So if you believe people will just make up religions for some reason, you don't think there's "one true god"?

If you go back to Genesis it mentions that their are other people outside of the garden. They were called son's of Gods, daughters of men, and the Nephilim.

In the Hebrew Bible and several non-canonical Jewish and early Christian writings, nephilim means the fallen ones are a people created by the cross-breeding of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men". The word nephilim is loosely translated as giants or titans in some Bibles, and is left untranslated in others.

The phrase "sons of God" is sometimes translated into English as "sons of gods". The Hebrew word, "Elohim", is a plural form...

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Almost a year ago, I sat in Trump Tower being told that the goal was to get "the Donald" to poll in double digits and come in second, that was it

i think anti god posting should be illegal and punishable too.

I only hate Muslims who support the following:

. The killing of apostates

. The stoning of adulterers

. Cutting the hands of thieves

. Throwing gays off rooftops

. Jailing or killing people who draw the prophet Mohammed

. Jailing or killing people who burn or otherwise destroy or deface the Qu'ran

. Attacking or harassing non-believers purely because they don't follow their faith

. Raping or enslaving non-believers

. Killing or jailing people who drink in public

. Circumcising children ( Chopping off bits of their genitals )

. Establishing Sharia Law within Democratic countries

If you're a Muslim and believe any of these things and think that you can only be a Muslim and believe in this bullshit, then of course I hate you, however if you're a Muslim and find these things horrendous and will do everything to stop this, then you're more than welcome.

That assumes a conspiracy. That any scientist with evidence man made climate change isn't real wouldn't be hired anywhere else. Anywhere in the world. Hard to believe. Would need coordination and cooperation of too many people. And in very different countries.

...feel free to stop responding rather than continuing to scream and shout, while tripping over your own logical fallacies and evidence-less (as well as sourceless) claims that seem to be primarily backed by the "I know, trust me" confirmation.

(I'm not trolling)

“I think that anybody who advocates infinite punishment or infinite rewards for finite crimes and deeds is morally inferior. I think that anybody who is supposedly omniscient and omnipotent and omnibenevolent who creates a system knowing that people are not going to be able to live up to its standards, spends an eternity punishing them … and the only loophole that the creator of all the laws of the universe can come up with - why didn’t he just forgive everybody or change the laws? - but instead he has to create a loophole where he comes down bodily and sacrifices himself to himself to act as a loophole for a rule that he created. It’s absurd. It is laughably absurd. And it’s immoral.”

The general consensus seems that it is not to be used for moral purposes , but more as a "prophecy" that was already fullfilled.

As metaphors for creation of the universal system (governed by the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) and a conscious species within said system, the downfall due to conscious species' inability to control itself and then the humanity's search for purpose.

I believe that part of it was either lost as history progressed (there isn't an original copy in existence, just a bunch of early copies) or lost in translation as it went through numerous people with different cultural backgrounds.

Also, in terms of the 10 commandments:

Bernie Sanders ice cream is now a reality, thanks to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, founders of Ben & Jerry's.

Called "Bernie's Yearning," the ice cream — which Cohen describes on BerniesYearning.com, a website devoted to his support of Sanders for president — is mint, topped with what he calls "a thick disc of solid chocolate, which represents the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top one percent."

While the company is not selling the ice cream, Cohen and Greenfield are giving away samples of the flavor in free sundaes today in New York City's Union Square, Gothamist reports.

Sanders, who has long represented Vermont — home to Ben & Jerry's headquarters — as a United States senator, recently tried the ice cream flavor on "The View."

Bernie Sanders ice cream is now a reality, thanks to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, founders of Ben & Jerry's.

Called "Bernie's Yearning," the ice cream — which Cohen describes on BerniesYearning.com, a website devoted to his support of Sanders for president — is mint, topped with what he calls "a thick disc of solid chocolate, which represents the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top one percent."

While the company is not selling the ice cream, Cohen and Greenfield are giving away samples of the flavor in free sundaes today in New York City's Union Square, Gothamist reports.

Sanders, who has long represented Vermont — home to Ben & Jerry's headquarters — as a United States senator, recently tried the ice cream flavor on "The View."

"Excellent! Really good," he said. "And I'm not just saying that because it's Bernie's Yearning."

Cohen gave away 40 pints made in his home kitchen to those who entered a drawing.

"It's essentially mint chocolate chip ice cream, but all the chips have gone up to the top," Cohen said in a YouTube video. "That's where all the money is. And below it is nothing." Like Sanders, both Ben & Jerry's founders, who sold the company to Unilever in 2000, live in Vermont but were born in Brooklyn and grew up in New York. Greenfield also sells lit Bernie Sanders campaign signs via the Bernie's Yearning website.

The look of the flavor — chocolate melting down to a creamy base — inspired Cohen to come out with limited edition "Bernie's Bowls." Anyone who wants one can enter to win a bowl on the site.

My defense in said post is that the bible regulates the situation back then (when slavery was common), however expressed no support of the act of enslavement.

That's Old Testament. When referring to the Christian bible, the New Testament is implied. The Old Testament was meant for the time before the coming of Christ (which by those practicing Judaism is THE bible since they don't consider Jesus as the son of God and are still waiting for one (the reason for 2 religions - Christianity and Judaism - instead of one)). I already linked it in this post but here's a rather brief explanation in regards to the Old Testament: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1412734.msg14336544#msg14336544

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Since, I'm rather bored to wait, I'll get the Wikipedia mention on the New Testament out of the way. It is said in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_slavery:


First of all, I've looked at the passages that refer to this:

And all the passages linked, the translation in several English versions seems to use the word "servant" rather than "slave", which could be both interpreted as lost in translation (beneficial to your side) and as to cover (regulate, not approve of ) slavery back in the day of Christ (which was a common practice at the time) as well as the current voluntary employment. There is however no positive (a.k.a. reinforcing) mention of the act of enslavement. From what I can logically deduct, said writings were meant to address the status quo, rather than encourage the act of slavery (taking new slaves). This view is also reinforced taking in consideration the following part of the quote:

Slavery:
