Elimination of religious dogma that makes people beleve they are born "evil".
How totally fucked-up is it to teach children from DAY ONE that they are born "bad"?
Are you even capable of knowing how fucked-up your religion is?
You say you are not an atheist - so I ask you: Why do you believe in things without any evidence for them? If you say you are simply agnostic - many agnostics are just atheists under the cover. I'm not agnostic,Zolace. When are you ever going to get that thru your thick skull. I do not believe anything that has been proved wrong; ie, your religious beliefs. |

Does everyone agree about the death penalty and abortion?
Some say that doing those are murder, others do not. Please, knock off the silliness about me redefining anything as if this subject is so esoteric.
How can the state murdering people not be considered as murder? Ok, how about this? Are there folk who think Bush is a murderer regarding the Iraqi war? Are there folk who disagree?Are there folk who think that Hiroshima and Nagasaki was murder, and those who think not? "If your "god" commanded you to kill someone, would you kill them?" Of course you never answered the question, but it does cause one to ponder. The usual criteria for determining the definition of murder is understanding the difference between Right and Wrong. You are on-record for not knowing the difference between Right and Wrong, Truth or Lies. You have to draw a line somewhere, and basic understadning of Right and Wrong is a good place to draw the line. You can't even man-up and define The Golden Rule!!! That should be a clue. |

No one is talking about the death penalty or abortion.I know that you will never admit that you are wrong, but that doesn't matter. You are wrong. |

Not everyone agrees on what constitutes murder - what makes your interpretation the correct one, out of curiosity?
You are the only one who is attempting to redefine murder to fit your warped agenda.Every civilized person who has not been brainwashed to believe fairy tales are real know what murder is. The Exodus, et al account are the very definition of murder/genocide, but you are the only one who is attempting to re-write the dictionary. |

What dance? Unexpectedly, you yourself provided evidence of you belief in the existance of a Creator in trying to make your point.
Rather unexpectedly, I have to admit, but I am inclined to let go explaining the 'context' just for that little nugget.
By saying "god-instructed" genocide you conclude I admit a belief in a creator?  No that was not it; I guess you missed what I said in an earlier post.Ok, lets take some smaller steps on this. What is your position on the use of the Death Penalty? That would fall into the category of "dancing" around the issue.What does the death penalty have to do with the price of beans? Are you suggesting the people the Israelite s murdered committed a crime and were sentenced to death by a jury of their peers? |

More accurately it's called, genocide.In the case of the Israelites murdering non-Israelites, some may prefer the term, "Ethnic Cleansing".
Actually, if you read the account, it was not for having a 'different faith'. But, lets go with your error and again ask - what determines that something is murder? Some folks think aborting babies is murder - not all. Some folk think the government executing murderers or rapists is murder - other folkd do not. What makes your interpretation of murder the correct one? True. If the nations the Israelites allegedly murdered had converted and worshiped the Hebrew "god", the Israelites would have murdered them anyway. Is there a point to this? After all, it's just a fairy tale. Again, not true, if one reads the history of the Israeli nation there, be it Joshua, or before or after (Samuel). The Hebrew "god" just ordered the Israelites to kill them, including women and children, and all their animals because their animals were "unclean". It is no different than militant Muslims in the 21st century believing they are obeying their "god" by killing everyone who is not Muslim, except that Muslims will allow people the opportunity to convert to Islam and live as second-class citizens (slaves) to Muslims. Your objection makes no sense unless you are claiming that morals are absolutes.Which, deep inside, you do believe - the very thing Paul discusses in Romans chapter 1. Your objections make no sense because your objections are based upon your blind faith in superstitious beliefs and fairy tales, and we have long ago established the fact that you can't use one fairy tale to make another fairy tale real. Remove your head from your ass, stop believing in fairy tale , and it makes perfect sense that you are simply attempting to rationalize and justify wholesale genocide. You also have to consider the fact that the Exodus accounts are 100% pure fiction. The events, just like your Flood Myth and your childish Creation myths, are pure bullshit. No culture or society would ever condone wholesale genocide, much less ever admit to participating in it. |

These people live by the sword and die by the sword. Therefore they only understand the sword! So all you soft hearted liberals who cannot stand war and espouse an ideology of none violence, well these people will kill you and yours while you run your mouth!! Time to eliminate these people where they lay.

So Obama was saved by Putin from causing yet another mess in the Middle East.
Now we have ISIS which is an offshoot of ISIL which was initially funded and armed by the US attacking Iraq and Syria. They probably shouldn't be allowed to wreck havoc there. I have no idea what would be the best approach but I feel sure America won't employ it.

The thing is that in the case of sarin gas in Syria, it wasn't the government using it but the "rebels".
One thing about sarin is that it is relatively easy to work out its origins and the stuff in Ghouta was from Turkey who would never supply Assad.

It was what it was, if there's a God that all things and people were created from and at that time others idols were worshiped, that would mean eventually they would have destroyed Israel and worshiped something other than the true God
Too noviapriani's point i don't see a lot of evidence God favors nations anymore except in a spiritual sense or a nation of believers. Nations may be used to full-fill certain prophecy but that's all

That's why you come to NO. To listen to music, people watch and eat the awesome food. Use Tripadvisor for eating. Bourbon st is full of people, all kinds. The music is everywhere and you can get and do about anything you want. A New Orleans staple. Don't leave town without walking down. It's busy most of the time but you don't have to be there real late to enjoy. 7:30 pm things are rocking already.

It makes sense for a Messiah to come. When G-d reveals Himself, Israel would need to have a King. That is how it was in the Biblical days. Moshiach means "anointed one". One who is anointed with oil. The King of Israel, basically.
I doubt there will be many observant Jews left when the Jewish messiah comes. the new religion in Isreal is secular Zionism and its growing fast. I hope that Abraham's children in middle east can see sense and start to respect each other before they bring on the next Sodom and Gomorrah. I am actually secular. I made this thread to explain the Jewish religion. I am not religious at all. To be the Messiah, according to Judaism, one would have to reunite the Jews back to Israel. He would have to be a Torah scholar and a great military leader. And he would bring the Jews back to studying Judaism and getting closer to G-d. Jews would want to get closer to G-d when the Messiah comes. If you're not religious, why do you keep typing G-d? How does g-d make it easier to explain tradition than god? It is done so that G-d's name is not desecrated. If I delete this thread, then I desecrate G-d's name by essentially deleting His name. That is why I do it; for the religious thread. If I make a thread about why I am secular, then I will write G-d out. But for purposes of explaining religion, I will write G-d. So you're not religious but you are being careful not to desecrate god's name?Actually ignore that....you think typing god then deleting it desecrates god? Yeah, you're religious. You may know in your head that it's stupid, but the rest of you believes in a sky fairy. |

Also, Maya Angelou should be in this poll. A remarkable woman, but people like Stowe or even Soujurner Truth would likely deserve more of a spot than her.

God (man who pretended to be god) was writing that all who believe in other gods should be put to death...and he was speaking to (writing for) anyone who believed the bible......which we now call christians.
If you believe God actually wrote or inspired this , then you believe your god wants us to kill anyone who doesnt believe in him. Great and loving/forgiving god that he is.
