Actually no. It's from John 14:2

Quote:The house of Atredies?

is first identified in the Iliad and then later the all popular dune. As John 14 cam first there would be a continuity issue if you claimed the orange bible from dune came first.

Quote:I just loves me reading the bible,

From what I see, is you haven't really studied the bible much at all, but you do seem to love bible commentary that addresses surface readings.

Quote:it has so many parallels with Iain Banksies' culture novels.

or maybe you are not able to remove intent from action is your judgement of others. that is if you see Gods actions any differently than how any one of banksies characters franky got on with his clock face of doom. yet I'd be willing to wage a year's saladry that in your own life you have relabeled evil/cruelty and can excuse your actions without thinking twice about them. Meaning in your own life you have an equally horrid clock face of doom that you yourself have directly or indrectly contributed to the deaths of innocent people, and more like franky than God see the clock works and the wasps choosing which number to die under as being totaly apart from anything you do in your life.

(Remember banksie wrote this to describe the human condition/it took a douche bag to cut up God's character and made it stick to Him.)

This just makes you closed minded and petty because you can not see how it applies to your first... How it applies to your wester way of life, the way you gather and eat food, how you life revolves around cheap consumer goods, how you can live a life and not know anything of basic survival. How all of that has been places on the far lower casts of 3rd world people to provide you with your consumer goods. So you don't have to struggle as they do and life a life balanced daily between living and dying.

why else would anyone like you willingly admit to this? Unless you think by simply mentioning some obscure cutrual reference somehow makes you better than someone with out google. pleze bruh. (Generation X called they want their form of 'good will hunting' im smautur than you au cause I can talk about shit that that I plagerized from someone else..) Here's the kicker "doom-ass" in 50 years or so you will want to start to do your own thinking, but because you used all these other men's thoughts and claimed them as your own. you will be stuck with their ultimate conclusions.

Actually I'd call it a spoon full of ricky gervace with some hints of monty python with a slathering of a ton of unorginal crap. Again point? you have personally discredited the source material with the thoughts of others. meaning you have no way to generate an honest opinion unless you first discretit those in whom you used, which unless you learn to live apart from all the pop culture you referenced will not be possible for a mind as closed as the one you have created.

It's possible, but by no means guaranteed.  Sometimes people emigrate to get away from the old customs, or to have the freedom to start new ones.

It does strike me as a bit odd that the Israelites would condemn the Canaanites but glorify the Abraham/Isaac story arc and the murder of the Egyptian firstborn.

Drich, that post is even more incoherent than the one you are replying to.
But thanks for letting me know what I was up to that night. I did wonder.

I didn't say the Bible was wrong. The only way you get to that is if the Bible says enslaving others against their will is immoral. It does not. Therefore your inference is wrong. 

Human sacrifice is immoral.

Really? The bible says that enslaving others is perfectly OK and even provides rules for doing so. In fact god commands it.

As for human sacrifice, one need look no further than the daughter of Jepthah. (dead)

Or Lot. Rape my daughters why not.

Incest? All good in the bible.

Rape? Kill the victim.

Genocide? Kill them all, but keep the virgin girls as your sluts.

These are the horrible things in the bible.

These are also the things that the bible claims are "moral".

There is only one God, you can ignore the others and whether you admit it or not you are rejecting Christ and pacing yourself in eternal danger.

You are pitiful, you think you could kill  the God who created the universe, the God who blink you away by a thought. Immoral thug, atheist say that morality is what each one sees as right, yet you would deny the One who created you the same right. Seeing Him and believing He is real and not worshiping Him will still and you in hell.

God is not a definition, He is who He is by His nature. Really no special consideration, you mean to tell me you consider everyone in your life the same, I highly doubt that. God created us with many desires and a will, He gave us some of His attributes.

God doesn't choose your destination, He does enforce your choice, so if you do not change you should be preparing yourself for a life eternal of torment, a torment worse that an everlasting fire.

Abbadon_ire Wrote:Who created a hell to which he could consign the unbelievers? Who then threatened that place upon those to whom he had not revealed himself. Does that sound "loving" to anyone.

God created a place for the unbelieving to live for eternity, each individual there will have created their own hell by the way they lived this life and their blatant rejection of Christ. God doesn't threaten, He doesn't have to. God gave everyone a choice that has heard about Christ, those who have not will receive a special judgement based on the life they lived. So you haven't been threatened. You have heard about Christ and you have a choice to make, heaven or hell all depends on you.

Abbadon_ire Wrote:Bible god is amazingly puny. According to the bible, he is not omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent. and strangely unable to deal with iron chariots, for some reason.

Now your being plain stupid, the Bible most certainly describes as omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. He who created the universe could be nothing less. God wouldn't destroy the chariots because of Israel's sin. Try reading the Bible before you make a fool of yourself, how do you propose to argue against something you know nothing about.

Of coarse I can't prove everything, if you thought that was a possibility you wouldn't have made the statement you did. Faith comes first to those who do not know God, later God gives His children of inheritance knowledge the truth of scriptures, I have a knowledge you can't understand. How do I know this, you can't understand the simplest things of scripture.

Abbadon_ire Wrote:Start with that lot. Then we can go on to how your scripture is unable to even agree with itself, gets basic things wrong, and swipes itself from pretty much every other religion in the region at the time.

Oh, and talking donkeys and unicorns and dragons and so forth. That will be a bucket of metaphorical fun.

 You haven't shown any contradictions in the scriptures. The other religions have no idea who the God of the Bible is and it is He who inspired the words written. I know the Bible starting with the OT is not as old as some writings, the Hebrews passed down much through the years before their release from Egypt by stories through remembrance.

The Creator of the universe can do anything with animals He pleases and we do not know if some of the words of the old Hebrew have been translated correctly and the same goes for all ancient languages.

Maybe that's because you answer don't really answer anything, spouting wrath and hellfire and claiming you have a hotline to god to understand what we cannot, answers nothing.

Seriously?

GC, this is a forum, not your living room.  You don't get to say whether or not a conversation is "meant for" anyone.

God is all-knowing, so why did he put the tree there at all, knowing what would happen?
But anyway, according to the story those were the first people, so they had to continue, that's my guess.

Just to select some nuggets of the insanity peppers...

Wait what? Allah does not count? Or Buddha? Wow.

And "Christ" never existed and continues to not exist. Quelle surprise.
You seem to think that you have a lock on god. So far, nobody has even come close to demonstrating any of the thousands of gods exist. Perhaps you will be the first.

How do you know that? You claim to know the mind of god, but how do you know that?

After that, in true christian fashion, you descend into insults and utter bollocks. I cannot stop you from doing so. For example, you said
"You haven't shown any contradictions in the scriptures. ". Well, I didn't think I had to explicitly point that out since the bible quite plainly cannot agree with itself, but if you want to go there, I'm game.

Start with Genesis 1 and 2. Both cannot agree with each other and we know both are flat out wrong. 

And you know what is ahead.

Human sacrifice is immoral.

And yet the New Testament celebrates it as the most moral thing a single human has ever done.
