Jews will agree that the God is the same God, just that Jesus, was not the messiah.
Duh.
And I have friends who are muslim. We talk about this. IT's also clear as day in the Koran....SAME GOD.
Trust me. You're FOS.
Are you really that retarded? Tell a Muslim that Allah is really the Jewish God and see what happens.
Of course we know the three religions all use parts of the same religious material and in fact are viewing the same God in different ways, but I do not suggest you explain that to a Muslim.
Nor will faithful Jewish people accept that the God in the New Testament is their God as that would require they accept that Jesus was his son.
You are a dumb shit.
I don't know... it's just weird. Women who've gone in and come out NEVER speak positively about it. The jealousy dynamic is too strong. Western peoples are designed for the two-parent nuclear family with several high-investment children. We evolved that way.
White Christians who practice polygamy are just getting bungled up by emulating middle eastern cultures they have no business emulating. Leave the nine wives crap to the ragheads.
And though I dig freedom, I say, it's not quite a private issue. It's hard to tell if women are happily volunteering for this, and the kids obviously didn't volunteer for anything. And these "families" often end up applying for welfare, which does make it our business.
Hell has frozen over. I agree with WJ. It is interesting that we seem all to have rites of passage that mark the time when we become men and when we take a bride to raise our children. I know that sounds chauvinistic.
Ah Yes. how I fondly remember going out armed only with a stone flint-tipped spear to kill my first lion in order to be accepted as man within my tribe.
No...wait a minute...that wasn't me.. that was something I saw on TV.
My rite of passage was driving around at night with my friends drinking beer and trying (and very seldom succeeding) to get laid.
Lots of things are demeaning to women. That doesn't mean you take the power for them to indulge in those behaviors away from them.
We don't get to tell each other what life they can choose.
I think polygamy is wrong. I think swinging is wrong. I think homosexuality is wrong. I think all those things have negative effects on society, families and children.
Do I want to remove the right of people to live the lifestyle they (however misguidedly) choose? NO way. Because someday, some homosexual swinging polygamist might decide that it's demeaning to women to attend church, or wear long hair, or go to bars on the weekend.
Keep your nose out of others private lives unless it somehow violates the rights of others. Choosing to be demeaned is NOT violating anyone else's rights, and therefore, we don't have the right to deny them that choice.
We all indoctrinate our kids. THat's what having kids is all about. You have them, then you raise them with your own values.
It's not a crime, and it's nobody else's business. You don't agree with their religion, fine, but you have no business telling them how to raise their kids so long as they aren't breaking the law or hurting those kids.
Is allowing a child to get pregnant and get an abortion without any investigation into the circumstances of that child's pregnancy and homelife okay?
That's an interesting thought and relevant to this thread, a strong appeal of these sects is the sense of both belonging and of structure, it offers a socialistic sort of comfort in a less socialistic world. I am using socialistic in the sense of taking care of each other and not the politcal sense. Modernity confuses and stresses people out, structure can reduce the complexity.

Actually, I never was a Christian. I just had a lot of respect for the Priest involved, and enjoyed the human aspects of what we did.
But let me get this straight...you are not a Christian, but you feel some need to be their champion, as if any real Christian would deny they have any fear of God?
Are you honestly going to tell me God of the Bible never threatened eternal damnation for those who can not follow his directions?
Or are you just one of those PC nitwits who feels a need to be everyone's champion, even when in this case, you are WAAAY off base?
Nah.
prolly just not very informed.
In some ways, the bickering that goes on in these forums reminds me of family fueds........They are based on vanity or hot air.......They lack substance, but are driven by hurt, anger, jealousy, and a lot of ignorance..........and especially a lack of respect and love for one another.
