something about stoning in leviticus maybe?? im not educated enough to know really bc i dont read scriptures but i would not be surprised,,
the thing talks about animal sacrifices too....

the fact is the institutions take what they want, its all heavily interpretive now isnt it? i find it so convoluted, the idea it would be used as a source to run contemporary law from....i say, probably time to start really ignoring it.

we have human rights codes and we can understand ethics. there are plenty of other cultures that can be studied and understood for greater input. We also have plenty of documented history to pull understanding from. and this is accepted history that unites the globe, not word of mouth scripture and superstition

}ass mode = "ON"
while truth != 1 then "argue"......

oh oops i just found the problem in the secular argument...
it would require people to have a certain level of education with cultures and history in order to work

ugh..... so unfortunate we have un-educated people in the world right??
maybe i need to brush up on my scripture and L2pray ???

i say its time the devout start developing THEIR skeptisim.
If its not the right method of thought in the rest of the world, maybe its too myopic a theory? maybe since all religons are "right", they are all wrong?

so which side do u choose?
how bout the one that TRIES to be right with a healthy level of skeptisim + facts + evidance?

the thought that someone might choose to be dogmatic about evidance is so scary?
why would an agnostic who feels law or politics should be secular still sit on a fence?
what are they being careful about?
is not the road of science the careful one?
would you rather allow others to remain obtuse with their spirituality just because you dont want to be a hard ass like some of them?

} end,function var$ "ass"

Exodus 35:2
"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death."

Aww, good bye everyone that works on Sundays... Good bye myself. :-(

Deut 21:18-21
"If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ?This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.? Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid."

:-( There goes all our teenagers, they're dead too!

Leviticus 20:13
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them."

I guess milk jug hates homo's too.

All the intelligent Christians better get to work now, and fulfill gods wishes.

Go google those verses, they aren't fake.

Gosh, does this whole "pick a side" thing sound awfully remniscent of Jesus' words, "if you are not for me, you are against me," to anyone else?

Hey, how about, this. If you want to go to such extremes, lead a good example. In fact, no, lead a perfect example, lest you fall prey to hypocrisy. Buy a black and white TV (no grayscale allowed, that's cheating!), dress only in black or white, use only the left or right side of your body, move to the North or South pole.

Don't be absurd. Obviously seeing the world in such militant dualisms makes no sense whatsoever. There are many, many possibilities to any subject, and to polarize everything in an us-or-them scheme destroys out all the subtle hues and tones that color the center of the spectrum. What you people are doing is not beneficial to progress, or God, despite what your revelations may tell you; you are merely exacerbating the dissension of groups and fertilizing the already fecund grounds for an ideological war.

i think its interesting that the more education you have, the less likely you are to be religious...

Unfortunately, there are some people who neglect all the blatant inconsistencies and problems you mentioned, as well as those internal to the Bible, and say that the scriptures contain the literal accounts of Earth's history.

Have any of you watched Jesus Camp? It's honestly one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen. Way worse than The Exorcist. I had never imagined fundamentalism was so ugly and rampant in the US until I saw it, especially in that rat-tail haired kid.

Yeah Jesus Camp was awesome.

I loved when that kid who got ostracized for watching Harry Potter.

And when they were praying to God saying stuff like "God please don't let us lose electricity. Stay away Satan, we know you want to ruin our Powerpoint presentations... ohallamadjicarppag!"
