that some of the OT writers were much more sophisticated than their present day fundie fans.

Your half formed theory reminds me of my half formed theory: that the writers were all professional wine tasters.

Quote:The snippet about the talking donkey and the appearance of the talking snake ...

However, I don't see anyway of saving the fantasies about the sun standing still in the sky or iron axe heads floating in water...

Case in point



Oh and big holiday bunny hugs, Expastorman Heart

I'm just sappy, don't mind me ..
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.
