The world is infested with religious nincompoops who have far more power to shape our culture than I do, so I will stop talking about the imbecilic God theory when they do. > Ok, it is the child in you that blame his Father for not going back to > home to play with him. > Speaking of the influence your parents had on your adult life, haven't you ever wondered why religion and geography are so strongly linked, more specifically haven't you ever wondered why you're a Christian and not a Muslim or a Hindu ? It's not because of some deep philosophical reason, it's because your mommy and daddy were Christian and for no other reason. > Come to Him, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and He will give you > rest.

Matthew 11:29 For nearly any statement contained in that bronze age book of superstitions and fairy tales that we call the Bible you can find something just a few pages later that expresses the exact opposite idea. Our burden is light? "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return." Genesis 3:19 Or how's this for contradictions? "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" Exodus 21:24 "do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39 As for a benevolent God: " the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:8 John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
