HI-intellect
I'm pretty smart I guess.
Why were Jesus and Moses the only people allowed to get cheat codes to reality?
I want cheat codes too.
1 AnswerReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDidn't God know when he mixed the languages at the Tower of Babel?
That there would be things lost in mistranslation when people interpreted the bible?
Is he really this incompetent?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy did Jesus say he was not here to abolish the law but add on to it?
Matthew 5:17-20
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Doesn't that mean that the old testament rules are still in effect?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians is this how you interpret the bible?
I've been here a while and I've started to see a pattern so tell me if I got this.
1)When faced with the fact that God has genocidal tendencies in the old testament just say things were either A. different back then B. all part of god's plan or C. use Pascal's Wager
2)When verses like He hangs the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7) say things like the bible knew about earth revolving around the sun but when given verses like
He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)
say either A. He was speaking metaphorically B. you're taking things out of context or C. use pascal's wager
3) Use the bible when discouraging homosexuality but when it comes to tattoos (Leviticus 19:28), divorce (Mark 10:9), wearing gold (1 Timothy 2:9), or eating shellfish (Leviticus 11:10) say that either A. the laws change so god is totally cool with that now B. you're taking things out of context or C. use pascal's wager
4)When saying how barberic God's system is of sacrificing his son and he could have forgiven people without the need for anyone to die say
A. It's part of God's perfect plan even though his plan involves people dying, starving children etc. B. We cannot know the mind of God even though his plans involve genocide etc. or C. well you pretty much get the idea
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoExtremely confused, how are Christians persecuted in the USA when they make up the overwhelming majority?

25 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do you heretics still believe in the THEORY of gravity?
You don't see everything falling randomly do you? Doesn't it make since if everything falls straight down because GOD doesn't want us to fall up?
That's why we should believe in intelligent falling.
And while we're at it we should also do away with Heliocentric Theory, the theory that the sun is the center of our solar system and Germ theory.
Silly atheists everyone knows that demons calls diseases as described in the bible and the earth is the center of the universe.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do most creationists regurgitate what their preist or AiG tells them?
Ex: God gives us freewill.
God wants us to choose him and he's a god of justice.
God doesn't need a creator because he's the creator and if he needs a creator he's not god.
All the bad things are a result of Adam and Eve and apples and Satan.
Atheist's lives are meaningless and are going to hell.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics would have burned up randomly producing Boeing 747 fossils laid down in Noah's Ark.
Evolution is only a theory.
Anything god is justified so its ok to kill babies and cause genocide because he's god and it's not the same because we have the new testament and that means he changed his mind but that means that it doesn't apply so no quoty the old testamenty.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians, is this how your free will works?
Lets say I build a robot called Mr. Roboto, and he is designed to be the greatest robot ever and do everything i say. Due to a computing error Mr. Roboto destroys everything that he doesn't like except me.
I could easily reprogram the robot with a code that only I know, but I wanted the robot to have free will.
Now instead of just reprogramming the robot, lets say I build another robot called Savior 2.0 and he protects you from Mr. Roboto. The only way he will save you is if you build a place where you worship me for saving you from Mr. Roboto and you accept Savior 2.0 as your savior.
Would you think of me as a pinnacle of love for making Savior 2.0 or an asshole for making Mr. Roboto in the first place?
