Why don't you live your religion?

Off topic.

Well, I guess some do consider living in a Mad Max movie to be a positive.

We live in the most peaceful times in world history. Biblical times WAS a Mad Max movie.

Guns made it a lot easier

No, taking God out of schools made it easier.

Oh? You think kids and teachers going to school think that?

You just posted old photos of school children armed with rifles. Were they armed because things were so peaceful then?

Yes, they were learning how to hunt humans.
Got any idea how your 4th of July meal got to you?

Delusion isn't good for sane society.

No, you led a life as instructed by the leaders of your religion. You evaded the question of morality, replacing it with obedience.

Yay!

It may go against the bible but it's par for the course. Once you convince people to buy into delusion, they're easy marks.

All I can see is, wait and see who's right.

Now ask yourself, is there any metric of positive topics that are trending better? How many things that we see as positives in society are trending worse?

Wait..we’re talking about a book that promotes a jealous, vindictive and genocidal deity, believes unchaste women, homosexuals and disrespectful teens should be stoned….right?

No wonder people have questions. This could be a trend for the better depending on how a faith chooses to interpret a book that has been revised many times over.

There are good things and bad things.

Defies explanation….

So you won’t admit things are worse today either. No shock.
How were things in God free China and USSR?

Because there is so little correct understanding of the Bible, too many are growing up jumping to the above conclusion. No one should want this incomprehension to prevail.

Fewer Americans are believing Sky Father fairy stories. That's a positive, Shirley?

That 'word of god' thing is tricky all right.

Reverend Martin Luther King didn’t think so.

Twisting and taking it out of context is all they can do.

Reverend Martin Luther King didn’t think so.

And?

Twisting and taking it out of context is all they can do.

So this is not a correct interpretation?

believes unchaste women, homosexuals and disrespectful teens should be stoned

Or is the correct context only some of them and only some of the time?

 

[Meriweather]

That 'word of god' thing is tricky all right.

So is math when one doesn't understand it or isn't paying attention.

 

[Meriweather]

Or is the correct context only some of them and only some of the time?

What else happens before anyone is stoned? How many deaths in a seventy year period make that court a bloody court?

Reverend Martin Luther King didn’t think so.

MLK studied the Sermon on the Mount.. same as Gandhi.
