    Which is pretty much the point of the question. And pretty much the core of your belief. You cannot give any reason why answers to any questions about it because there are none.

    Bob Dylan was given a Nobel prize in literature for poetry that is completely open to interpretation and that he refuses to discuss the meaning of.

    Your Holy Killing Machines? Those and your flag decal will get you into heaven for sure.

    How? By clinging to the belief that you will live for eternity in heaven.

    Yes, and tell me please, how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

    And that leads to what religious leaders have always preyed on. Our unwillingness to face that basic truth.

    Interpreting your Bible is like interpreting your constitution. Are you an originality or modernist? Each and every person gets to be there own expert.

    It is speakers Corner , not bonfire.

    Indeed! Religion, has always been a zero sum game about accounts and accounting.

    Good old European traditions.

    Coming from the man who insists that I am "fallen".

    No, some men do those things for the feeling of righteousness it gives them. Not all are about money. Doesn't change the fact that all organized religion is about power at it's root.

    Because the more primitive a society is, the easier it is for people like Paul to fool them. Then he can feel good about himself. Unlike you who merely toils in forums like this with no effect at all except to fool yourself.

    Over the course of history I’m sure that religion has been the most profitable business ever.

    And I understand your fantasy. I was actually raised in the same fantasy. The point is you need the fantasy in order to have hope and to live a life of hope. I on the other hand have a full rich and satisfying life without the fantasy.

    And that is a great thing that you do not understand. Just because you would have no hope, does not mean I or anyone else would have no hope. Your faith tradition is far from the only one. I am full of hope.

    So, although Brent is on my ignore list the thread but not the body of the message shows up. I am so glad to read that he is finally dealing with the eggs that he consistently gets all over his face.

    She told me that book is a misprint that got away from the printers by accident. She's okay with any sex at all between consenting adults. So stop repressing, go find a guy to experiment with.

    In general, She gave us sex for Her amusement and to give us something to obsess over other than killing.

    Key phrase there. And no two people will agree on its meaning.

    Studying religion is not the same as believing in it. The more a person studies religion the more decisions she will have to make over just what to believe. Because any serious study of it will involve examining ideas that directly conflict over and over again. There is nothing wrong about any particular religion, except everything. Believe what you want, expound it with fellow believers, but don't expect others to follow because they have no reason to.

    What? ( I could not resist making up a nonsense word after Cslibraa )

    I get knocked down, but I get up again You're never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You're never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You're never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You're never gonna keep me down

    That is according to the theology you follow. My God does not see me as fallen, even though I have flaws. But I am only saying this to you because you are insisting on spreading your false religion in this forum. I do not wish to convert you, only to point out that your beliefs are best kept to where they are welcome instead of using them to insult others like Christians are wont to do.
