In the spirit of all that鈥檚 idiotic, God does credit us with having some brains which is apparently more than you have . The verses do apply when parents are reasonable and the commands are reasonable and in keeping with gods law@Forgetmeknot
@1354swrdt really. So it's my fault there's fucked up people doing fucked up shit.
I tell you what fucked the world, modern religion and specifically the pantheon that sprung from the Jews who made up heaven and hell because they had earth quake.
People who preach this stuff now aren't out there screaming the hole in the ozone layer or the swarms of animals during the pandemic or the shift in the earth are signs from God are they? Nope. So why are you following a book that was written by people who would do this?
Unless you were out there screaming this Tsunami is a punishment from God we must mend our ways then don't even chat to me about faith. And if you actually were out there screaming that or quietly saying it to yourself like I was and thinking how twisted and stupid people are in the head now days then you wouldn't be preaching "follow your parents rule" because you'd realize that most people are so lost in this world that it can be the worst advice to give anyone in these times.
@1354swrdt pantheon...first there was Judaism, then there was Christianity and then there was Islam.
People arguing over God's or even lack of God's is always tense.
Rather than except we simply don't know we get defensive and argue. Wage wars to prove points.
Really the powers that be are arguing over power and resources, always, and using religion or lack of as excuses. But there is no real fear or reverence any more for what we do not know because if there was wars would have stopped by now.
In a hundred years Scientologists will be the ones doing suicide bombing etc and Ron L Hubbard admitted he made that up yet people still follow it...I always bare that in mind.
Before the Jews had an earthquake and decided to only worship the Sky God El they had many God's. All over the world many God's... Hinduism, Paganism etc. Everyone pretty much believed the same thing with different names assigned to respective God's and that was without communication between places. This makes me think because it was like this perhaps they were right and that when the Jews decided to make only one God it's definitely made up just like Scientology.
So no I do not hate Jews or anyone in particular. To me simple logic and looking at the effects of this - two more religions worshipping one God, says they made a mistake.
@1354swrdt they wanted power and money distributed fairly. So the people with the power and the money were not giving that up easily...and they won hiding behind whatever they could hide behind including religions...the church is a powerful political power.
@1354swrdt 馃 a central committee... Quote from an old Russian woman I saw on TV as a kid "did you prefer communism or do you like it now?" Answer: "under communism I always had bread to eat. Now I am starving"
I take the old woman's words over the books financed by the rich and powerful.
