Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

Exactly. I don't agree with that. I think it's wrong to kill and enslave others, so obviously I can't be a Christian or believe in god. How can love exist alongside hate? One can't live while the other survives.

That's your decision. What is more important - rules of God, or what you think is right?

I'll keep praying for you, just in case.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

That'seasy, sweetie. Love and compassion applies only within the Christian community, dear. God allows - actually, commands - us to kill or at least enslave everybody else.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

I agree with certain ideas in the Bible, like the idea of love and forgiveness. I don't agree with all the hate, murder, rape, and oppression in the Bible. I only agree with the ideas. Frankly, I don't understand how the Bible can talk about love and forgiveness one minute, then preach rape and murder the next. We pick and choose what we believe in all the time as far as morality goes, but I don't get my morality from the Bible. SOME of my morals are found in the Bible, however. Like love, being kind to others, being compassionate, and forgiveness.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

My last statement was, that you either agree with the entire Bible, or reject it as a whole.

You say you agree with me, and yet you say you agree with some parts of the Bible and disagree with others...? Don't you see a contradiction in what you are saying?

Besides, in order to agree/disagree with the Bible you would have to actually have read it. Which I don't think you did.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

I completely agree with your last statement. But I don't really think it's unfortunate. I agree with some parts of the Bible. I disagree with others. But I don't believe the Bible is the word of God. I consider it fiction.

It's not necessarily that he doesn't remember what you claim, it's just that the content of your messages suggests that you haven't actually read the whole Bible, just memorized a few passages which fit what you think religion should be.

Unfortunately for you, the Holy Bible is not like a basket of sweets on Halloween, from which you pick just your favorite, but a complete set - you have to accept it all, or it doesn't count.

...But I don't care...

Then why are you still here?

...I've already told you I DO read it for myself. Why is your memory so terrible?

I've already demonstrated that no one here has reason to believe anything you say. Why is your memory so terrible?

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

You're right. I've been listening to what YOU and others on this forum have to say about what's in the Bible. But I don't care. I've already told you I DO read it for myself. Why is your memory so terrible?

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

There's only one thing that matters here: what the Bible says in plain English.

If you want your stay here to last, go read it for yourself so you know what it says. You've obviously been listening to a lot of people tell you what's in there, and that's a bad idea, because people like that always have agendas.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

Me: four years, almost 8000 posts, not disagreeing with what the Bible says Jesus and God want, looking at a long future here at Landover correcting people's misunderstandings of Scripture...

You: not quite ONE FULL DAY, 17 vacuous posts, don't understand what half the words in the Bible mean (and keeping head firmly lodged in rectum when someone attempts to correct you)...

How are we "alike"?

Obviously in more ways than you can imagine, my friend. And how on earth did you know my head was lodged in my anus? I am a contortionist, you know.

Re: Hitting Women is Neccessary

I could say the same about you, too! We're so alike!

Yeah, just see how much longer that lasts while you prance around spewing your misunderstandings of what the Bible says.
