RE: Ten Reasons I'm Not a Christian

Jesus did not obolish the law; they still exist. However, he did fulfill the law by taking everyone's punishment for its desecration. The Qur'an wasn't written by followers of christ. The arguement here is the morality of the Protestant Bible, not that of the Qu'ran or the Jewish orthodox bible....
To Moros: Once again, you pull one act of people appearing to represent christianity to try to debunk it. These people were not acting as Christ would have. I donnot deny that religion is capable of evil (as religion is built by humans), I do deny, however, that if everyone followed the teaching of Christ, that there would be no evil... Regardless; shall we start to weigh the evil done by the religion of christianity, vs. the good? Im all for it... Also; where did you get your profile picture animation? I would very much like to have it

Quote:I have known for a long time that god said to put homosexuals to death. That is common knowledge.
So, how many have you killed Flakey? After all, he's your fucking god and if you believe he said something why are you not out acting on your divine dictator's will every waking moment? For that matter, why aren't you killing people who work on the Sabbath or eat shellfish?
Could it be that you are simply full of shit?

You apperently didn't read the rest of my post. So I will repost it here...
I have known for a long time that god said to put homosexuals to death. That is common knowledge. It is easy to poke holes in something when you take it out of context, isn't it? Those books were books of law for the people pre-jesus era. Those laws were necessary to forge the path of humanity. However, Jesus understood the evil of scripture twisting and the theocracy existing at the time. That's why he came; to challenge the church and be sacrificed. He paid the price of homosexuality; therefore the death penalty for homosexuality no longer applies.

Why jeebus, in his absolute omnipotence (or is it impotence) prevent this from occurring in the 1st place? Why the need for the drama?

Those books are books of law for the people pre-jesus era...and that's where the bible as a whole should stay. Until God can give an updated version for 2012 then the bible should not be taken seriously as it is outdated and irrelevant for our times.
~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~
~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~

Wait, wait, executing homosexuals was a necessary step in "forging the path of humanity"?
Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you, you're not worth any more of my time.

Then, Rhythm, stop responding to my posts.
To Larissa: You are correct; much of the laws pre-jesus are meant to be disregarded. It's jesus' teachings of love and compassion that apply to us now. I find it hard to believe that you would disagree with jesus' teachings.
