[blacksheep08]

[rko2004]

You're trying to be George Carlin huh? Keep racking up those L's LOBO. Keep racking them up. You're doing a great job continuing to twist what you know nothing about.

 

[vsano]

I think, the ten commandments are basically common sense regardless of those passages.

 

[shogun]

wat?

Dang, didn't understand?i thought i worded it simple enough..alright, let me explain.

Contesting=challenging, he is challenging each commandment
yet he does not question how they came to be, in other words, he doesn't challenge the story, the root of the tree. Moises, big rock, thunder=commandments.

By challenging every commandment he is actually saying they exist and they are God's rules to his people/all people; and at the same time accepts God's "miracle" upon his people.

1. Not everyone considers him/IT/her God...that's YOUR God I don't know that cat.

2. Am I misreading or were you just making threats to someone over a story book that was written  "too long"  ago?

You're essentially perpetuating some of the issues he has with religion....dude is dissing my God, lemme find out where he lives I'm a bust his head open.


YOU PHALE

The 10 Commandments, IMO, were just written by a bunch of people for control ... threatening them with "God".

The entire concept of "preaching" and spreading an ideology bothers atheists/non religious people so much.

Yet this kind of stuff constitutes such a large amount of space on the internet, it screams hypocrisy. I can't help but call it what it is.

I have no problem with atheists that can recognize the good that religion provides for billions, whether or not they believe it is the truth or not. The moral dilemmas religion provides answers to. Answers that mere rationale and logic cannot provide.

There are plenty of popular scholars who have the opportunity to be outspoken on religion, but can see and recognize these aspects.

On the other hand you have Christopher Hitchens, who is rewriting the 10 Commandments. It really does strengthen the entire concept that atheism has become a faith in it's own right.

I recognize these aspects of spiritual comfort and hope.....I have no problem with religion when it is a personal bond with your God whomever that may be. It's when it infiltrates the politico-social environment that I take a stand against it.

I dont understand why all the hate on OP.

Maybe if he wouldve came in here talking about how Jay Z controls the world and how Drake is the son of the sun and all this illuminati crap, everyone would have applauded him for "dropping knowledge".


...Go figure.

This guy hates really hates religion and G-d. The bible in any religion is just a guide...

I have been studying the origins of the monotheistic faiths and how they stemmed from pagan Babylonic religions. That first commandment about God saying there shall be no other Gods before me refers to the fact that during that time the jewish people were polytheists and prayed to many gods. Then there was this pantheon of Gods. Yahweh became the Jewish God. He was a very jealous god. He was the warrior god, and with that line it was meant to say you made a covenant to only make ME your god,and you better not be putting other Gods before me, as in keep me to be your ultimate and primary God. So, that is where it comes from as the Jewish people being God's chosen people. It is because they made a covenant with him that Yahweh is their God, and that they will not pray to the other Gods the other tribes prayed to even though they believe in their existence, but Yahweh is their God.  
What crap are you reading? From seeing your previous posts in other threads, I can already see your bias towards anything even remotely associated with Judaism. What you try to to do is read things that will propigate anything to demonize Judaism. I can almost bet that the !$+% you read probably had the Babylionians believing in a G-d that had a name that started with a "Y" and want to discredit YHWH by associating the two and having ZERO proof. The origin of Yahweh goes back further than the Pagan era. Keep studying.

And most of the people who are saying fail, etc. obviously identify with Christianity or some religion

Like Anton said he's simply saying the truth.

I applaud him for being outspoken, religion isn't free from criticism or being made fun of.

 

[lobotomybeats]

I am back to answer some of the questions after a night of reflecting on Mt. Horeb.  Behold:

 o rly? after skimming through your original post, i've came to the conclusion that...
geez.. you really have something against Christianity, huh?



Maybe I phrased my response wrong?  I don't think Christianity is any less truthful than any other religion because I seem them all as the same: WRONG.  Atheist don't discriminate, I see them as equally false. I'm an equal opportunity Bull +%+# -Caller.  I think some religions are more dangerous than others due to their sizes.  Christianity isn't any crazier than Scientology but due to their size they are more dangerous.  Does that make sense? 

oh look at mister cool guy on the internet. what type of clown +!** is this?



