Quote:Drowning, smashing them against stones, putting them to the sword.
This is the exact same mindset that caused lunatics to fly planes full of people into buildings full of people on 9/11.
Disgusting.
So, basically, your god can do no wrong! What kind of standard is that?
Quote:Unfortunaltly morality is not really the absolute standard you have made it out to be.
Where did I say morality was absolute? It isn't. I would just expect better than drowning babies from a deity that supposedly loves us. But since you brought it up... can you think of an occasion when drowning babies would ever be the right thing to do?
Quote:My 'deity' knows no one is 'innocent'
Oh, bullshit! What could a newborn possibly have done that would justify drowning it?
Quote:and knew who those babies would grow up to be.
So every baby that was drowned during the flood would have grown up to be evil? Keep in mind that this includes EVERY BABY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. And your argument is pathetic. This deity drowns babies because supposedly "he knew who they would grow up to be", and yet he allowed Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson and millions of other psychopathic killers to grow up and destroy lives.

Quote:Doesn't God being 'All knowing' have the responsiablity to eliminate any one person or group of people who would destroy this world/His plans for this world?
I would say he has the responsibility to eliminate any person or group of persons who would kill innocents and destroy property. So, apparently, your deity was more worried about killing babies than preventing Hitler from causing a worldwide conflagration and committing genocide.
Quote:Million if not billions more kids where cherrished love and looked after because Christian parents 'claimed God told them to watch after their children.' And unlike your 'claim' Their's is backed by actual scripture.
Oh, please. Like parents need to be told by some deity that they should watch after their children. Baboons watch after their young ones.
Quote:Actually no. All 'visions' must first be filtered through the expressed will of God.
And I'm sure if you determined that your vision was "the expressed will of Gawd", you would be ready to plunge the knife into your kid's midsection.
Quote:We don't get stem cells by killing children.
Quote:Calling unborn children by another name does not change their genius or Species.
It's true that calling unborn children by another name doesn't make them smarter. However, we do not get stem cells from unborn children. We get them from fertilized embryos. Calling them children or babies doesn't make them so.
Quote:Oh, the Irony/Hyprocrisy here. You rant about the philosiphical implications of completely yeilding to God and even go so far as parade out a limric to support you idea of what is 'right'
You obviously have no idea of what a "limric" (sic) is. FYI, they usually go something like this:
There once was twit named Hood
who said, "My book contains everything good!"
But the pages have filling,
like slavery, incest and killing.
Piss on his book! Yes, we should!
I'm sure you'll agree that what I posted was not a limerick.
Quote:To perserve the rights of babies, and yet all you or your morality need to do is change what a baby is called, and then you can justify anything you wish to do to them. If God commanded 10,000 no 100,000 babies to be smashed against stones, drown, or put to the sword, and He is called wicked. How much more wicked is the generation who put millions of babies to death under the banner of "planned parenthood?" And all they had to do to square this slaughter is renamed an unborn baby a fetus (Which is latin for unborn baby.) Yet God is the one being called evil, for bring these children home. Judge not lest you be judged in the same way you've seen fit to judge others.. If you are a supporter of harvesting stem cells from murdered babies or if you support the right to eliminate an unwanted baby, then perhaps YOU might want to take it easy on judgeing God for the act of killing babies in the name of an act that you think is intrinsically wrong.
And here we have the anti-abortion screed I was expecting. Yawn.
Quote:Because even if the bible is very clear and say "x" is a sin and "Y" is not some people still may have doubts about "Y" therfore for them it is a sin to do "Y."
This makes no sense. This like the law saying "It is permissable to drive through a green light, but it is not permissable to drive through a red light". And people have doubts about driving through a green light, so they won't drive through one.
Huh?
If your Babble is "very clear" there would be no doubt.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
