I'm awfully interested in why you decided to phrase this as though the only thing stopping your religion from becoming a violent theocracy is the law?
Somewhat telling, that.
That's what I thought when I read it too! Funny how if the Constitution were ripped to pieces I'd still respect his right to religious freedom but I'd be in danger from the Christians!
I've heard a few statements from Christians this year as a matter of fact, to that effect-- including calling for the deaths of gays (my own father and my friends father).
I've seen someone literally tear up at the thought of how Israel and the Jews are "gods chosen people", and in the same breath offered a romanticized notion to blow up a mosque to die for those Jews.
Regularly and often I hear this same offhand threat used by Christians, too--to the effect of, "Respect the Constitution and my right to have a gun, because without it I'd be shooting you with that same gun, you. ________atheist/gay/liberal/politically correct person________. "
I don't consider the Bible benign, anymore. Any question in my mind has been concreted by the mindsets of fervent Christians and a review of history. History has proven time and time again, that when unleashed, the Bible is used for genocide and oppression.
Ronedee, you should be ashamed of yourself. I am no danger to you but if given the chance, you would be to me. I'm a better person on the inside, than you, because I am an atheist.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
