I believe in God but I hate the church...

OT: Please allow me to give an analogy, could one consider a tractor to be the farm, it's a part of the farm, but not actually produced the farms products.

@T: If GOD create the his church and you are against that church, then what you are to GOD.

God never created the church. so you can take that out of your analogy.

Thou shalt not kill is the commandment of GOD,
As humans that errs there is always a fallacy in the attempt to follow this, Moses was also a human.
It's not GOD's fault as always the errors are attributed to us.

which brings us back to gawd's innocence...a self cleansing mechanism designed with scapegoats and fall guys.

just curious...how do you weigh such orders if they were handed down to you...

thou shall not kill.
thou shall not disobey thy gawd.

...and then gawd sez KILL those peeps over the hill/kill your son for me.

to govern thru fear... it really works wonders....
thats a very authoritarian way of ruling isnt it?


i personally believe that :

"let man do good things to his fellows with love as a motivation... not fear... let him do it with all his heart.. not thru fear of consequence if he doesnt do it..."

"let man do whatever he wishes, say whatever he wants, think however he likes... but make him accountable for whatever happens..."

i agree.

what bible morality as what tirong implies is simply security camera/big brother morality.
you would only expect them to behave and be good when the security cam is ON...out of FEAR.

why not do good things because they're good. not out of FEAR.

and not for the sake of reward. -J. Krishnamurti

i like that, miyay.

well, doing good has its own reward. it's a little hedonistic. when you do good, you feel good inside. to paraphrase deathfox

Why hate, when you can ignore. Emotional attachment is a heavy burden and if you are not willing to carry it, just press that ignore button.
