Christians Vote on the Worst Verse in the Bible
Commented Oct 04, 2009 at 03:27:03 in Living
“ALL religions are Man-Made constructs concocted in antiquity from prevailing superstitions incorporating the myths, symbols, representations of forces, idols, cults, fears, anxieties, desires etc. Man’s search for meaning and desire to define the unknown is strong. Fear of the unknown and Hope for a better future are strong motivators. Someone came up with the concept of the Carrot at the End of a Stick. Convincing masses of people of a ‘Future’ reward for following the ‘Code’ allowed for the manipulation of masses and taxes for public projects and armies to protect the way of life of the Leaders and a daily ration of Beer and a Loaf of Bread for the Led. Sound Familiar?
Lawyers sat down to encode the ‘legalities’ in order to stack the deck for the privileged few that were part of the ‘original’ Fraternity. Unfortunately the human need to rule/power seeps in and seeks to hijack the group/fraternity from the established leaders. When they made ‘mistakes’ that did not suit their agenda they simply moved the ‘Goal Post’ as necessary to suit their wishes/needs. Double Standards were born. Double/Speak. Every so called 'Holly' book has been edited and reedited to subjugate women and justify other madness too.
Can anyone own God if there is such an entity?”

“What about not detonating the bomb in the air for maximum radius of destruction and just letting the crater speak for it's power?
I would think 3 huge craters would have sent the message pretty clearly.
Just a thought.”

I can Walk In although I seldom have to ( I have not had to visit Emergency Room in Years!)since I am In Control and Engaged in my Personal Well Being! I have a Dietitian that has Coached/Educated to avoid Cholesterol a little more so I now have Healthy Levels! If the local VA/Carl T. Hayden PHX does not do a procedure they send me to a Private Hospital or Doctor. We have a Patient Bill of Rights AND Responsibilities posted on the hallway and an Open Door Policy with a Patient Representative in case we have any concerns. My Blood Boils when I hear the criticism of the Veterans Hospitals. Are they perfect? Is your Doctor/Hospital Perfect?

“Every conflict is costly to ALL . The human cost including; the lasting damage to our collective soul, and that of successive generations. Material gains always negate any gain envisioned by the participants. The lasting resentments, that often lead to other wars by the same victors/vanquished, both of whom felt forced to arms. In an ever shrinking world with finite resources, and a rapidly expanding population, we can no longer afford the luxury of not learning from our mistakes.
In my estimation, despite over 10,000 years of what we refer to as civilization, we have not progressed one iota from the concept of a marauding Gangsters. One of the most infamous gangsters in history, Joseph Stalin is quoted as saying; 'They attacked us like gangsters' referring to Hitler's Operation Barbarosa.
'God' has been used to justify the killing of 'infidels' by ALL religions. How ironic that merciful 'Gods' have been USED to perpetuate pain and suffering on so many.
The motto 'Gott Mit Uns' was used by Nazi elite units during WW2, stamped on their belt buckles it translates to; God is with US!
All power comes with commensurate responsibility. We must learn to promptly recognize when we are wrong, and follow that acknowledgement with a just correction. This ability is VIRTUE, strength, and not a weakness. We need to overcome primitive emotions or perish. If the moral reasons don't convince us, consider the fact that avoiding WAR is always cost effective.”
