I thought it would have been obvious. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 947657 I wasn't entirely sure, but I had my suspicions. Had you not, I would've been privileged to learn something interesting about fanatics. I hear ya, I wanted to keep up the charade but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I have gained insight into the minds of fanatics, I believe. I think they are just hurt individuals, and very afraid. The ones that aren't trolling I mean. I agree, it can be difficult to tell the difference. |

Quit being so petty and vindictive, OP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 947657 That sounds like an abusive relationship. In a state of delusion where you think he loves you regardless of the abuse. Scared to leave because of what he'll do to you. Oh dear, another blasphemer, I will pray for you, in the meantime I suggest you beg forgiveness. God is patient, and he loves us, but his patient has it's limits, I'd hate to see spend eternity in hell because you don't understand how much he loves us. as a Christian you should pray for... not judge... and your comment does not seem very helpful.. this is the talk of a satanist, imo... op sounds like he has a good heart and Christ did say He came for the unjust, not the just... OP--you might consider that the OT appears to represent a VERY different time in human consciousness... one that required blood sacrifices and where people married very young and killed for things we don't even call crime today... Ever dealt w an alcoholic? God seems to me to be dealing w humanity the best way He could, given the desire for free will creations and optimum harvest of souls in harmony w heavenly energies... thought. :) |

God is love and light... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30440264 :) There may be some truth to this, but ultimately I think Bowmnan is correct. Both good and evil must exist, you can't have one without the other, each gives meaning, balance, and definition to the other. When it comes down to it, I don't think it's about holiness, or growth, or "optimun harvest of souls", though all of those things could be part of this story. What it's really about is experience. All there is in the universe is a multifaceted singular consciousness, whose only purpose for existing is to experience everything there is to experience, not for growth or punishment, but because it has nothing else better to do. |

However, Strong's 1942 and 1943 are other vocalizations (vowel pointings) of Hay-Uau-Hay. H1942 means "desire (in a bad sense), engulfing ruin, calamity" and is vocalized Havah (or Hauwah - Uau can be pronounced as a "v" or "uw"). Translated in KJV as "very wickedness", "wickedness", "mischief", "deceitfulness". H1943 means "ruin", "disaster", "mischief" and is vocalized "Hovah" or "Houwah". All of the other Strong's Concordance translations of H-U-H are derivatives of either 1933 ("to become") or 1942/3. Note that not one means anything approximating "good" "The Lord is a man of war; Yahweh is his name." – Exodus 15.3 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29966199 Go(o)d--------------(d)evil At least in the Juices' conception. Note that in the OT the figure of "Satan" (HaSatan, the Adversary, or Helal ben Shachar, "son of the dawn") is not a hated enemy, but rather a respected element of YHWH's government, a prosecuting attorney if you will. Of course, perhaps the Juices' god is the real devil, opposed to the Real, Good God |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 570175 That is not the type of god i want to pray to. Perhaps the snake in the garden was the good guy, trying to warn us about this sick fuck. Im conflicted because the story of Jesus' life and his death is gut wrenching, i love that guy. The prevailing Christian theology is embarrassingly ignorant of its God and His nature. Rather than accept the responsibility God put on their shoulders to make the world a better place, they shift the blame to God or the devil when bad things happen. Rather than examining themselves in light of what God has called them to be, they bring God down to their level and dismiss what they don't understand as "an act of God's unknowable will." They say God hurts us because He loves us, which even a child can see makes no sense. What's even worse is they spread this poison as though it were truth, telling others that if they don't accept this schizophrenic version of God, they can quite literally go to hell. This fatalistic apathy stems from an unbiblical doctrine redefining the "sovereignty" of God. The bible states that God "so loved the world" and is "unwilling any should perish." He gave His own authority to believers and charged them with bringing about heaven on earth. Instead, Christians take a passive back seat, watching events unfold according to the will of evil, then crying "the judgement of God" to anyone that will listen. As to the fire and brimstone of the Old Testament, much of that is the product of biased translation (just like the New Testament verses concerning women in the church). The bible as we know it was translated in a time when Hebrew was a dead language, under scrutiny of a king who had final approval of the translation. It would be like handing a highschooler the untranslated epic of Gilgamesh and a pocket guide to ancient Sumerian and expecting an accurate result. With the added incentive of "if I don't like the way it turns out, off with your head." Language is complicated. Multiple meanings and misuse of permissive verbs can change the entire meaning of a passage. When a verse says "God sent (insert calamity)," it usually can be more faithfully rendered as "(calamity) came." Between biased translations and a slavish adherence to a faulty doctrine concerning the "sovereignty" of God, it's no wonder Christians are such an irritating, ineffectual bunch. And no wonder the rest of the world is calling bullshit. |

I like his general philosophy and he gives me a starting point for working out ethical problems. If I start with "What would Jesus do?" I don';t think I will go too far wrong. The Abrahamic God character though is a different kettle of fish. I can not stand him. He is so vile, despicable and inconsistent that I can only conclude he is the evil principle being represented as a creator. His followers go to a laughable extent to protest he is the good guy and the other is the evil. |
