Quote:Not unless I were an old testament literalist. We look to Jesus when trying to imagine how God is like. His examples, His teachings... dying for us, etc.
So just ignore the awful stuff and say "well that was the OT so.... or" well don't take it literally " . As for jesus he's not much better . And no being willing to go through a long weekend of pain to pay for a stupid rule is hardly an example . And nothing he taught was unique . I could think of a hundred mere humans who were more impressive and of greater good then Jesus . And they didn't do there good via magic god powers .And they didn't get brought back to life they stayed dead .
Gods don't impress me . Men do . The Universe does . But not gods . Even if a god made universe I would regard it as an insult to the universe . Even if a God created men then I say it's an insult to men . A universe forge by physics that's impressive .A universe forge by magic is just boring .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
