but entirely leaves out the New Testament.
Well as time passes, morals change. The further ahead in time you go, the more we will agree with them. Besides, most of the new testament is just chronicaling (Spelled wrong most likely, i'm going to head to bed after this) the life of Jesus and his apostles, not claiming new laws or sins. Revelations is the most picked on of that group for being the most crazy sounding, the rest read fairly normally, if at times a little absurd.
It meant death as in eternal death
Bull ****. You're just reading what you want out of that. Where in
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB) Do you see "eternal death?" I see "Put to death" which sounds imminentm and "Forfeited their lives" which sounds imminent as well.
@Kasic-Men arent aroused by other men. it's human nature
Except for Gay people who are. What, do you think every "gay" person just randomly decided to sin? No, they did it because they were excited by it, like most guys are by girls.
So what your saying is a robber can be "bi". So in other words he can be taker and a giver.
That's a pretty poor analogy, as it has nothing to do with feelings, just actions.
Because they were born that way.
Greedy or needy would be the only things I could think of that motivate robbers most often.
And also if you have a problem with the faith and not the people, then why are you wasting your time trying to prove us wrong?
"Okay Christianity, I think you're wrong, what do you have to say about that?" *Silence* I can't very well argue with the faith itself, and it's not a living thing. I'm arguing with you because one, there's a topic for it here, two, I feel it's important that people don't waste their lives bowing and scraping and depending on something that I do not believe exists, and four, because some people here are so blatently wrong with some things that it's hard to not correct them.
Obviously you have a problem with us
No, not in particular, although Shift is becoming annoying by completely ignoring my posts and then accusing me of doing the very same to his. I do have a problem with people who act upon what their faith says that I feel is wrong, such as punishing gay people.
This post, as thepyro222 said, please no athiests and no insults.
It's a public forums, you can't bar people from posting. Also, I am not insulting anyone personally, I am just picking away at the faith itself. I use what it says against itself, and point out the contradictions/moral things wrong with what it says in its holy text.
You're simply insulting us by trying to cripple our faith.
If you don't like looking at your faith shown not in a praising way, and shown as what it actually claims not in a way that covers those things wrong with it, then i'm sorry, the truth hurts. I AM trying to cripple faith however, but not in any malicious way. I am trying to dispell the blind acceptance religion requires and make you look critically at your own faith. I don't care if you still believe it, I have never harassed someone for believing in thier religion alone and I never will, but I will argue against it if such an argument arises. I have no problem with the majority of religious people who stick to their own faith and do not cause any harm, I think that's their right to believe it. But when religion asserts itself, tries to pass laws based on it's own moral codes that are independent of societies, that's when I have a problem with it. When religion is used as an excuse to hate, that's when there's a problem.
So if were "brainwashed" so are you.
Do you really think that any sane person would not prefer to spend eternity after death in paradise? No. But beleiving in a fairy tale does no good.
