Christians. Why do you respect a God that kills humans and does not denounce slavery?

    yours aren't inferior. never said that. it's just that all of your threads seem to come from fundy wonderland, with expectations of stirring people up. it's tiring.

    lol you do still.

    look at your handle.

    We are both confused.
    I did not mean to suggest that you were anything. I just included women as opposed to just men. To me Gay is both sexes.

    Homosexuality is as ancient as mankind as far as I can dither. People have also always discriminated but at times to a lesser degree. Discrimination has been around since laws.

    Every law is permission and compulsion to discriminate against whatever the law spoke to. Sometimes with reason, sometimes without.
    ot all laws are good laws.

    Hi fondfarewell,

    If the Bible is what it claims to be, the word of God, don’t you think that even if God or his son Jesus never personally wrote a single word of it, don’t you think that the Omnipotent Omniscient God, the one with the power and intellect to create the universe could do a little thing like making sure that what he wanted said was said in it and that no one was putting words in his mouth.

    well here you are giving "God" human like characteristics, and personally, I dont think of God as some old man in the clouds. I think most real spiritual people don't.

    Even real spiritual people sometimes use Anthropomorphism, check the Bible for yourself.

    Actually he hates everyone who isn't a jew. Anyway, I guess you don't believe in God, so why are you even worried about it??

    we are all God's children.

    to think otherwise is simply foolish.

    The Christian God loves everyone and does not hate anyone. You are mistaking his hatred of what is bad for hatred of those who do what is bad. God hates what is bad but does not hate those who do what is bad. It’s the actions and not the people that he hates.

    If love the sinner and hate the sin is as you indicate is the policy then why kill the sinners that He loves?

    Why not eliminate the sinning nature and leave the sinners to live. his would be better than looking like a genocidal maniac.

    everyone has their own idea of good and bad

    he hates those who do what he thinks is bad

    but [for example] i think eating meat is bad

    i do not hate people who eat meat [i do not care]

    but if i were the xtian god i would send you to hell for it

    even tho your morals allowed it

    I'm not sure how alone on this I am, but I think some things could have been added to the bible by various people throughout history with a hidden agenda. I also believe that God is genuinely good and without human flaws, like hate and violence.

    dude not every christian feels that way...Instead of asking the question why respect the christian god? Why not ask, why are these people trying to run my life such buttheads?? They dont represent every christian and their beliefs.

    Does this mean that you do not believe in the flood or the other places where God kills.

    Christian beliefs are all over the map nowadays. Pick what you want and discard the rest.

    No one can run your life except you.

    You're right. Its wrong to decide for yourself what you believe and what you don't. I better start bashing gays and stop using condoms...

    I really don't understand your responses man.

    what he is saying is that everyone is a cherry picker nowadays. they read the bible, they like some of it, and they dont like other parts of it.

    therefor only the parts they like could POSSIBLY ever be true.
    we live in an age where everyone defines God according to their own beliefs.
    If you do this, you dont serve the traditional christian God, rather, you are calling yourself God.
