Don't forget that the genocidal deity of the OT was the god and father of gentle Jesus meek and mild. You can't have one without the other.

Sin and death - how does it make sense to ANY believer of ANY religion?
by BourneIdentity insince adam and eve’s fall, we are all sinners.
it’s what we do, there is no way to change it, sinning is a daily part of life.
there are major sins, but most of us commit minor ones everyday in words, thoughts or deeds.

as clever people know
Which is shorthand for 'l have no evidence at all for what I am about to say'
We live in the greatest time in all of human history.
A general feeling of angst is a hallmark of religiously inclined people especially cult members.
Try reading some actual data like Stephen Pinker's 'The Better Angels of our Nature' or 'Enlightenment Now' by the same author. Also Michael Shermer's 'The Moral Arc'.
Facts trump religious bias every time.

North-East England just a few miles south of the Scottish border.
(Please add a pic of your hometown if you can)
Here is Berwick. You can see the defensive walls that date from the time when Scotland and England didn't play nice. A walk around the top of the walls is a nice way to spend half an hour.

you are a fallen sinner by nature like the rest - Joan
I'm not a fallen sinner. There was no original perfection; therefore no fall, and the story will not end in utopia.
The human race - that you despise - is better now than in any time in history. Our story is one of amazing progress.

UK Civil Service Damns UK Government
by cofty infollowing the daily covid19 briefing, in which boris johnson defended his advisor dominic cummings for travelling to his family estate after showing symptoms of the virus, the civil service official twitter feed posted the following.. .
the tweet was quickly deleted.
i can't overstate how unthinkable it is that the service should publicly criticise the government of the day.. boris' defense of cummings is a huge error in judgement and will destroy its credibility.

It is disgraceful.
Imagine not being allowed to be with your wife or husband in their dying hours and the man who helped form the government's policy is driving hundreds of miles with a wife who is symptomatic just in case they have childcare needs in the future.
Lots of unanswered questions. Would Boris' closests advisor really take off to Durham without first informing his boss? I doubt it. No wonder Boris won't fire him.
Cummings is currently making a statement on BBC. He still thinks he didn't break any rules. To be fair there were loopholes in the guidance but somebody in his position needs to be exemplary.
Am pleasantly surprised by your take on this - SBF
Why? I have never been ideologically wedded to any politician or party. I just have a low tolerance for those who do.

Do as we SAY, but not as we DO!
by BoogerMan in"it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they've been fooled.
it's not just jw's who blindly follow their leaders.
it's horrifying to see how easily mass-hysteria has been instilled in a nation.

Boogyboy getting his science from some rambling man on YouTube and pretending that equates to 'information'.
I spotted specific lies in the first 2 minutes.

Fadeaway - Chequers was the perfect place to recuperate after his battle with Covid19. I think you are being a bit petty. On the other hand Cummings actions are indefensible.

Boris' defense of Cummings is a huge error in judgement and will destroy its credibility. I suspect it will come to light that Boris knew of his advisor's intention to travel in advance. Heads will roll over this. It remains to be seen which heads and how many.

The ransom makes no sense
by BourneIdentity inif mankind needed to be redeemed from sin and death, why didn't the redemption happen as soon as jesus successfully lived his entire life without sin and sacrificed his life?
if he was successful, the price was paid and we'd all be living forever.
it's all bullshit, or jesus fucked up and sinned, so it nullified his sacrifice.

There is hope for our despicable race nevertheless - Joan
Utterly contemptible. I am so pleased I am no longer infected by that mind virus.
