Bad, yes I have biases against homosexuals and others that, I consider to be deviants. But, to cut this short, if you do not believe that the God of the Bible, exists, then you no longer exist, in my mind. If you didn't have bad karma, you would have no karma at all. TD

to Bad Karma;

interesting ideas, so full of woe for Christianity...

" but I'll bet you have a 100 and 1 daily acts of discrimination that you never thought about."
-so things that you don't intentionally do are disciminatory simply because someone else gets hurt? Bah! you know that 1 million dollars you still owe me from when your uncle's granfather agreed to pay my great grandfather back, well, forget about it, I don't need it anyway. silliness.

" equal rights to everyone "
-realistically this is an ancient moral idea, never in history has it come to fruition. Most recently it has been put forth as the BEST idea since sliced bread. But think about it real hard and you'll see why communism doesn't really work.

" in fact the Isrealites that did the slaughter "
-so you blame Moses for letting the sea crash down upon the pharoh's legion(s)? well, who exactly parted the sea in the first place?
-and the Isrealites didn't go door to door killing children...
-but I'll grant you that they did and do still do a fair share of killing, as do/did all "groups" of people. you make a group big enough and someone slaughtered someone else sooner or later.

"Fact is, the so called god of the bible does not exist."
-pretty bold for a Jesus thread.
-I have to disagree, it is not "just a book". It is a collection of stories, carefully edited and rewritten to influence our understanding of God. But to say that God does not exist is simply a silly thing to do on a Jesus thread. If you want to argue whether anything exists at all, go find yourself(if you exist) a Zen thread or something(if it exists).

only 16 eh? well, finally it got played out right... unless you're still Jewish. ;)

"I ask the question to get you to question the line you have been sold."
-interesting idea here. we ALL (even you if you exist) have been sold something.

and as far as the theme "us vs. them" - yup absolutely, right on the mark. It IS us against them, or more correctly, their "evil" influence. You might have me believe that everyone in the world is a good person. This is quite silly.

"the greatest trick the devil ever played was to trick man into believing he never existed"
-The Usual Suspects (us?)

-I don't remember who:
"that's the thing I never did like about America... a man will walk up to you on the street and introduce himself long before you know if he is a friend or an enemy..."

-maouse

ps. have you ever read any books on communism? it's interesting how the walk is different from the talk... just like religion most times... must be something about man's social behavior.
