You should read the part of the bible where it tells you lying is a sin. Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Exodus 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Proverbs 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. Quote

Guest Mettas Mother Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Why false witness is a sin ? Why can't the blessed judiciary with the help of god administer justice without the help of witnesses?

Winn Oh, my Winnie, is that the tabernacle where a girl from a non-mormon family goes in to be "sealed" and married to a mormon boy, and her parents can't even attend the wedding, excluded from the temple like they are vermin? That's pretty shitty, I think. At least when the Catholics make the non-Catholic convert in order to marry a Catholic, everybody gets to go to the wedding. Your religion ought to have a cable-tow cinched around its neck and thrown into the depths of the ocean. Quote

That's an original tall tale. Matter of fact, that's where the tall tale came from--- Tall Tower of Babel. Winn fell off and landed on his head. I've enjoyed the Isaiah, though, especially that wild technicolor hallucination in Isaiah 6 with the madcap UFO hovering in the temple, and God on his golden throne and all the six-winged angels, and the fire burning on the altar, and the angel flying down to Isaiah and burning the piss out of him with an ember from the fiery altar. It doesn't seem right to me. To burn the crap out of somebody you're consecrating to be your emissary here on earth and to predict the coming of Christ? That's no way to honor somebody to scorch his mouth with fire! Winnie, how would you like it for me to take a hot sizzling torch and burn your face with it? Or would it be any less painful if an angel administered the torture? It's a really fascinating scene, worthy of a writer eating psychedelic mushrooms or smoking some powerful hashish. Only thing that doesn't fit is the angel having to use tongs to carry the flaming ember. If an angel is immortal why can't he just carry the red-hot ember in his hand? Or beam it down from his comfortable chair by ol' Jehovah. Well, as Shakespeare, the great bard, has said, there are more things in heaven and earth than are known to thy philosophy. But I got a feeling Shakespeare thought Christianity was a big farce too. He spent more time with Paganism in his plays than with Christianity. Quote

You are no > exception. Aww, don't pout, little fella, just because someone hurt your feelings. When adults talk, sometimes they disagree. This isn't one of those times. We all agree that what you are saying is ridiculous. Jesus is not returning to judge the earth, no matter how strongly you wish it. It's no more real than that monster in the closet. When expressed by children, such beliefs are cute and harmless. When expressed by an adult, they are ridiculous, and in some cases, downright troubling. You really should take a cold, hard look at yourself in the mirror and decide whether you are an adult, or simply a child in an adult's body. Quote

No, what's entertaining is pointing out the gaping holes in logic theists keep stumbling into. Doesn't mean we have to take the mythology seriously. Quote
