dogma

just like how at one time the Church forbade the Bible to be read in any other language but Latin, and forbade people from thinking about what the Priests thaught them. Or how they killed the ugliest and most beautiful women in a community because they were of the devil.

These are direct quotes from YOUR bible.

an acquaintance of mine who's half Jewish would say to this the Torah (Old Testament) was doctored over time by the Pharisees and Levites to turn YHWH into a blood-thirsty, vengeful God. She makes a pretty compelling argument connecting the dots which makes sense considering what Jesus says about God - dwelling in the light and being the light who's also all-loving and all fogiving.

Other's believe YHWH was an entity - a dragon or a spirit depends on whom you ask - among several, that Moses chose

Good questions. Fortunately, God does not = those in His fan club.

Then tell me why the vatican won't allow gay marriage but will allow molestation amongst the prists within the church? They supposedly follow the word of god right? The "church" is nothing more than a corrupt agency that seeks out retards like yourself. You are a tool nuff said and I feel sorry for your son you brain washing tard.

And, charging the same is nothing less than a mortal sin

The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of those books but doesn?t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.?

He renounced atheism because he never considered his denial of a personal God as a denial of God. He very much believed in a ?superior reasoning force,? a ?superior mind,? an ?illimitable superior spirit? and a ?mysterious force that moves the constellations.?

That's what we are referring to as "God" in this thread.

He was smart dude...
