What if religion was the right answer to all modern problems ? [Spirituality & Religion]

I mean with all our problems maybe we humans don't really know what's good for us and we were created to relay on a higher power naturally.

We were created.
Man could not possibly create a Living God.
The Laws would help guide us in this design of creation that
we don't have a clue about.

We needed a God to come up with shit like this:

"If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her .... then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."

Dueteronomy 25 11-12

@Faerylight: What is your point. Do you pretend to know the Bible?
SW-User
I think my point is clear :-D

@Faerylight:  If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

(You don't fuck with an Israelites cock...or his automobile)

Straight to execution!

@Faerylight: The Old Testament Laws were different then when Jesus came.
In the Old Teatament the Israelites were a witness to the whole world about the righteousness of God. They were the witness to the truth. I still think you cherry pick verses and act like you know something you don't.

@Pfuzylogic: I picked one example among many where the man made rules of the OT were ludicrous. You may wish to spend your time justifying why God was so concerned with nuts, wanted people to kill their disobedient children, ordered genocides or clarifying when bashing a slave becomes unacceptable (if the slave dies) - but don't admonish me as not knowing what I'm talking about.

I know exactly what I'm talking about and I think it's bosh

The modern world has done a much better job than the ancient Israelites of coming up with laws to govern society

God must be held to a higher standard. There is no room for the ludicrous. Even a ludicrous cherry.

@Faerylight: God is very real.
you don't know the Bible let alone the Holy Spirit of the Bible.
you might think you are an expert but You have no ability of going back in time and proving anything that you think is true. you might have faith in something but it is less founded.
you will leave in the scientist that was a fraud the world public. I will believe something that I know it's true even if there are people that taunt my faith as unfounded.
Say hi to Lucy the missing link one fried of science and also say hi to life on Mars which was actually a contamination in the laboratory. they didn't of dark matter (which is 95% of of the mass) until recently.
Stephen Hawking wants to be a priest unless you didn't see the U2 concert in Paris recently on HBO.

Right. You can't justify it, can you?
Pfuzylogic · M
@Faerylight: A bit cryptic, what are you talking about justifying?
SW-User
Why 'God made laws ' are needed and better - given the ones claimed to be by God in both the Quran and Bible are pretty crazy - and what God is doing fretting over acts of nut grabbing to the extent he feels compelled to specify "show her no mercy"-along with his command to cut off the hand of anyone engaging in such an act

And why just during a fight? Shouldn't this nut grabbing legislation be universal?

Your response is that I don't know the Bible

I do, but that argument isn't relevant

People are stirred
Moved by the Word
Kneel at the shrine
Deceived by the wine

How was the earth conceived?
Infinite Space
Is there such a place?
You must believe in the human race

Can you believe
God makes you breathe?
Why did he lose
Six million Jews?

Touched by the wings
This angel brings
Sad winter storm
Grey autumn dawn

Who looks on life itself?
Who lights your way?
Only you can say
How can you just obey?

Don't need the word
Now that you've heard
Don't be afraid
Man is man-made

And when the hour comes
Don't turn away
Face the light of day
And do it your way

It's the only way

There are no real antediluvian artifacts.

As you know that Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not to be trivialized.
@Vetrov Why are you on my thread?

Two thousand years ago l would have been crucified.
Twelve hundred years ago l would have been beheaded.
Eight hundred years ago l would have been burned at the stake.
Three hundred years ago l would have been satirised.
Today l would be beheaded.
