SWEET! Leviticus 25:44-46 says I can own slaves, as long as they're not my own people.
I'm sick to death of mowing my own lawn or having to pay someone to do it.
And to think, I was about to invest in a new lawn tractor!
Yep, feel free to do whatevvvvver you want. You could even (if you're in the market for a wife), rape a girl you like and pay a fine. Then she will become your wife!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
