This is incontrovertible proof that God is evil. God does not live by his own golden rule.

Sigh.

Only fools believe the bible literally.

Our friend seems to be ignoring the little bit of wisdom in the bible that says we are like God in the mental sense.

Agreed.

As mentioned before, taking such things literally can be a mistake. The Bible was written by men with very specific preconceptions.

Indeed as well as an agenda.

Note how to Jews, Eden was our place of elevation to God like status.

They have become as Gods etc., while Christianity corrupted that elevation by calling it a fall.

The Jews were on the mark and the Christians missed the target altogether.

Given how much faith the Jewish religion places on the Old Testament, safe to say that both missed the mark to a very large degree.

 

Jews show that they have no faith at all in their old myths. Most are closer to atheists than theists. At least on their left wing. The right wing is as usual, more backwards thinking.

First, most Jews recognize their holy books as myths, and secondly, a Rabbi of the oral tradition can overrule any of the written Torah.

That puts them a cut above idol worshiping Christians.

You don't have to read those parts of it if you believe in Jesus.

 

True but the majority seem to.

Those, to me, who would use Jesus as their scapegoat are morally corrupt.

As Ingersoll said; 'no man would be fit for heaven who would consent that an innocent person should suffer for his sin.'

That's a pretty ambiguous phrase. What does "putting man above God" mean in the context of whether God is constrained by laws?

 

Guess I'm not fit for heaven, then. I can live with that.

 

There's no need for subservience in either direction. If man is god, why would you seek to make man subservient to man?
No, my family doesn't run on "might makes right".

 

Was/am not saying I/we are applying any particular set of morals to any particular group/god/situation.

Said see no problems in comparisons.

Not interested in applying any particular set of morals to any particular group/god/situation.

 

But not believing in Jesus is bad in itself, just as much as the ones who scapegoated Jesus.

 

No worse than not believing in any of the other great many prophets/incarnations/versions of God out there.

If you believe in Vishnu, and the result of your belief is to live a life of forgiveness, charity and peacemaking, then you are living up to the standards of most religions - even if your belief comes under the heading of a different name.

 

The result of belief is paradise, and destiny.

 

For everyone? Suicide bombers, Christian terrorists, pedophile priests?

 

Pacifism is the trait of the honest faithful and the all mighty. I guess if Satan were an angel, they would have faith things.

 

Satan is an angel. (according to many accounts)

 

So no heaven for soldiers?

In Christianity, he was an angel.

 

It means that we can constrain God and God cannot complain unless he shows up.

We can do that with all Gods as they are all human constructs.

As long as you are not the innocent victim. Right?

If you can sit back and allow someone to take what is due to you, then you have no honor or morals.
