The source of all evil

RE: The source of all evil
The "source of all evil" is the morons select and twist the verses of Scripture to make their prejudices more civilized. That's the point of this thread, I think?

Well, why would you want to twist anything if everything you need is right there?
The funny thing however, christians are not obliged to uphold the law of moses, while the jews are.
For example, homosexuality is still a mortal sin, however, jewish theology actually calls for the blood of the homosexual, christianity promotes ignoring the homosexual's ways, while condemning him.
The christian cannot legally stone a sodomite, as this would signal his acceptance of the mosaic law, and he would have to eat kosher, get circumcised, and uphold the sabbath.
Yet again, Martin Luther describes in detail that the law of Moses was not given as something to be relished on.

You might have point. The bible isn't good source of morals after all.

No, I think it has some excellent points for those who choose to follow them.
I've known devout followers of a few religions and they were all quite nice and following the morals that their religion had taught them.

All written by humans, by way of delusions.

You might as well say Hitler and Stalin had some good points for those who choose to look beyond the bad.
They sorted out Germany and Russia's economies and radically reduced unemployment.

The source of evil is also the most common element in the universe - stupidity.
-paraphrasing Frank Zappa.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
