Yeah, exactly. Heaven and Earth are still here, so that long, boring as shit book in the Pentateuch, the one called Leviticus, all that shit is still on the books, and yet here you are, not having been stoned or otherwise executed. According to your scripture, your pass on the LAW is only after your temporal existence is done.
And as far as your temporal existence goes, you'd still be under a death warrant if bible law was enforced as secular law.
So fail.
Yeah, I have. The only reason the delusions of those who claim to "feel the touch of..whatever" get a pass is because religion has always gotten a pass. If it wasn't for the undeserved respect society accords religions, those involved would be correctly diagnosed as mentally ill and (hopefully) given appropriated therapy so they could start living in reality as opposed to their delusions.
Yeah, and we're a bit to old to be believing in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, or any other fairy tales or myths that have talking animals, events that are demonstrably shown to have never happened (like a world-wide flood), or magic/miracles. Yet, here you are, on a PORN site, trying to defend exactly that.
So grow up, you're not a child any more.
BTW, I don't give a shit if I have your respect. You're an anonymous person on a porn site.
Oh, and the reason I get angry is because there are far to many "people of faith" (and no, it doesn't matter which religion or denomination) who gladly give money, time and energy to those who would happily turn their version of "God's Will" into secular law to be enforced by secular power.
We did that already in the western world. It was called the "Dark Ages" for a reason.
Religion is in direct opposition to individuality, reason, democracy, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of association, pretty much everything that has been fought and struggled for, and its people like yourself who support ideologies that run contrary to that same freedom and individual liberty.
And it's all in the name of a 'god' you cannot produce so you can avoid, in your abject fear, a "hell" that also cannot be demonstrated, but will gladly turn a blind eye to those who can and will make others miserable because they don't conform to what some fuckwad says is "god's will".
I've lived in a theocracy, and I'll oppose and fight anyone who thinks that "faith" is anything good or that any religion is worthy of any respect.
So fuck your faith and fuck your religion.
Couldn't give a fly's fart about your "sin". I'm trying to point out your outright hypocrisy.
Right, Jesus forgives you so you can continue acting like a hypocrite, yet allow yourself to think you're a "good" person.
Ok. You got me. I still believe in Santa Clause. Well Saint Nicholas really. Not the guy who tries to give toys to all the kids around the world, but the real one that gave to those who needed. Ah the wonder of helping people. I do not believe in the tooth fairy though.
What your rant says is that I can only participate in secular law if I believe like you do. Oh that sounds like freedom and individual liberty. In America, people founded this country so that one could believe whatever they wanted without interference from the government. I am sorry you have lived under different circumstances. I can't even imagine.
I don't fear hell. I am in a thread that is debating this subject not spilling it all over the boards. I am not trying to shove my opinion down your throat. I also don't think of myself as a "good" person. I am just a person. Trying to get through the day with all the trials and tribulations that a person goes through. I have never heard God speak to me audibly. He has never appeared to me in a vision. You're right I had a feeling. A feeling of peace when I asked for help.
