"same mould"
While we're distinguishing, I would add there should be a difference in
regard for conservative and liberal Abrahamic religion regarding misinformation,
harm, separation of church and state, and human rights. The main harm has come
from 'centric intolerance by those who believe or don't believe.Controversy over drone use

There seems to be a trend of the US having the worst favorability rating in
countries the US has criticized for having the worst human rights records.

Binghamton: "I've got you now, McHale." Wait for the end of the
episode:"George Zimmerman will not face domestic violence charges
because his girlfriend did not wish to pursue the case and there
was scant evidence of a crime, a state prosecutor said Wednesday."Samantha Scheibe's decision not to cooperate and the lack of
other corroborating evidence would have made the case difficult
to prove, State Attorney Phil Archer in Seminole County said in
a statement."Zimmerman, 30, had faced charges of aggravated assault,
battery and criminal mischief following a Nov.18 confrontation
at the central Florida house he shared with Scheibe. She
initially told police Zimmerman pointed a shotgun at her face
during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out
of the house."She recanted much of that in an affidavit filed this week in
which she referred to Zimmerman as 'my boyfriend' and said she
wanted him back."If convicted of the felony assault charge, Zimmerman could have gotten a maxi-
mum of five years in prison. He had been free on $9,000 bail prior to Archer's
announcement and had been ordered to stay away from Scheibe's house in Apopka."Zimmerman's attorney, Jayne Weintraub, filed a motion earlier this week asking
that the no-contact order be lifted. That motion included Scheibe's affidavit
stating she did not want the prosecution to go forward. -

by jgnat inhubby is a fan of pop culture, old movies, 70's muscle cars, and baseball among other things.
normally i will not allow him to browse on my computer as he misleads google on my profile.
i have no interest in filipino babes or cougars on the prowl.. i did allow him, however, to run a cruise through the internet to follow a line of inquiry.

It didn't happen. I remember at least one of Johnny's jokes being something
about them getting front doors slammed in their faces, though.

"a multitude of instruments to delight the soul" - Da Vinci's idea built at last.
by fulltimestudent inin leonardo da vinci's a codex atlanticus, a 12-volume collection of his manuscripts and designs for everything from weaponry to flight, there is a design for a musical instrument, that is a sort of musical instrument that a modern interpreter suggests has the characteristics of a harpsichord, organ and the viola da gamba.. no versions were ever built (tha twe know of)... until now.
a polish musician and instrument maker recently played a version of da vinci's invention at the academy of music in the southern polish city of krakow.. .
whether you like the music or not, slawomir zubrzyckis creation is a musical and mechanical work of art.. source: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/leonardo-da-vincis-wacky-piano-is-heard-for-the-first-time-after-500-years-20131118-2xpqs.html#ixzz2l1mmxc8k.

We are in God's "image" but God's morality is repugnant
by yadda yadda 2 inthe bible says in genesis that god made human beings in his "image".. this means that christians believe human beings were made with certain attributes that they share with god.
attributes such as intelligence, creativity, an appreciation of beauty, and sharing a similar set of cardinal moral and spiritual values around love, justice, mercy, etc.. this linked article explains it from a christian perspective more fully.http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/deeper-walk/features/23549-qmade-in-the-image-of-godq.
and yet....we find in the old testament that god performs or endorses the most morally repugnant acts, such as ethnic cleansing, killing infants and children, causing famines and plagues, drowning the entire human population except eight persons, etc, etc - all actions that any reasonable and objectively sane person naturally finds morally incomprehensible, disgusting, evil.. this article here outlines some of the actions described in the ot that any normal, sane person would naturally find morally abhorrent:http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/raymond_bradley/moral.html.

Liberal Abrahamic belief without an inerrant old text can be held by moral be- lievers. OT objections aren't all equal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics_in_the_Bible#Ethics_in_the_Hebrew_Bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_morality
Certain aspects, like famines, would be matters of God's prerogative, not human morality, of a God presiding over all the cosmos just as life isn't held to human morality. Yet someone can believe in life for the good of life and add afterlife as a sweetener. Interpersonal ethics are a different concern and followers would have more prerogative if obeying a God proven to them. I know no proof of God but an ancient intervention could be a modern faith choice.
If it's assumed the flood didn't happen the question of God's morality is like questioning the morality of someone playing GTA: I have the prerogative to run over old ladies to beat the timer in a race yet nobody is actually harmed. You just enjoy or find meaning in the story.
The best stance for criticizing the God of the OT would be in regard to something like killing gay people as abnormal which seems wrong even if followers had proof of God or herem if they didn't. Then again modern believers typically don't consider themselves as under Mosaic law, consider those who claimed to be as only brought along so far by God, may consider herem as an exaggeration of actual old tribal disputes, criticize conservative stances, etc.
