  The Confederate Flag

  by Simon in

  the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

  he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

  not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

  So if I’m reading this right, only America is dysfunctional.

  Simon didn't say that, so no, you aren't reading it right.

  I believe the person that committed this horrible crime stands only with the K.K.K. ideology that was started by Adolf Hitler on wanting to make a master white race.

  The KKK existed long before Hitler was born, so no, not right.

  Also the first slavers in American soil were the Native Americans after the 13 colonies settled in, not the African Race that was forced into slavery 100 hundred years later.

  Which has exactly nothing to do with any of this, so pointless.

  FYI, even if you have valid points, using WND as a source just makes you look utterly looney.

  Well, it can't be banned due to freedom of speech. But, on the bright side, anytime I see someone flying, I know that I already know everything I need to know about that person.

  Think of it like them voluntarily putting on the dunce cap.

  The Bible is NOT Error-Free

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.

  but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?

  why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

  Are you honestly suggesting that the Golden Rule and Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son morality has no place in the 21st Century?

  It's more interesting why you think 1) those morals are unique to the Bible 2) your wishes trump others (golden rule) or 3) that children should be rewarded with comfort and ease for wasting their life and money.
  

  Or the total equality of Galatians 3:28?

  
  That scripture doesn't preach total equality.

  just because two people pop up on this Board with similarly clear thinking, rational views, it surely cannot mean they are one and the same person ?

  Everyone knows wimmins be shoppin and don't know how to use logic or maths and stuff.

  I trust that you mean that Viv and you are different posters with no relationship whatsoever. If that is what you are saying, I trust your word, and thank you for your kind clarification.

  Unless, of course, we are the same person and just a proxy to post from different continents depending upon which account is being used.

  Among other things, Judge and scorer of above 98% in the LSAT, Cofty aka Vivian?, whether anyone at all endorses or believes in the Bible's moral code that you do not like, does not affect the Bible in the least as being inspired by God or not being inspired by God.

  I've no idea what madness your on about. LSAT? Me and Cofty? The Biblical moral code? I've no idea how in your head you are stringing these things together or what you mean.

  IF you need some help with your mental problems resulting from your fears, go to a doctor. IF you have a problem with the liberty that people enjoy in believing in the Bible's moral code, tough for you, and whether you like it or not, in the USA that liberty is the law of the land.

  Look, just because you endorse a pro-rape and pro-rape moral code and can't defend it, that's no reason to go around saying ridiculous things. Also, you clearly don't like what I am saying, so, tough for you. Liberty and all that.

  I wrote about Paul's statement because I am so tired of people saying that Paul was inspired of God because he wrote that All Scripture is inspired of God. It obviously does not include his own writings.

  But what you wrote is something you made up with no way to verify it. Kris Kristofferson told us where he got his ideas. No such luck with Bible writers or Paul.

  Do you have an example of the Bible intentionally lying?

  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.
