Slashdot Mirror

SJW mods, please note: disagreeing with my comments does not make the facts overrated or flamebait, and I am certainly not a troll. Feel free to scream into a pillow instead if you need to let off steam, but don't break the Slashdot mod system simply because you disagree with someone. You claim to be tolerant, live it.

Laws were based on the 10 commandments (it was illegal to murder, steal, commit adultery, tell a lie under oath, etc.) http://www.bibleinfo.com/en/to... While there were other contemporary and historical countries like England with similar laws, they still originate from the 10 commandments. And no Hamurabi's law is not the same thing (and it is actually unlikely that it was first, if you actually want to look at the facts rather than pointed headed professors pet theories aka wild ass guesses).

Here is a list of the founding fathers and their religious affiliations. http://www.adherents.com/gov/F... Notice that there are no Muslims, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists etc. on that list. The men who wrote the constitution had at their core Judeo-Christian principles and those came through in the constitution. They appeal to God as the source of every person's basic rights in the Declaration of Independence for crying out loud. Everything was centered around ensuring people could live freely and practice Christianity which is why the first Amendment is about freedom of religion and speech. (Note that it is freedom of religion, not freedom from religion or separation of church and state, which does not exist in the constitution at all, the establishment clause only precludes the state from enforcing one religion on the populous).

Regardless of the revisionist BS history lies masquerading as "theories" that have been spread by the progressives as "facts", the truth is there if you are interested in looking, but you must be willing to listen instead of trying to drown out truth and reason with the sound of your own voice.

Yeah, the same 1500 year old church that burned people at the stake for claiming the earth revolved around the sun, and sentenced people to death for being in posession of a bible in a language they could actually read!

The same church that has spent the last century boinking defenseless little boys in orphinages across north america, and still has not done anything to punish the offenders.

Yeah -- that's right -- don't argue with that infallable bunch!

That is exactly why I can't figure out how there are still so many Christians who hold to the rediculous concept of eternal torture. As a Christian, that idea is not compatible with my faith, or with the rest of scripture. Taken individualy, some texts might be misunderstood to suggest the common myth, but in context it just doesn't hold water.

Hell being a place in the middle of the planet that is run by a red, pointy-tailed being with a pitchfork is pure fairy tale fantasy and not solid theology. These ideas are often based on tradition and "my momma told me..." than serious scholarly study. That is not to say that hell does not exist, just that many people have a fundamental flaw in their concept of exactly what it is.

Try this concept of hell. It relates closely to a more accurate understanding of death as described in the Bible. (more) Also fully compatible with a better interpretation that deals with that silly "secret rapture" notion fundamentalists make laughable movies about.
