The ethics of worship

[Angrboda]

There's alot of stuff the bible doesn't mention, like basic biology, for example...while it does take time to include the colored sticks theory of livestock genetics.

Obviously, what magic book does and does not contain has no relevance to what was or was not.

I say that, but here we are having a conversation about this silly flood again....so.....

Here's what I think is interesting.  What's the problem with god killing kids?  Ostensibly, if god killed kids, being god, it would be a good kill.  No?

i have no problem with god killing women or children as we in this country do it to our own adversaries. the issue i have is you people are taking a narrative from the bible adding your own personal bits to the bible narrative and then charging god for the bits you added!!!

Are you saying that you evaluate the justness of God's actions on how well it accords with popular morality?

The Book of Enoch isn't part of the Bible, sport.

While it may not have a place in cannon it is no different and j[/font]
ust as viable as supporting literature as the books of maccabees (where the jews get hanukkah from and acts as a historical document that completes the time line between the book of isaiah and the book of matthew. enoch fills in from adam to noah.

The people who decided canon say otherwise.

There you go, lead with that.

All of that hilarious lord of the rings bullshit about a baby-less earth before wasn't just silly..it had no use to you whatsoever.

You don't have a problem with baby killing.  Some of us do.  I'd go out on a limb and say that most people have a problem with that.  Can you see how, for a person who has a problem with baby killing, you and your god are a non-starter?

none of you have killing women and children/babies if it is marketed correctly to you. substitute the word baby with fetus and that little bastard does not stand a chance. it will be dead faster than it takes for the ink to dry on the consent forms. ... 1.5 billion babies aborted since just 1980.. unless your saying you are against abortion and a woman's right to choose.

There are differences between babies and fetuses. Whether or not those differences matter is debatable, but until you can demonstrate that those differences do not matter, then you cannot substitute babies with fetuses and have the same result. You don't get to just ignore inconvenient facts.
