Quote:God is no more judgmental than any government in history. All governments use violence to achieve peace and stability. If they didn't there would be anarchy.
Once more, your only recourse is to justify your god's flaws by equivocating him with allegedly inferior humans.
Quote:The Bible does not require Christians to literally follow all the details of the mosaic law.
Yes, it does. Let's revisit Matthew 5, so you understand that, if your God is real, he's going to be very unhappy with your half-assed devotion.
“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
The law still holds.
“For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Earth is still here, and the events in Revelation are supposed to happen in the future. All is not yet accomplished.
“Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
All those weak-kneed Christians who lack the stomach to murder disobedient children, or tells others it is wrong to murder disobedient children, have a lot of explaining to do when they meet the Psychopath-in-Chief face-to-whatever.
Why would Jesus even bother saying any of this if it didn't actually apply to his followers after a year or two?
