No, that was me not having written anything in French for about 13 years! And you're still not following standards in being lazy! That's the trouble with the world today, no religion, not oil, not Mr. Bush - it's the lack of standards!

Although Krimsa, the church is keeping up at the moment.

The papal administration is saying that there could be aliens, but if there are, then they are xtian aliens.

and ..

they have updated the 7 deadly sins.

So, you have to give them credit for that.

Abortion is still a sin but stoning unruly children isnt.

Im confused.

But that's the whole point about being lazy.
I dont have to adhere to standards. You said it yourself, the two are not mutually exclusive, but they can be used in tandem.

You arent alone. Ive been reading the bible the past couple hours and my eyes are watering from laughing so hard. I like this one.

Deuteronomy 24:16

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Its a good book for sex, drugs and murder. Although the hero gets it in the end, he, kind of, cheats by getting dad to help him back home.

Im still waiting to find out if the butler did it.

Ouch!

The Bible is so obcessed with sin and punishment that it almost never speaks about anything positive.

How anyone can believe that God is so negative is beyond me.

It's truly disturbing to me that so many humans would worship this God as being righteous. It only goes to show me that they have very low moral values of their own.

In light of the Bible it would seem that many modern day Christians actually have higher moral values than there God.

Any Christian who is against the death pentalty clearly has higher morals than the biblical God.

The biblical God is anxious to see anyone murdered who has sinned at all!

If we followed the bible we wouldn't need jails. If you are found guilty of a crime (which would almost always also be a sin) you should just automatically be put to death according the GOD!

Zero tollerance for disobedience.

This the God that the Christians claim to worship!

Jesus can't have changed all that.

The original God said, "Thou Shalt have no other God's before me!"

And God is also supposed to be non-changing. So if there was ever a time when he wanted sinners to be murder then why would he change his mind?

Jesus clearly can't be the same God as the Old Testament.

That's a given!

you're gettin worked up again aren't you?

personally I believe in all the religions

What if Abra he is in all of us and the only finger pointing you can do reflects off a glass back at yourself.

Would judgements go away?

Im just relieved that our modern legal system inherited the code of Hammurabi given to us by the ancient Babylonians rather than the "justice" espoused in the bible. Pretty much we would not even bother with trial and proceed directly to stoning out in the parking lot of the court house if that had been the case.

Bloody Hell!! We would be forever in the parking lot! The amount of unruly children to be stoned would keep the stoning police busy for years!!!

For disobeying parents

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21

Deuteronomy sucks...

seems like once you get the kids stoned, they quit being unruly

My hero!!!
Sounds like a blinding plan.

Blinding Good, ma man!

According to Jesus we will be judged as we judge. Therefore in a very real sense we are our own judges.

You must accept this if you trust the Bible to speak for Jesus.

Jesus also taught us not to judge.

If we don't judge, and we are judged by how we judge, then we won't be judged at all.

That's what Jesus taught.

If I'm going to take Jesus at his word I expect that come 'judgment day' I will not be questioned at all.

I have passed no moral judgments on anyone, thus according to Jesus no moral judgments will be passed on me.

Those are his words. If he can be trusted to speak the truth. Then this is the way it must be. The pearly gates will just open for me like the automatic doors at the Wal-mart. No questions asked. So says Jesus.

You will be judges as you judge others.

I judge no one. Therefore, according to Jesus, I will not be judged.

Here is my looking foward to equal Justice. If this was followed. Many crimes would never be procecuted.

A good system..

Deut 19:15-21

"One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established. 16 If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, 17 then both men in the controversy shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. 18 And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, 19 then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you. 20 And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you. 21 Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
NKJV




Do you see where an eye for an eye comes from it its proper context? It comes in about false witnesses

but you sound awfully judgmental
