There's a period between his curse and his observation of bears eating children. He didn't praise God for it afterwards either, like he did every other time God showed his awesome salt pillar powers. You atheists and your crazy bible quotes
So I take it that non-denominational = Cherry picker
Cherry picker: Ill ignore the bad stuff or stuff I dont agree with and act like it dont matter even though the Bible it self states in 2Timothy 3:16 That all scripture is god breathed and usefull for teaching.....ect... Well it tought me that the Christain god is a DICK and IF he was real I would still not warship him in any fashion.
Yes breathed (read as breathed life into or inspired) by God. It teaches good lessons, like don't go acting all loud and obnoxious around 2 she bears. There was no attributing it to God. You're inferring beacuse he cursed them in God's name (not very Christian from a NT viewpoint) God came and did something about it.
As far as cherry picking... you're citing the verse, I'm just helping you to better understand it. I try not to cite scripture unless absolutely relevant and usually prefer to use whole chapters because context is the most important. Let's get aconcensus, anyone who's spoke with me at length.. do I cherry pick verses?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
