What godly miracle would it take?
#31
RE: What godly miracle would it take?
Sure what would be godly of god: so let's say that he or she appeared on Earth few thousand years ago and organized school to teach people real science and science method and then also how to use that science for good having always in mind what is best for the people. He doesn't waste time and people's minds with primitive and very divisive doctrines of sin that forbid silly stuff that are not necessarily illegal and not necessarily wrong like the thinking of impure thoughts or touching urine or gay marriages that unnecessarily put people on the spot who could otherwise give valuable contribution to society.
So he would also he be a social teacher showing people how to be moral, teach them that slavery is bad and when he gets attacked, by let's say Romans, because he teaches that slavery is bad he stops them with his supernatural powers that they stand aghast and see that he is worth listening to, but even going beyond cheap tricks and in like cases of slavery showing that it can be avoided by technology and common sense.
So he wouldn't live on Earth just few years or decades but centuries, until he makes sure people got it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
