Well, in the case of Moses and the 10 Commandments, the 3000 were killed for breaking god's law about idolatry, even though the law was freshly minted and the tablets containing the law were destroyed before they could read them. You always hear that god gives man free will, but in the OT the men with free will who decided not to follow god were slaughtered time after time.
Living right according to your standards. Why are your standards more sensible than anyone elses? If you don't like porn, don't buy it. What is wrong with the naked human body? Drugs are already illegal, and there aren't many elected leaders who don't support the War on Drugs. If billions of dollars and 30 years has not made a dent in the issue, I don't see what anyone else can do. If you don't like the TV shows, don't watch them. I don't need you telling me what I can and cannot watch. I don't agree that America's moral standards are any worse today than in the past. Look at any decade in this country and I can show show much worse things occurring socially than today. It just feels like morality is slipping because when things happen, we hear about them much quicker and more frequently.
Because everything is FUBAR the way things are now. I also advocate the immediate killing of "3rd strike" offenders and the public castration of child molesters and rapists.:thumb:
Ewwwww, would you really want to witness a castration in public? I don't think I'd be able to stop wincing and grabbing my area in a protective posture for weeks :lol: Castration should occur in the privacy of one's home, not in public. That brings up another issue: if Les Miles was a rapist, how long would it take to cut off the Lesticles? I would guess that you'd need a pretty large pair of scissors... :milesmic::milesmic::milesmic:
you asked for posts in your other religious thread usm... so here goes Is the Adam and Eve story ?yes, it is true ...but not the way it is taught. First ,was there an actual talking snake?uhhh nooo.The word translated from the strongs concordance that is used for serpent is to hiss or speak lies,and describes a man with the character of a serpent...Satan.serpent being just one of the many names of satan.{hebrew word #5172 ,Nachash 2}Was the tree of knowledge an apple tree?uhhh,no.The word for a wooden fruit tree is ets the word here is tree "atsey "which means backbone.a fruit tree doesn't have a backbone...it has a trunk...the trunk of the body contains the backbone. When God says thou shalt not eat from it neither shall ye touch it.Touch =naga...to lie with a woman. i don't think we are talking about eating an apple here After ,whatever took place in garden God says to Satan .I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed....Seed =progeny or offspring....if i remember the birds and bees correctly ,I don't think an apple can do that. Then God says to the woman ...I will greatly multiply thy sorrow{labor pains}and concepcion....Once again I don't think we are talking about an apple here, either.
ive never bought in to this legend either. women go from no labor pains to labor pains, just like that. maybe adam and eve were the first beings on earth that reproduced sexually, and god is initiating evolution of labor pains from yeast (or whatever the first sexually reproducing organisms were) to mammals.:insane:
the tree of knowledge was Satan ...he seduced Eve .Adam also seduced Eve . She gave birth to fraternal twins...twins with seperate fathers. "and again" she bare...that word is yaceph=to continue to do a thing...If she already had Cain and continued in labor ...that's twins.Twins by seperate concepcions...hey ,there is that word again .Those must be some pretty strong apples.I wonder whose father was Cain's and whose was Able's.That ought to be pretty easy to figure out. Seeing that Cain isn't listed in adam's geneology...and adam isnt listed in Cain's ..I would have to conclude that ole cain must not be Adam's son.
