What message was that? I almost dozed off, I got him saying that we should know our neighboring tribes? well duh thats a totally done one isn't it hasn't he heard of wikipeadia, perhaps it would be better if the message was we should stop child poverty in the third world or something, how about focusing on that instead of stupid invisible sky Gods.
Believe me, if the leaders of this world really believed in God there will be no poverty in the world. If they only believed and had some reverence. It is not because of lack of food that many people have almost nothing to eat. It is because the rich countries (rich people in rich countries) want more and more money.
...we'll eventually have a religion that reflects that - and it won't be venerating the God of Abraham. I'm thinking something more along the lines of Buddhism.
I doesn't have to be Buddhism. Maybe something altogether new?Why Buddhism? :shrug:
we should not never have to blame the religions because religion does not call never for the bad actions
Religions don't teach morals, they teach you to worship and obey a psychotic god who goes around hating and murdering anyone who doesn't share the same psychoses.
We have extraordinary different views on Word of God. It is like you are saying there is no sun on the sky!
Amazingly moving and beautiful words are the words of God!
"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)
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)"
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
My personal favorite from the bible (and oft quoted, just for shits-and-giggles):
Proverbs 25:24 - It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
