Also, the greek word Logos refers to God's self expression, or revelation. So the bible isn't the word of God, however it is the cradle of the Word, It points to the Word and helps us discern how the Word interacts in the world. |

Does your conscience say you have that right? Creator, God does not use double standards. That would be cruel. I would not be cruel to direct you to the words of Christ Jesus. |

Anonymous User ID: 70806840 United Kingdom 05/11/2016 03:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just asking the question itself demonstrates something incredible - that a divinely created human could be completely FOOLED into giving away all of his power and soul's sovereignty to a deceptive belief system that somehow made him believe that he's born a flawed sinner, can only find salvation OUTSIDE OF HIM and needs to be good to get to heaven. Perhaps these wise thinkers are trying to wake you up to question things you believe not because they are true..but because you never had the courage to verify the truth and/or needed to fit in so you just went along...It's one of the two. "Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world." - Voltaire “If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian." - Mark Twain "I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day." - Albert Camus "When people expect God to plan their lives for them, and protect them, they tend to lose their motivation to guide and control their own lives." - Charles W. Faulkner "I know of no book which has been a source of brutality and sadistic conduct, both public and private, that can compare with the Bible." - Sir James Paget "There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.” - Ruth Hurmence Green "There was a time when I believed in the story and the scheme of salvation, so far as I could understand it, just as I believed there was a Devil... Suddenly the light broke through to me and I knew this God was a lie... For indeed it is a silly story, and each generation nowadays swallows it with greater difficulty. Why do people go on pretending about this Christianity?" - H. G. Wells "Where knowledge ends, religion begins." - Benjamin Disraeli "The God of the Bible is a moral monstrosity." - Henry Ward Beecher "The careful student of history will discover that Christianity has been of very little value in advancing civilization, but has done a great deal toward retarding it." - Matilda Joslyn Gage "I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, and the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish on the human race." - Friedrich Nietzsche "We have become so accustomed to the religious lie that surrounds us that we do not notice the atrocity, stupidity and cruelty with which the teaching of the Christian church is permeated." - Leo Tolstoy "Good people can do good and bad people can do evil. But for good people to do evil -- that takes religion." - Steven Weinberg "Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth." - Henry Mencken "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." - Albert Einstein "Turn over the pages of history and read the damning record of the church's opposition to every advance in every field of science. . . ." - Upton Sinclair "Catholicism is contrary to human liberty. Catholicism bases salvation upon belief. Catholicism teaches man to trample his reason under foot. And for that reason it is wrong." - Robert Ingersoll |
