Re: Relevance of the Ten Commandments [Re: Poid]

SirTripAlot:

I am aware of the numerous interpretations of the Bible and the many denominations. Tell me, what led you to state that I wasn't?

Poid:

Because you don't seem capable of understanding this

Something that is so vague and open to interpretation should not be used as a moral compass, it can be used to justify anything..Jesus fucking Christ, get a clue.

Are you really open minded on this issue of belief?  I think there is a lot more to your faith in god than just the answering of a prayer.

Here's my challenge for you.  I have read your bible through one time and the new testament several times. Now will you read one book I suggest?

If so read this book and get back to me in PM or on these boards.  The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker

If you are up to this challenge then my respect for you will greatly increase and my belief in your open minded search for truth wherever it leads.    If you then can tell me why in the face of that information you still believe in your god, I'll be all ears. I'd love to hear about it, seriously. Maybe you'll change my mind to boot.

The reason I said that is because of this: you are referring to when I asked if you understood that there are many interpretations of the Bible there in the bold. Instead of correcting you by telling you that I never stated that you weren't aware of the many interpretations, but rather asked if you understood that there are several interpretations, I just ignored your error and referred you to why I asked if you understand that there are several interpretations of the Bible (my statement "Something that is so vague and open to interpretation should not be used as a moral compass, it can be used to justify anything..Jesus fucking Christ, get a clue."). The fact that you don't seem to understand the idea that is expressed in that statement (that it is retarded to use something so vague and open to interpretation as a moral compass) encouraged me to ask you if you understand that there are several interpretations of the Bible. Had you understood that, I was thinking, you wouldn't do something retarded like use the Bible as a moral compass (I was assuming you are an intelligent, rational person).

If I had corrected your mistake instead of ignoring it, then this confusion (on your part) wouldn't have happened. It's funny, you make a mistake, I ignore it, and you think I'm the dumb one here. :lol:

What conjecture? I know it doesn't change my error..my error was in not pointing out your error and causing you to become confused and ironically fall under the false impression that you are the smart one here.


Of course, none of this changes the fact that you use an ancient book that lacks a clear and distinct message & which is extremely vague and open to interpretation as a moral compass, and that you cherry-pick which of your own idiosyncratic interpretations of the words contained therein you will follow/obey. :wow:

A book about a deadly river? I love adventure books. :thumbup:

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
