Are you man enough...

Yeah, it's pretty big on smiting. Impulse to destroy and sexual obsession - signs of a character that never got laid.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
This chapter doesn't refer to individuals, but rather it's symbolic language used throughout much of the old testement. The prostitutes represent the nation of Israel, which was unfaithful to God and made alliances with pagan nations and adopted their religions. The language stresses the disgust which God and the prophet Ezekiel had toward Israel. What was wrong with using that language? The old testament world was not as civilized as the world is today. We want to make God into who we think he should be, but he is who he is. A loving God also can be an angry god.

You say no no, it's all symbolic it really means watermelon, you guys just think it's apple because you want to make god into who you think he is. Completely disregarding the fact that the verses in fact said apple. 
Wow. WOW. Wowowow. Wow. Anyway, WOW.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

And what evidence do you have to support your claim that it means something over than what is written? ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Something about the text is inspired and you have to have the spirit to truly understand and ... Of course, that sounds like special pleading and confirmation bias.

You asked the question and I answered it. If you're really interested, google a bible commentary by a respected bible scholar. In fact, google a commentary by a non-Christian bible scholar. If you don't believe, I understand, but you're making ignorant comments about something you know nothing about.