I'd say the same in person.  It has nothing to do with the internet.  I came across the idea that the Ten Commandments are in order of severity (which I don't believe) and made a post about it.  Sorry, next time I limit myself to mindless chatter about the Illuminati.

[lobotomizedbeast] Hurr, I'm going to flex my e-pseudo-intellectual muscles by bashing a religion, hurr[/lobotomizedbeast]



I wasn't bashing religion at all, I was laughing the Commandments.  There is a difference.  I was making jokes based on the Ten Commandments, their outrageous punishments, and obvious omissions.  Tis all. You can't honestly take those commandments as the law and guide for punishment that they are intended to be.  Let me guess, I'm taking the bible too literally? The bible is meant to be taken literally.  It's the Gospel (truth). I've said this before, there is almost a nice sincerity to those that do take the bible literally.  Their interpretation hasn't bastardized and whittled away by common sense or eroded by a need to 'keep with the times.'

[h2]Numbers 31:15-18 (King James Version)[/h2]
 [sup]15[/sup]And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

 [sup]16[/sup]Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

 [sup]17[/sup]Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

 [sup]18[/sup]But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

lmao way to misrepresent an entire passage. It doesnt say go rape everybody. It says that you can spare the women that are pure and they can be part of your group. Comeon man, in any time of pursuit of knowledge, you should be trying to find the TRUTH, not twist things to get the truth. Taking random phrases out of the bible in an attempt to come up with some pseudocreative bull is just :smh



Maybe the problem is my jokes are being taken a bit too literally.  Maybe I don't think raping only the the pure is that different than raping the non-pure? It's a funny little caveat you picked out there to call me out on.  So I guess I am sorry.  Rape the pure, not the non-pure.  Keep in mind, my copied Commandments were taken from a Religious website.

Contesting=challenging, he is challenging each commandment
yet he does not question how they came to be, in other words, he doesn't challenge the story, the root of the tree. Moises, big rock, thunder=commandments.

I knew what you meant.  I wasn't really challenging the Commandments.  I don't believe in them, so questioning the story of them is kind of pointless.  I don't believe the story.  I don't hold them dear to my heart or anything.  Some are nice guidelines, but that's all.  The same guidelines that are instilled in you anyway.

Yo OP you lucky i dont know where you be at, The kid feels like you need help how you gonna diss the book of god!!

That book was written too long ago and you have the nerve to diss it??


I'm lucky you don't know where I live? Please dude.  So will you beat the love of god into me?  Will you smite me with thy heavenly lightening bolt to make me fear they lord?  And what does the age of the book have to do with anything?  "Lucky I don't know where you be at"

  You're trying to be George Carlin huh? Keep racking up those L's LOBO. Keep racking them up. You're doing a great job continuing to twist what you know nothing about.


oh RKO, Why the hate on Carlin? I've never understood you have such a hard-on for Carlin or your Anti-"new age atheist" nonsense.  Your biggest problem is that you don't think people can actually not believe in god.  You think it has more to do with being cool than actually not being so god damn myopic.  Please tell me what is so Carlin-esque about DIRECTLY QUOTING THE BIBLE?  Those passages aren't mine! Maybe I should have pointed that out? I didn't twist anything.  I added my opinion on the punishments....not even so much the actual rubbish commandments.    And what makes you think I know nothing of the Commandments?  Where is the proof for that?  I tend to study loads of religious texts and books about them.  So please, don't assume.

I have no problem with atheists that can recognize the good that religion provides for billions, whether or not they believe it is the truth or not. The moral dilemmas religion provides answers to. Answers that mere rationale and logic cannot provide.
There are plenty of popular scholars who have the opportunity to be outspoken on religion, but can see and recognize these aspects.



I can appreciate the goodness that religion does as easily as I can the damage.  I understand that there is hope in religion. I understand that people who believe in god live longer and that it comforts the lonely and all of that.  These are good points that shouldn't be forgotten.  That said, faith in anything does this.  People with pets live longer.  Same thing.  If it's about comfort, fine, religion is alright.  But if it's about truth, well that's another thing.
