    Friend,

    The Bible clearly teach us that without God there is no virtue, only utter depravity. Therefor Jesus tells us there is no way a tree botherer like you can be good.

    Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

      Perhaps you require the threat of eternal damnation to keep you in line and make you behave. Not everyone needs to have hell hanging over them to make them be good people. They just do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

        Dear Silly Pagan,

        Human beings are purely selfish and have no frame of reference to tell what is "good". What you think is "good" is done out of pure self motivation. Sure, you may not fear hell, but you do fear reprisal from your fellow human beings. Since God is the only thing that fears nothing on He is in a position to be selfless.

            Actually, I don't do good out of fear of reprisal. For example:

            I give food to the food bank because there are hungry people who need food. I'm not worried that someone will punish me if I don't.

            I treat animals kindly because to treat them unkindly is harmful to them and I do not wish to harm them. While cruelty to animals is a crime in my state, I would not be cruel to animals even if it were perfectly legal.

            I garden organically because I do not wish my family to eat toxic fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide residue found in much commercial produce. No one would punish me if I put weed-and-feed on my garden. I just think it's not a good thing to do, so I don't do it.

            I give to other people out of my material goods if I have them to spare and they need them, because they need them and I have extra. No one would punish me if I refused to share. I do it because it's the right thing to do.

                I agree Brother! It seems as though this one doesn't care if satan has control of her or not...
                Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

                  Fine.
                  Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ. A truly beautiful portrayal of the human side of Jesus. In fact, Kazantzakis said that the writing of it strengthened his own faith in Jesus.

                    Do you believe your made-up tree goddess will reward you in the afterlife? Or is she just completely indifferent to all human vice and virtue?
                    O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                    God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

                      And to me, all deities are not literal beings, but simply archetypes that I use as reminders of what it means to be a decent person. Kind of like post-it notes on my spiritual bulletin board.

                        Well, you know what that means pagan!?

                        Deuteronomy 17:2-5
                        "If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which
                        the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath
                        wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in
                        transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other
                        gods
                        , and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any
                        of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; And it be
                        told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired
                        diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain,
                        that such abomination is wrought in Israel: Then shalt thou
                        bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed
                        that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that
                        woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die."


                        Other gods also means NOT THE TRUE GOD. You're lucky that secular law doesn't allow such things. But I'm sure it could be arranged...
                        Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

                          Not poisoning yourself is not virtue. This only reinforces my point that you don’t even know what virtue is.

                            While I would hope that someone would do the same for me if I were hungry, that's not why I do it.

                            You do not want people to be cruel to you.

                            While I do not want people to be cruel to me, I would not inflict cruelty even if I experienced it.

                                You seem to be the one in a muddle - go back and read the post again. I see deities as ways of reminding ourselves what it means to be a decent person. I have no need for them to dispense afterlife rewards and punishments like so much Pez.
