In response to what I can tell you ARE referring to:Uh huh.... 2 of every "kind", and fuck the rest of them. So is that a yes, you're totally onboard and you think flooding the earth would be a great idea?
Noah's flood - from reading Genesis, you can tell that the world was in just the worst place its ever been in. God was under no obligation to let things keep going - I imagine you have a sense of justice, which is great. But God has more mercy than anyone, than EVERYONE, so the flood was done for the purposes of cleansing the world, and notice that the world still goes on today because it wasn't an end. "Every living creature" implies an end that neither of us believe happened, esp. since 2 of every kind went on the ark.
Quote:The bears and the youths - What's presented in the Bible in that section is that the youths who make fun of Elijah aren't just your ordinary kids, but actual gang members who were a plague on the city at the time. So they're not as innocent as most people see them as.So, another idea that you think has merit? Perhaps we should fire cops and release grizzlies in the inner city?
Quote:Inciting wars - same idea as Noah's ark, except God gave nations chances to turn away from their evil ways repeatedly, and they never did. He just chose to bring about justice through other nations, showing dominion over the hearts of men.Ah yes, ethnic cleansing as justice. Heil Jehovah!
Quote:If you want to hear me address your other points, please be a little more specific as to what you're referring to.No need, you've demonstrated that at least in some cases..the contention that christians are better than their god is wrong. You're no better at all.
