Gill,
I think this thread proves a lot about the nature of this Jewish God. He clobbers people for the sins of others changes his values on whim then according to the new christian's take on this God tortures his son to death.
None of this is necessary. It's just sick minded religious/political fools getting together over time to maintain religion, culture, tradition and nationalism of a period long ago that has unfortunately stuck around to haunt us.
Why tortured to death?

Jesus IS GOD, He claimed to be, He proved it and the facts are that at least several hundred witnessed Him being alive after His execution. 1) God made us. He let sin be a possibility for the greater good of having human beings who would have free will and NOT be puppets. 2) He already determined our life course and limited time. 3) He took all of the blame (sin) on himself. 4) He offers the free and unmerited gift of grace and favor to all who would accept it. 5) If you people keep 'biting the hand that feeds you' time will eventually run out.
In eternity you will then have all of your questions and doubts answered. Your choice is smoking or non-smoking.Jesus taught us that the peace between God and man was readily available. His life and teachings are much superior to any that have proclaimed themselves as prophets.
Are you whiners ever going to move on with your lives?

Spectrum - That being the case, non of it being real or true anyway, just jumbled traditions, makes it even sadder that so many still cling to it as truth and their reason for being and living.
Shining One - Someone has to light the road ahead for others searching for freedom. Perhaps we're the new Knights Templar, lighting the road for those who are just waking up to the reality of things and searching for the way out? And there's people like 'trolls' that these searchers need protecting from who would drag them back into the nonsense that religion really is - all myths, fantasy and control.
No one can glean the 'exact' truth of what is happening in the world today, even from every newspaper written. And yet people claim to have the 'truth' about the meaning of what may or may not have happened 2000 years ago, from fragments of copied scrolls. It's impossible.

Why buy expensive china when you can run down to the 99cent store for dishes. You get what you pay for.
