Pat Robertson says it's ok to ignore parts of the Bible.

[Taqiyya Mockingbird]

Question to other members of the forum: Is this guy a poe or just an asshole who wants to believe that that the Bible isn't as nasty as it is?

He's a cunt.

Poe's Law is for X-tard Fundie websites. What he is, is a troll.

He was banned at AFC for the same tomfuckery he moved over here to perpetrate on y'all.

They don't put up with near as much bullshit as the folks here.

Why did you leave off the last part?

It's called editing. I edited your response down to one single aspect, of one question i chose to respond to. Like with the rest of the post i am now responding to. i chose to simply ignore the rest.

Why? Because I am not here to argue personal philosophies or how you 'feel' about God. In short I am not here to take anything from you or make you believe as I do. i am here to simply answer biblically based questions. as only one part of one question had anything to do with the bible. i choose to address it in such a way as to help me discern whether or not you (Or anyone else) was actually interest in in why slavery is not an 'all bad thing.' (because it is a rather lengthy explanation and I am not going to throw my pearls before swine) As you saw fit to rehash your desire to engage in a personally fueled pride based arguement, You have empowered me the option to either dismiss the rest of your efforts, or I can explain myself in such a way as to make you look the fool for predictably responding to my baited post. what to do next..

Drich. Do you condone slavery?

Your hook is still without bait. You came to me in this thread and I wasn't even fishing.

Pearls before swine, give me a break. Why do you parade around as if I have never read the best selling book of all time? What's next? John 3:16? Or was this your covert way of saying I'm not worthy?

My personal feelings about your God are not in play here, what is (and has been) up for discussion is how your God, throughout the Bible, treats the concept of slavery. You are at an impasse.

You can either admit that your God is a cunt on this point and join the rest of humanity, or you can continue to condone slavery because the thousands year old character that men invented in order to control the crowd assumed slavery was a normal part of existence.

There's no silly scriptual dance out of your choice here.

Yuuup!

I sincerely hope you are kidding.

remember Slavery in the OT is not what was being labeled as Slavery in America.
(Despite how some wish to trivialize and dismiss The Recorded Law of the OT Jew, and Historical facts about Pre civil war America.)
So why is biblically based slavery not always bad? Because, Biblically based slavery establishes the paradigm between believer and our Lord and Master. To understand How OT Jews were to treat their slaves is to understand how to balance this life with what is expected of us, Verses how it is we have been freed. Otherwise if you simply say all slavery is bad, then you simply give up one master for another (who's more oppressive than the last/Sin for Legalistic Religions of Man. Which have little to do with God.)

We are slaves to sin. the Majority of you who have any Christian experience i would say that ALL Slavery is Bad all of the time. Yet you only know of an oppressive God who's yoke is more oppressive than the sin you believe you can control. But the opposite is true. Because you believe that all Slavery is always bad none of you have learn to submit as a (OT) slave to God. It is only as a slave (God's definition of the word, not ours) that we will ever know true freedom. But because we are a slave to sin (and do not know it) we can only see the oppression of the religions that choose to represent God, and think they are one in the same. Why? Because we have taught ourselves to cast off all Masters, and by doings so have sold ourselves into true slavery.(But because you do not know what true slavery is you can not identify it) If you can not identify it you can not free yourself from it/sin (If you believe this to be false try living one day without sin) and you can not turn to God for help because you have mis identified Him as a Oppressive Master. Thus dooming you for an eternity, simply because you have closed your mind to a single word and it's true meaning.

I cannot contain my rage. Excuse me, but slavery is wrong. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Would you like to know why? Because NO ONE has the right to STEAL a person's life. That's so fucked in the head... I can't even begin to process that sick kind of Stockholm Syndrome you have. People are not livestock. You can't barter with human lives. That's unacceptable. If you love slavery so fucking much, maybe you should be a real slave. Don't worry, all the rules from the Bible would be followed. You'd only be beaten within [i]inches[/] of you life. You'll be fine in a few days and that's a-okay with the Bible! And you'll only lose all freedoms and personal choice for 6 years. No big. You might be forced to marry and have kids (and then leave them behind or be a slave forever), but who cares?! Slavery is fucking awesome!


You are filth. FILTH. But guess what? I still wouldn't wish the hell that is slavery on you. Develop some empathy, you sick prick.

Drich, you are more hopeless and pitiful than a balding well nourished Chia Pet.

[Kayenneh]

Really Drich? You actually have the stomach to compare a human being owned by another without any control of his/her life to being 'slave' to a concept that doesn't even exist outside of your belief? For shame! You absurd, pompous and insolent fool!

[Minimalist]

Yep a sick bastard...which is pretty typical of the ilk.
