If this is "faith", none for me please

I am never amazed at how gullible people can be

Nah. It doesn't bear thinking about.

Not as cultured as Stephen Fry, but is more funny.

Why would GOD need Money?   MAN INVENTS HIS GOD to suit his own requirements. Nev

[onetrack]

It's impossible to separate Americans from Money and God, in that order. They will make out they worship an omnipotent God, but the Almighty Dollar is what they really worship - along with The Gun, of course. And they believe God gave them both to the Americans, so Americans could be the dominant culture in the world, subjugating any nation they decide they want under their control.

Then they regularly espouse the American "Freedom" mantra - which of course, means, to have American Freedom, you have to worship Money, Guns, and God, in that order.

Of course, lawyers receive a great deal of worship and adulation in the American System, too. Especially when they transfer mind-boggling sums of American dollars to the plaintiffs.

The POWER of LAW  is replaced by the LAW of POWER.   Nev

Whenever I was feeling all alone, stuck in some isolated grubby motel, away from the comforts of home......

I'd rummage through the bedside drawer for anything to read. Alas, the only thing I ever found was a Gideon's Bible. 

In desperation I'd open it in hope of finding some mental stimulation beyond what the local TV repeater offered.

 

The first pages hold nice, uplifting positive affamations.... then there is The Old Testament. Wow. Lots of heavy rather unscientific stuff about laws controlling what animals shall be sacrificed for what occasions, & when it is time to stone women to death, etc, etc. 

I guess later on the eight commandments made life easier for the common man (person). 

 

All too depressing - small wonder there is so much suicide in the bush. 

 

Maybe the book is due for revision again....

 

Question - is Scripture teaching fact?

Whose Scripture? What revision number?

Does it come with a change log and was it stored in a code repository so we can track document changes back to confirm the original author(s)?

Plenty of sects out there, making up their OWN version of God's word.. If you want clarity and freedom of thought give it a MISS. No one can handle the GUILT.  Nev
