@DavidBianchet2 = The biblical God character is an evil racist homicidal maniac.

@BlueSkyKing oh, I forgot the most important one - He asked us to love our enemies.
@DavidBianchet2
What superior moral advice did Jesus actually bequeath to us? Here are some examples:

Don’t have sexual urges. (Matthew 5:28)
If you do something wrong with your eye or hand, cut/pluck it off. (Matthew 5:29 spoken in a sexual context)
Marrying a divorced woman is committing adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
Don’t save money. (Matthew 6:19–20)
Don’t plan for the future. (Matthew 6:34)
Don’t become wealthy. (Mark 10:21–25)
Sell everything you have and give it to the poor. (Luke 12:33)
Don’t work to obtain food. (John 6:27)
Make people want to persecute you. (Matthew 5:11)
Let everyone know you are better than the rest. (Matthew 5:13–16)
Take money from those who have no savings and give it to rich investors. (Luke 19:23–26)
If someone steals from you, don’t try to get it back. (Luke 6:30)
If someone hits you, invite them to do it again. “Turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5:39)
If you lose a lawsuit, give more than the judgment. (Matthew 5:40)
If someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles. (Matthew 5:41)
If anyone asks you for anything, give it to them without question. (Matthew 5:42)

Is this good advice? How many Christians teach these lessons to their children?

@BlueSkyKing Jesus sponged off of his rich buddies and he never gave a penny to a poor person.

I am. I hope to meet a loving Father version of God...one who loves ALL of us, and who WANTS to forgive us.
DavidBianchet2 · 56-60, M
@4meAndyou yes, that's the Father Jesus was talking about
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
God is right here with us now.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
@DavidBianchet2 Well they are both true. There are just more sources for Jesus than there are for Genghis Khan, yet Genghis Khan is more widely studied/taught in academic settings. Why?
DavidBianchet2 · 56-60, M
@MrSmooTh but, by answering, I'm agreeing to your terms. "...they are both true"
I don't agree that Genghis Khan is for real, dude.

@MrSmooTh Brah God is not on SW

@chernobylplaygr0unds in people or things?
@DavidBianchet2 in everything...it's in the way people can show real kindness ...it's in nature ...it's in children and grandparents
Lostpoet · M
@chernobylplaygr0unds I see it in coffee sometimes
@MrSmooTh Disagree. Historical sources outside the bible for Jesus are lacking. Genghis Khan has far more documentation.
DavidBianchet2 · 56-60, M
@BlueSkyKing this looks like an intentional distraction. You are referring to a conversation we had on another thread.
@DavidBianchet2 There is great doubt that Socrates existed. He authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous accounts of classical writers.
DavidBianchet2 · 56-60, M
@BlueSkyKing you are speaking nonsense. I suggest seeking psychiatric help.

Nobody living can see God it's in the bible.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Lostpoet Meanwhile, Jacob reading this like "I guess I'm nobody."
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@Lostpoet
Nobody living can see God it's in the bible.
Moses saw God all the time, face to face. Moses and his pals went on a pinic with God but all his pals saw was God's butt.

People saw Jesus and some claim that he is God.
Lostpoet · M
@Diotrephes God in living flesh.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Is this a trick? Like, if I say yes, are you going to shoot me?
DavidBianchet2 · 56-60, M
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@DavidBianchet2 I KNEW IT!
