Nice list CJP. I had forgotten many of those.
But most of the crazy cons only attribute a terror act to a terrorist if the terrorist is the Koranic Jihadi type.
I still maintain that religion is the basis for a lot of con delusion.
Religion does spill over to their political thinking, and that political thinking is just as fact deprived as their religion.
I just pray to You Know Who, that the cons don't actually read the bible and perform the hundreds of crazy acts He commands them to perform. The only difference between the cons and the Jihadis, is the Jihadis actually do what You Know Who tells them to do.
Which is worse? Believing in an all powerful imaginary being and ignoring what he commands, or believing and killing in His name as He often commands.
I can't even begin to comment on this line of thought RG.
Why not Case sweety pie? Jesus said the Old testament is completely valid, and the old testament cites many times when killing is righteous. Including killing unruly children.
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Make excuses all you want. There are dozens and dozens of examples like this.
That's very interesting, Ray Gun. Your quotes prove that folks even in Biblical times did not take the Old Testament literally. They took the Bible with a large grain of salt.
After all, Ray Gun, despite the quotes you cite, I'm not aware of a single instance of a child being put to death in the Old Testament for cursing or hitting his parents.
In fact, there was only one close call --where Isaac was commanded to sacrifice his son Jacob for the Greater Glory of God and, at the eleventh hour, Jacob was granted a reprieve. (Or was it Abraham and his son, Isaac -- I forget?) That's the only instance I know of in the Old Testament which even came close to infanticide. It's not something that existed in the Old Testament, regardless of your quotes.
I think those quotes were there to put the fear of God into children, so they would honor and respect their parents -- and not to require parents to kill their children for such infractions. That sort of punishment just didn't happen in those Golden Olden Days.
But CJP, isn't the bible Gods word? What good is Gods word, if you can't take him at his word?
Pretty sure even Jesus said we should not ignore the old testament quotes. Specifically the ones I mentioned. Ill look Jesus mentioning not ignoring killing children if you want.
Maybe if people start reading what is in the good book, it might just disappear. Maybe the internet will be the end of the bible? Pretty sure no, that will not happen, but instead they will just make excuses. Just like cons :-)
Yes, of course, Ray Gun, the Bible is God's word. He even left his fingerprints on some of the original pages, when the ink was still wet.
So you admit the bible is fallible? If it's fallible what good is it? What parts to we believe? What parts do we discard?
Well, Ray Gun, when religious zealots say that AIDS is God's punishment of the Gays, then sane people must understand that the Bible is open to interpretation, and that each of us must have his own personal moral compass, and his own understanding of what is right and wrong, in order to properly interpret the Bible.
Step Number One is to know the difference between Right and Wrong, and between Sanity and Insanity. That must be your starting point. From there, you will know how to interpret the Bible.
So, if that is your starting point, then the next time someone says that AIDS is God's Punishment of Gays, you will know the correct response, and you will also know whether the speaker is interpreting the Bible Sanely or Insanely.
"is interpreting the Bible Sanely or Insanely."

But CJP, since God is this all powerful being, that created the universe, couldn't he make the bible a little more accurate? A little more clear? Even given the differences in language (which God himself caused, I will give you the quote if you want) why couldn't he make his truth less open to interpretation? After all, the bible says some pretty crazy crap, which taken to mean what it says, can only mean one thing.
Whether any one actually follows the evil words, the words still say what they say. Kill has one meaning to me.
Oh, Ray Gun, you know that "kill" has many different meanings -- not just one.
Every time, I go to see a cabaret show in New York, I always hear: "He killed them -- he really killed them".
Do you think I should start looking for all the dead bodies in the audience?
Ray Gun, you know that God is a Show Man.
Where do you think Flo Ziegfeld and David Merrick got all their talents?
If Flo and David can talk about "killing" their audience -- then why can't God?
Ray Gun:
Patriotism is a Good Thing. Even so, as you know, "An excessive patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
Likewise, the Bible is a Good Book. Even so: "The Devil can quote Scripture." And, as you have so aptly pointed out, there is a lot in the Bible for the Devil to quote.
The Koran is a Good Book. Millions of good people around the world believe in the Koran, follow its teachings, and lead good peaceful lives. Even so, today, we find many Devils throughout the world quoting the Koran, and misleading the naive and the gullible, to achieve their own evil goals.
So, Ray Gun, even though they can all be turned on their heads and used for wicked purposes, still: Patriotism, the Bible, and the Koran are all basically good things. Why? Because they have influenced many more people to lead good lives than bad lives.
Nothing in human life is black or white. Everything is Gray -- even the Word of God.
Sorry CJP, never knew God to be a comedian.
I guess when he said "death" below, he really meant put you children to bed. Death only means go to sleep? Sounds like con reasoning to me.
Death for Hitting Dad

2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
God just kidding around again. He doesn't mean death, as in the end of life, he really means, you will be obliged to take a nap, err "put to nap". "Put to nap", that does sound much nicer.
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
God calling for more nap time.
God sure leaves a lot of ammo lying around for the devil. Because He's a fair guy, and wants a fair fight? Or is He cruel and ingrains confusion in his stupid creatures to fuel the fires of hell with new bodies else the fires will go out?
Matthew 25:41 (Jesus speaking to people at final judgment), ...Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matthew 18:8, 9 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Sorry CJP, God does not sound like a very nice guy as ever lasting torment is pretty cruel, anyway you look at it.
Con reasoning: That damned devil, It's all his fault.
