No she thought the writen down "words of god " are the most Religious Thing and calling them "a book" ( which is a certain Form of writen down words) was soo insulting I think beach was Just crazy ( this was neither the First Nor the only time i as a comparetative Religious Scientists ( WE Look at Religious Rituals etc and Analyse them ( for all religions) rather than Just learn Religious dogmas Like in Theology) was attacked by theologists . A Couple Semesters later I Changed my minor from Theology to History of Natural science- best Decission ever
IT would be funny If IT were Not real. Like These were Young ppl ( Just 20+ yo) but they are already that extreme. And the whole subject of Theology as taught in this particular class ( minors and Majors took Most classes together for some reason), smh!!! One day WE Got a Text "to ask critical questions about" . When I asked my critical questions ( e.g. the Community in the Text Had Dancing lessons for everyone ( nevermind their Religion) you needed to pay for them) I asked why If IT were Open for everyone nevermind their Religion why would they have to get baptised Into the church to Take Dancing lessons Open for everyone WHICH THEY PAY FOR?! I was quickly shushed and upon further inquiery Just ignored . So "ask critical questions but don't ask critical questions!" :facepalm
Ezekiel 25:17
God is a vengeful, hateful a***ole.
But you know, back in the bronze age, when this was written, that's what made your god cooler than the other gods.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh
"scholars generally contend that Yahweh emerged as a "divine warrior" associated first with Seir, Edom, Paran and Teman, and later with Canaan. "
But it's:
War! What is it good for! Absolute inheritance!
Yeah, morality evolved over millennia. Religion and its gods had to change to keep up.
Congrats on the extant ones for rolling with the punches.
Shame on the parents of kids who don't bother to know or pass on the history.
Don't worry about it. Like @idilis said "In the worst case the mods will just lock it."
Exactly. So keep posting until they DO lock it. "If we are ashamed of Him then He will be ashamed of us."
That doesn't sound very mature.
My parents had to handle similar situations with my petulant teenage brother (decades ago). They didn't just give up on him... and my parents are only human. I expect much better from someone claiming to be divine.
Deuteronomy 20:
When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them.
Every last conflicting verse ever found in The Holy Scriptures will always point to the culprit w horns who the Genesis 2 false foundation absolutely is. All the barbaric behavior through it is his garbage, deceptive conflicting influence and false authority. Not a thing of Genesis One, that created everything that was made then Very Good, that had no garden of eden, nor tree of opposing knowledge than EVERYTHING THAT IS WRITTEN IN GENESIS ONE.
as i said elsewhere



To be fair, it is a bit odd to allow, for example, LGBT topics but not topics like this.
They're both contentious topics that aren't inherently bad in any way. Silencing one group and not the other because it's in vouge to do so is a bit, uh, trashy... for lack of a better word.
