God loves all mankind. He will punish those that refuse his gift of salvation thru Jesus Christ. I just get angry when someone blatantly curses and refutes GOD.
Look in the mirror, you will see the biggest myth of them all, you.why waste time with a book so full of myths when there are so many facts in this world to absorb?
Some people are incredibly intolerant of those who believe differently than they do.I'd say its not entirely unreasonable to suggest that the OT GOD is something of a dick for the reasons you've outlined.
That being said, why do you care?
God loves all mankind. He will punish those that refuse his gift of salvation thru Jesus Christ. I just get angry when someone blatantly curses and refutes GOD. But in the end it will be the unbelievers that will see the truth and howl in pain. I would love to see everyone in heaven even you and Dragon, but I know God gave man free will. I just keep on praying for everyone. Peace.Then shut up and puke already. You are so full of it you defecate out your mouth constantly.
Why does this poster's view make you so angry? Do you think God cares if he's insulted?
Do you think God loves YOU more and Dragon less?
Actually, your views are very much like mine. I'm sorry if what I said gave that impression. I am not, in fact, an atheist. But I am an implacable opponent of doctrinaire, dogmatic, authoritarian religion, for much the same reason as Jefferson penned to a collateral ancestor of mine: "For I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." And also, I reject utterly all that places a barrier between the soul and awareness of the divine, and doctrinaire religion does a better job of that than anything else I can think of.
Is it coincidence that the government, the church and banks are the richest entities on earth. Is it fair that not only do churches operate in the clear but they also operate tax free. I wouldn't give any of them enough warm piss to take a pill.
I would tend to agree, but that's organized religion (and organized central government). There's a big difference between "religion" and "spirituality". I am generally of the opinion that few things have benefited society as much as a good strong spirituality among the members of society. I am also strongly of the opinion that few things have as completely fucked up society as much as an organized church (or government for that matter).
So again, I agree with certain aspects of your arguments and that of others, but to go from observing the contradictions and hypocrisies of "the church" to complete rejection of spirituality seems to be a heck of a leap. Just my opinion.
I don't know whether or not there's anything after death........I strongly doubt it.

Well I suppose we will both know when we die. If I am right I will get to rub your nose in it in the afterlife, and if you are right neither of us will care. But my chances of being able to gloat about it seem better than yours.

So what do you believe in? Is all you see around you an accident?As with God, the only evidence for survival of consciousness beyond death is subjective. It involves an understanding that consciousness is strange to begin with, and we don't have a model for what it is or where it comes from. (All brain-related models are actually modeling something else, like self-recognition or the ability to process information, any of which could be happening without any subjective consciousness at all. Consciousness cannot even be studied by science, because there is no test possible to verify that it even exists. It is inherently subjective, and thus not possible to study objectively.)
It also involves an awareness that the normal conception of who "I" am is an illusion. The realization that the line drawn between I and not-I is arbitrary raises all kinds of issues regarding our assumptions about many things in life, including where the temporal (as well as spatial) boundaries of consciousness lie.

Have you ever gone outside on a moonless night and looked at the stars. How did they get there?
What intelligence caused the right materials, in the right concentrations so that the big bang worked the way it did?
Are you in control of your destiny?
Who or what caused gravity?
You have spent the better part of the day ridiculing the beliefs of a good many of us. Give us an equal shot to criticize what you hold dear.
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."
Benjamin Franklin .

Prove it.....when a person dies they're dead. That's why they call it dying. .
Do you reali e how goddam stupid it is for someone to actually talk about an afterlife. I'd sooner believe my neighbor was picked up by aliens and taken to another galaxy for a physical.

Why bother? It's not like you have an open mind. Don't pretend you do.All you do is demonstrate you have no understanding at all.
What you demonstrate with this kind of post is that you have no argument at all; otherwise, you would present it.
