The Cheneys apparently love their daughter more than the Lord.

And properly so, if one is to suppose that "the Lord" in question is worthy of basic respect, much less reverence.

God says that if anybody differs with you about religion, "kill him." He told His peculiar people, "If anyone teaches a different religion, kill him!" He did not say try and convince him that he is wrong, but "kill him." He did not say, "I am in the miracle business, and I will convince him;" but "kill him." He said every husband, "If your wife, that you love as you love your own soul, says 'let us go and worship other gods,' then thy hand shall be upon her and she shall be stoned with stones until she dies." Well now, I hate a God of that kind, and I cannot think of being nearer heaven than to be away from Him. A God tells a man to kill his wife simply because she differs with him on religion! If the real God were to tell me to kill my wife, I would not do it. If you had lived in Palestine at that time, and your wife--the mother of your children--had waked up at night and said: "I am tired of Jehovah. He is always turning up that board bill. He is always telling about whipping the Egyptians. He is always killing somebody. I am tired of him. Let us worship the sun. The sun has clothed the world in beauty; it has covered the earth with green and flowers; by its divine light I first saw your face; its light has enabled me to look into the eyes of my beautiful babe. Let us worship the sun, father and mother of light and love and joy." Then what would it be your duty to do--kill her? Do you believe any real God ever did that? Your hand should be first upon her, and when you took up some ragged rock and hurled it against the white bosom filled with love for you, and saw running away the red current of her sweet life, then you would look up to heaven and receive the congratulations of the infinite fiend whose commandments you had to obey.

Why do you quote from Ingersoll's "Why I am an agnostic"? and say "and properly so". Keyes is a Catholic not an athiest, agnostic, budhhist, or satan worshipper. If you despise Christians just say it.

Chapter and verse, please?

God says that if anybody differs with you about religion, "kill him."

A crude paraphrase, but yes, God commanded death for a number of infractions, including idolotry (and homosexuality by the way). Of course, that was BEFORE Jesus came and fulfilled the Law, and took the punishment we all deserved. In doing so, he introduced the Law of Grace, which he so eloquently displayed when the adulteress was brought before him (he who casts the first stone...) But of course you knew this already, didn't you? Which begs the question, why would you post something so flagrantly false? Because it was a quote by a famous orator and agnostic, so you figure it must be true?
