Quote from rcaldwell:
Stu, why do you quote the Bible out of context? He also said "those who live by the sword, die by the sword."
Quote from stu:
But I haven't quoted out of context.
It doesn't matter how many nice things the Bible claims Jesus Christ is supposed to have said , and that you might think the stuff you quote isn't out of context whilst the stuff I quote is, but neverthless the Bible does claim Jesus Christ said those things.
There is nastiness emanating from the supposed mouth of Jesus H Christ just as there is from Allah and plenty other so called gods wherever you look.
Just why do people need a character who is saying some good things and some bad things like Jesus Christ is , to do good things themselves anyway?
Good people do good things, Bad people do bad things.
It takes religion for good people to do bad things and still consider themselves to be good.
You're saying Jesus Christ was a criminal ? You're saying Jesus Christ did not see himself as a bad guy in saying the bad things he said because he could not see reality?Quote from jem:
That is one naive statement.
Have you ever talked to convicted criminals? Ever talk to guys in the mafia. Ever talk to drug dealers. Ever talk to con guys.
Many years ago I had coffee with a mob lawyer - he got paid in coke- which he then had to sell... you think he saw himself as a bad guy or a victim?
You know how criminals can justify what they did.... almost everyone. I suspect most people who do bad things do not see themselves as bad guys. Human beings rarely accept reality.
Most humans and most traders do not see reality. When you see reality you can begin to make money trading.
How many people make money trading..
Quote from maxpi:
Watch "Total Onslaught" videos. If anybody seems to be well-researched on the subject it's the speaker in those videos. He asserts that Islam was invented by Jesuits to use as a weapon in the Middle East.. I wonder if it didn't get out of hand a bit.. pretty funny if that is the actual case..
Of course I profess nothing but love for Islamists no matter how extreme, and Jesuits everywhere.. put the guns away boys, never mind who /where I am, I'm just a lonely scholar on an incredible journey of discovery... I might convert to Cathlo-Slam if it ever exists.. no really...
What do you mean am I quoting in context? Have you even read a Bible?Quote from jem:
Stu said -

Of course I was not talking about jesus. I was talking about your confused summary quoted above.
------
I would like to see what quotes from Jesus you find offensive? Are you quoting them in context?
I guess you do not understand the good news Stu.
Jesus said you have to believe God and repent.
Is that really harsh and mean and despicable?
You can choose to disbelieve - but you would have to be psychotic to call that message the names you have been calling it.
Quote from stu:
Then I'd say you'll have to show , how it is that some nasty things and some good things said by that Jesus persona are magically all made into only good things, without also being open to questions of delusion.
