Ok, we have a system of laws/beliefs that reflect a book (Bible) that is a bit suspect factually.Dangerous,no?

It's more poetic junk in the Bible that you can really interpret to whatever you want it to be.  This bit seems to be more threats of hellfire for those outside the group.  Religion likes to use the carrot and stick approach to gaining and keeping converts.  This is one example of a stick.  On the carrot side of it, they'll talk about "God's love" and such (ignoring, of course, such contradictions as this).

The main focus will be PC.  God forbid someone should write what they believe is the truth if it by any chance may be offending to those who don't believe in the Bible!

True, when the leaders twist the laws for their own purposes.  I agree 100 %\n\nBut that does not mean that Religion and government is bad, just that we should not allow people to manipulate us for their OWN good by twisting it.\n\nPeace!

It depends on if you are going to view it as fiction(which is what is intended).  But, it does make one stop and wonder if any of it is true.  Which would mean that the Catholic Church, and a lot of other important folks have kept a lot of truths from all of us for many years.  And why would they do that?  Check out the book"Demons and Angels", by Dan Brown.

ive read a few of them. they are good books for entertainment. but of course you shouldnt believe what it says. thats just the opinion of the authors veiw of what will happen. the holy bible is the only book anyone should believe.

Yes. I don't believe that the Bible is infallable by any stretch. But I believe almost all religions believe in the same supreme being. If you think of life on earth through history it's not an accident... it's an amazing plan.

that might have been contradicting to the ideas of some other author.  This way you can see how the Bible is tried to be manipulated by some shrewd persons. In that case where remains the authenticity of the Bible, where any body can modify any part of the Bible?

Not all Christian truth is in the Bible. A lot of Christian truth is made up of sacred tradition.

False. The Bible is a masterpiece of ancient literature with some good advice and wisdom. Your brain is the owner's manual should you choose to let it be.

If someone is imposing their will on yours, then you may kill that person.  That's how I understood it when I read the Satanic Bible.  The whole book seems to be very self-oriented; if anything offends you, get rid of it.  They are just as nuts as all the other religions.

Nothing from the bible has been proven except obvious things (the sun rose that morning lol). There's much better explanations for nature and the workings of the universe than the bible has ever given. EVIDENCE and FACTS point towards things VERY different than those written in the bible. It's vastly outdated and filled with lies and things we should long have forgotten.

No, different peoples beliefs on how to worship God. The bible was written by other people, not God...its like a folktale being told...thru the many times it is retold the story changes...The only CLEAR CUT message is that God wants you to believe in him.

I like very much the way you started: ALL RISE!\nAnd there is no legal system which is perfect!\nMoreover, though, I do not trust "god" and this is due to the fact that god never talks to anyone, except the leaders (which gives me suspicions that the leaders claim they were told by god! - what do you think?)\nFor example, whenever someone attacks another, in the last 16 centuries, they claim that god ordered them to do that! Last, but not without importance was the Bush claim for America's and her allies to Iraq!

Since the bible is a book of fiction it should not be taken seriously.

LOL! That is a weird theory, but I know what you mean. It is a joke to think people would take a book as more proof than scientific facts. And a god that is constantly destroying his own creation for political reasons is even more absurd.

I agree with you and have said the same thing myself many times.  From my point of view the bible is much like Grimms fairy tales.  To be used as and example of right and wrong.
