Stereotyping & Religion

[quote]Roofguy, read what I said again, you have taken almost everything out of contest, and knock the chip off your shoulder whilst you are at it, and try to present a counter argument that is shaped with thought/knowledge.

I'll leave it to yo>>>

I am very interested in the topic of where the moral code came from. With further investigation in our lives we can only admit to what we have formed or opinions around. Where do these markers come from ? What makes sense to me is in every human born ther>>>

I don't have any problem with the notion that God is an extra-terrestrial being.

Also don't have any problem with God as a crutch. God knows I could use one lol. Much better God as a crutch, than alcohol, drugs, hedonism, materialism, me-ism, and many>>>

So the moral code is genetic? I take it you mean conscience when you refer to the law of the spirit. To have a conscience you have to have a sense of right and wrong, (if you do not then the conscience has no foundation to operate from), and that can onl>>>

I don't have a problem with it either JSC, in fact if he exists, how could it be otherwise? But does'nt the bible at least discourage it's readers from believing there is life elsewhere?>>>

Hi Ciak,

On paper that sounds good. I am wrong, no it does not.

So Christ was just killing time till he died on the cross for our sin. Since we have the still small voice, he needed to teach us nothing. His only sermon would have been, you have a still>>>

I think the cannibal analogy brings up a good point. Knowing the difference between right and wrong! Once you know that something is legally wrong, to continue to do it is a crime. Punishable etc.... When it comes to religious law, I would have to co>>>

Hitler was an extreme example of someone who didn't listen to the still small voice. Wherever Hell is he there. God stamped his laws on our hearts and they are our compass if we listen.The benefits for this world is health happiness love and knowing the>>>

As long as I confess my sins every Sunday, If doesn't matter WHAT I decide to do the other 6 days. Life is good like that.:laugh:>>>

We have done nothing to deserve this. It is God laws . All we have to do is follow the plan. That is another reason why human life is sacred . Is there an edit button on this forum ? Please let me know.>>>
