OK OK, bad example. I was going for a dramatic example.

We'll try a more simple example.

If it's possible then god condones it......
Why do we need the 10 commandments?

Why do we need the 10 commandments?

We don't. All those people wandering around a desert, being led by Charleston Heston in bad make up, worshiping cows, fornicating anything that moved (including the cows), causing total disorder at Moses tried to find them a home needed them. So they made some up... the caveats were added later.

[Boris Godunov]

It was something like:

Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.

yup, nailed em

Ok, Japhar, if the 10 commandments are made up, then there's a good probability that other sections of the bible are made up. If so, then the bible can't be used by anyone to prove or disprove anything, because it's probably made up.

Personally I don't have a problem with that.

But if god condones child molestation (since it's possible) I, for one, will not worship that God.

either God is false, the bible is false, or both are false...and because we have no proof god wrote the bible i will atleast go for the part that the bible is false....the rest i cant answer....

[Japher]

we know that god didn't write the bible, people have taken credit for it

i have seen no signs that god is false or true, so i will remain undecided and vote banana.

yet, if god is false then that would logically lead to the bible being false. the big whammy is if the bible is true but god is false.

the bible should not be used as a reference to prove or disprove anything. it is a bunch of good stories that present a rather pleasant way to live your life, if taken in part. this is what most religions, based on the bible, have done.

personally, i think a lot of the bible could be true, but in the same tone a lot can be false. it is a product of the oxymoron my dad call "realistic fiction".

personally, i will not condone any religion that would even think of persecuting, harming, torturing, or singling out anyone, for any reason, regardless of how many yahoos follow or worship it. besides, the idea of worship is just silly to me.

Its not whether God wrote the Bible, its whether He inspired the people who wrote the Bible

[St Leo]

Didn't the simpson's or something have a real funny bit about that?

He couldn't remember one, so he killed Shelob with a rock.

God doesn't condemn gays.

Whether he inspired or not is really immaterial to me.
WAY WAY to many people take it literally, and with all the conflicting passages, use it to justify some real horrible thing. I gotta generally agree with Japher

I'll concede that there are some exceptions. But the church shouldn't be persecuting those, the police should be

And I have a problem with any religion that says your religion must be wrong if it's different. Especially if they feel the need to kill you to make their point.

i'm hashing out a theory that Satan is the good one, and because God was victorious, and inspired the bible, he wrote himself as the good one.

whens the last time you heard of satan rising up and raining sulphur on a village?

History is written by the winners, right?
