Why do we expexct Jehovah to be nice to people?
by Gill inwho said god had to be nice to anyone?
i was just reading gumby's thread on 'a big old lie' he'd found in the bible.. as far as i got reading, folks were discussing jehovah killing everyone most of the time and i suppose threatening to do again in the future, according to the wtbts.
but why do we expect god to be nice to people?

if god would exist, and the bible would be true, i wouldn't expect him to be nice. satan is much nicer, at least he says the truth.
in the garden of eden god tells adam to not eat from the tree of knowledge, as he would die the same day. satan says, no you are not going to die, but you'll be just like god. he eats, he does not die the same day. but god is afraid that he could also eat fruit of the tree of life and be like him (actually: them), so he quickly bans him from eden...
then he wrote a book to discredit satan and tell lies about him, but he forgot to edit that little story out before the book hit the stores. -

hm, deputy dog has a strange sense of justice...
about jesus being not that kind... he got angry, just because his disciples couldn't heal a posessed person. he got angry at the catering service at temple. he got angry at peter, just because he didn't want him to die. heck, he even got angry at a fig tree, because it didn't have fruit out of season.
he spoke in parables, so the people wouldn't understand and believe and perhaps being saved. he condemned whole cities to a fate worse than sodom and gomorrah. he accused the jews of being children of the prophets's murderers. he said, those who have should be given more, and from those who have not, everything should be taken away.
he called a greek lady a dog. he told a man who just lost his father to let the dead burry the dead. and he just loved to talk about eternal punishment and fire... -

jesus was not so nice to everyone either, according to the gospels...

Even stranger than drunken Noah - why did angels want sex with women?
by eyeslice inthis is a sort of parallel thread to the drunken noah thread.
the genesis account of angels 'materialising' and having sex with women always worried me as a witness.
in all animals, man included, the sex drive is hormonal.

in the early christian apocryphal scripture "the treasure cave" (and probably even earlier jewish traditions) the author tries to explain, that the nephilim were not the sons of the angels, because it's impossible for an angel to have sex. rather than that, cain's offspring mixed with seth's children, leading to a giant race.
what i find interesting about seth is, that the egyptian quasi-pendant to satan was seth (horus' brother, the god of sex and power - or as we say today "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll") while the anti-egyptian israelites had seth as their (good) forefather. i wonder if horus has some connection to cain then. -

Is religion the real reason for many wars?
by Pole ina lot of posters on this board have expressed the opinion that religion is the reason for many wars.
some have even implied that if religion was "banned" the number of wars would be reduced.

which extremes? i feel, organized religion is just a tool for power. and after all, spiritual leaders/priests and politicians have more in common than they might admit.

you mean from the very beginning, huh?
i'm sure religion was changed to fit political needs. OT is a great example. we need that country, so we make god say "destroy these people, let nobody live"... -

of course. so does racism and nationalism. but religion can amplify this mentality when fighting against "unbelievers". people may start to question the cause, if they fight against their "brothers". not so, if they are "sectarians" or "pagans". it justifies the killing.

Islam (who in the words of the Koran view Jews as filthy pigs)
could you provide us with the verse that says so? never read that in the quran... it says that a hypocritical jew looks like an ass though...
i think wars are rarely about religion. but religion is a great weapon in wars. it comes in handy to create a "we vs. them" ideology. and it's a great tool to make (naive) people want to die for a cause.
religion makes good people do bad things. -

tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...
don't know if this is true, but i heard some gossip about one member of fleetwood mac being an elder...
ah, and when i saw some "best of commercial clips" transmission on tv recently, there was a clip about a user not being able to log on to his computer. after the clip the host said "you see, nowadays it's easier for a JW to get into someone's apartment than for a user to get into his pc".
