None of you religious dogma masturbaters doing your subjective and convoluted fantasy parsing are able to challenge a single FACT I presented (on Page 31).....nor dispute my main thesis about the Golden Rule.
You jerks just keep yapping away massaging the trivialities of dogmas that have TWO sided facts supporting each one of your positions in each of your Ultimate sources. To wit, BOTH the Bible and the Quran has verbiage that supports each one of your disparate positions.
Example in the Quran: Pedphilia is supposedly not countenanced. Yet Mohahahahahamed rapes a nine year old Ayesha with the convenient Islamic rule of sanctifying pedophilia by legalizing it thru "marriage".
Depending on which page you turn to in the Bible, God is the most wonderful chap you can imagine .... on the other hand he is a spiteful, petty, vengeful, malevoent asshole that is beyond human contemplation. Each one of us know scores of human beings more benign and forgiving than that scumbag.
All you said about Christianity on page 31 was it was bloodthirsty...but when you think of that, the message of the Cross is all about blood, the precious blood of Christ that covers the sins of all who will receive it, but somehow I don't think that's what you meant.
as for your last paragraph above, about how we all know scores of humans more forgiving than Him...the thing is, I don't know anyone that would voluntarily be tortured and die for me, do you?
I don't know any gods that would come down to earth in the flesh to do that, do you?
You said you know other humans that are more forgiving. What would you do if you were God? Tell all us humans not to worry about our sins, just haul them up to heaven with us? (since so many of us refuse to allow Christ to cover them). Is that what you call forgiving? Then heaven would be just as messed up as this planet.
Think about if you were God, what we must sound like to Him. On the one hand we yell at Him for allowing all the evil that man does in the world, on the other hand we yell at Him because He has said He will not allow all that uncovered sin to pollute heaven as much as it pollutes this planet.
So what would you do, gautama? What solution do you have that is better than coming to the planet and paying for all our sins yourself for anyone willing to receive the sacrifice? Becoming man and taking on the full penalty that those that want to can come to you...what more do you want from God than what He went through on the cross?
