You know it is a darn shame that someone who is more reputable didn't post this thread because it's an interesting topic. But I am not going to feed the troll.

Pretty sure Sverige has been with us for some time and is not a troll. I think just the user name is new.

You would recognize the old one. I'll will not mention it in order to protect his/her privacy.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't base the "troll" thing on him being new, but the fact that he has yet to add things of substance to threads he contributes to. That and he's barely literate (paragraph breaks- learn it, live it, love it). He ends up saying inflammatory things accidentally on purpose and not contributing.

So this is me judging. Troll, troll, Trollshika McTroll, troll.

OK - I'll bite -

Anyone here read Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn? That addresses a lot of these issues in a very novel manner.

Well, IMHO, most of what we have deemed as what is moral and immoral was dictated to us under a religious code.

Murder is wrong for those who call themselves Christians because God said it was so in The Commandments.

However, it can be said that Jesus Christ was murdered at the hands of the Pharisees and in fact Pontius Pilate washed his hands so that he would not be implicated in allowing his murder to occur. Some say, that the way the Resurrection was written was to not to offend the Romans, though...

Anyhow, needless to say, the morality or immorality of the whole murderous issue goes out the door when there is war...

Hey, nowadays, folks are dying left and right at the hands of soldiers and suicide/homocide bombers... Who is right?

But in the United States, there is this thing called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And there is a code of conduct as dictated by society. I am sure all the Sociology majors are more than happy to explain to the rest of us the design of what we call society. So, since we live in this situation now that has undergirded us through birth, humans have evolved this elaborate scheme of morphing realities based on what the "powers that be" deem as necessary.

Simply put, the one with Gold Rules--that is the Golden Rule...

I can say this, there the Gene Doctors have not yet identified the genetic programs that dictates one's predisposition or predilections to commiting crime or immoral acts...

I read it this summer, but I think I have to go back and read it again before I really process it.

I second the recommendation though.

I would do the whole battle of wits thing with you, but you are obviously not equipped for it.


I will however, continue to laugh at you. So carry on by all means.

And you telling someone they need to have sex is a ridiculous thing to say. Get over yourself. You bring up decent topics to discuss, but yet state the most outlandish things. I sometimes wonder what your motives truly are- to get a decent discussion going or just make assinine comments.

I think it is important to understand there is a distinction between God and religion. Huge difference. Man-made rules and doctrines are what gets us into trouble.

I've been studying Hebrew, Greek, history, science and archeology and I have to say, the Bible is a pretty credible document.

A non-Christian reporter, Michael Drosnin, wrote a book called the Bible Code that validates the divine authorship of the Bible. Secular and agnostic scientists, mathematicians and physicists who studied the code conceded that no human could have written this book. The study was endorsed by the American math journal, Statistical Science. It’s editor, a professor at Carnegie Mellon said the study passed several rigorous tests before being endorsed. He said some of the most brilliant minds were baffled. The scientists agreed that not even today’s “fastest computers in the Pentagon could not have encoded the Bible in the way it was done 3000 years ago.”

For example, the Bible is encoded with several future events including the specific mentions of the assassinations of Yitzhak Rabin, Anwar Sadat and both John and Robert Kennedy. It predicts the election of Bill Clinton, the Great Depression, and states “man on the moon” with “space ship” and “Apollo 11”. No human could have known that.


So before anyone disses the Bible as written by man and fairy tales, you should check out this book.
