Re: Err...
If God is God, then he cannot in any possible way be a jerk/dick/a-hole etc. God himself ordained what is right. He created morality and fairness and is in every way perfect. No matter -what- he does he is always right, if he is God. Our own morals are obsolete compared to his Truth. God, even with...

If life is so worthless that can be arbitrarily used by God to set an example, or to make room to a group of people he sets as chosen ones, what is the point of living, anyhow? And why is killing babies ok for God and not for us? Because if it is such a good thing for the baby to be killed while he...

I'm not planning on publishing, actually. Well, this story, at least. I just wanted to see what you guys thought, because I figured no other people would take me seriously with my other writings, and you guys don't know me personally, so you may take me seriously. Like I said, this was the unedited ...

I was totally baffled once. One lady was arguing with us on my mission, and she said the only thing we need to do is be saved is to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. (in hindsight, why was she even arguing with us? Was her point that we will be condemned for doing more? ) We asked if such a person...

Re: Introversion and Extroversion
What are you : an introvert or extrovert? Do you ever find yourself wishing you were the opposite? Do you tend to surround yourself with like-personalities, the opposite, or an even mix? I am an introvert and for the longest time, certain people led me to believe there was something wrong with me b...

So God made the jewish his chosen people. And in exchange for the honor of worshipping Him, he would have them wander in the desert for many years. And if they didn't worship Him enough, then he would raise other nations to destroy them. And if they worshiped Him enough, he would give them supernat...

Well, I feel that there are two parts to your question. Whether or not, and if so, why we have religious practices, and whether or not we believe in God and why, so I will address it in order, relatively speaking. 1. So I have religious practices... the normal Jewish things, you know, going to Passo...

So I was rereading Ender's Shadow for the... 7 gagillionth time... and I thought that I would be able to write OSC and get him to read my assignment which I thought he might like....

Is God a Jack@ss?
You know what I have figured out? God is a d!ck I think I said that, or maybe I heard it somewhere, but either way, it turns out that many people have mixed thoughts on God's own morality. For instance, a lot of people refer to the "Old Testament God" as the one who punishes any and all s...

Sorry I have not read the whole thread, but here my response goes: I had actually just responded to a previous thread I am about to quote when I saw this. Interestingly enough... The only sin that is unforgiveable is unbelief. I am not Christian, so I do not know what the doctrine is in Christianity...

Well, the question is, if EVERYONE has sinned (and we know everyone has because of that story with the Rabbi and the Adulterer in Speaker, which I find completely true), then if sin is sin is sin is sin, then we should all go to Hell, as you said. I may not know a lot about Christianity, but I thou...
