignorant children who know not what you do. And when millions of brave men die to save you, yet again, they do so with valor, with grace, and without a trace of regret.

But considering that you question a book you have not even read yet, you probably have not even read this far.

Your guilty conscience has most likely chased you back to some cheap thrill.

But God Bless you anyway. You are certainly going to need it. But I have faith in you because you speak against dogma. Every book in the Bible also does. You have learnt one very important thing : To question everything. But can you persist at all costs? Or is it just much easier to go back to the 'coffee' shop?

Your comments, however, are mostly nothing more than secular 'dogma', so I worry for you, and I pity you, and I pray to God to lift the veil of faithlessness that some fool has put upon your heart.

If you had any conscience, any claim to Honesty and Truth, then you would convince all women to refuse sex until the tree of life has been liberated from lies and deceit.

You can start by calling your 'coffee' shop a marijuana shop.

It would be great if I could e-mail you, but the godless fools have ruined email with their selfish dickless crap.
