Well, they break a lot more than just one, but this one in particular is quite obvious.
The second command says "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them."
Well, your god is in "the heaven above", so is any other god who visited the Earth before your god did. Also, you keep claiming your god is in everything that is part of the Earth - the rocks, the water, the air and so on. But this command says you can not worship anything that is part of the planet. So basically your god commands you not to worship him either thus contradicting his own first command. And what about the "carved image" part? He commands you not to make a carved image of ANYTHING and yet you (christians) keep producing statues of christ and all sorts of things with his presumable face. So, the way I see it - you constantly break his law.
Let's skip to the 6th command - "you shall not kill". And yet it wasn't just one or two times when I was threatened with death by christians because I refuse to accept the bullshit they believe.
So, if my refusal to accept your bullshit makes me sinner, it turns out you're even more sinful than I am.
Nearly everything you have said is true. Your evaluation of how many Christians live their faith is at best a poor example to model to the world. It is disheartening that the Christians in your life have behaved in such a poor manner.
It does encourage me that you sought out and found a translation of the bible to read for yourself. I would like to point out that it is not by our "bullshit" that should be the metric you evaluate Christianity upon.
I would direct you to the life that Christ modeled. Mostly found in the books of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. This is the standard we should aspire to.
My original question concerning credible death threats may have come across with the air of disbelief. I was looking for clarity. I see you hail from Bulgaria and not the US as listed in your profile. I have been threatened with my untimely demise several times in this life. Credibly by my account. Only once because of my Christianity when I was in the Middle East, never when in Europe or the US.
I would willingly engage in a public or private dialogue with you concerning the bible if you ever desire. I do believe it to be God's revelation to us. Much of he reason I am here is to share that with any who are interested. I promise that I will never threaten you with the loss of your life for not agreeing, liking, or refuting anything I have to say on the matter.
What say you sir?
