USA leadership.
 

Can this be true?

I found a way to discreditc conservative religious fuckers?




George Bush says he's a Christian religious guardian, si?
He executed numerous criminals as Governor of Texas, si?


How many commandments are there? NINE or ten??? :)))

"To kill is to rob man of the great privilege reserved for God alone. Only God has the right to judge when the physical must end."

I think George "retard" Bush forgot about commandment numero five - THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

In other words - he's STILL full of shit (and a retard).

ah. but an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

"Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed"--Genesis 9:6

besides. taking the bible through a literal translation doesn't work anyways. the bible is more like aesops fables. its a collection of stories designed to give you moral guidance. the ten commandments are basically common sense things, i think. but there are too many 'what if' scenario's to try to directly interpret the bible as some sort of law.

Oh so true - the Bible is pathetic. And so is anyone believing in the fairytales.

agreed.

I don't believe that crap either. Just saying as far as I can tell the bible is cool with capital punishment.

nothing like some good old fashioned 'smiting'

It is cool with capital punishment????

So thou shalt not kill is just a filler 'rule'?

9 out of 10 is good enough?
Good thing "world is flat" was not number 11 eh?

As if the catholic church or big religious institutions have ever been the bastion of defense of the common man. Ha.

you will suck my dick, si?

btw, first post, so all of you go fuck yourself

Point being that ANYONE claiming religious guardianship is full of shit because religion is shit.

I don't have to tell pornographers that.
Any Christian pornographer (huh?) believing in heaven/hell is, again, full of shit.
How can you possibly commit sin and still believe in a 'heaven' ?

There's no way you are going to heaven if you peddle smut :)

i don't believe neccisarily that religion is shit. organized religion has been perverted by decietful human minds to allow for power over people. but there's alot to be said for having a sense of spirituality i think. and trying to understand that there are bigger things out there than just this tiny rock we live on.

Again, you're buying into the church version of things. I think christianity and pornography have no conflict at all. I refer not to the Vatican version but just basic christian values, be a good person, etc. has nothing to do with pornography in my view.

If you are well-educated you shouldn't believe in religion.

Religion is reality escape.

but are you truly ignorant enough to believe that your consciousness was created solely as a chance reaction between hydrogen and methane?

You have to admit that there is a good chance of that happening, even with our limited knowledge of things.

Was it the 4th or 5th day God created that?



No 7 days can make me believe that religion is nothing but the greatest pr stunt in history and anyone basing their way of life on religion is pathetic.

i suppose anything is possible, but it just seems to me that we're all a part of soemthing bigger.

of course....the flipside of that:

am i so ignorant as to believe that i have a higher purpose?

ferget about christianity. there are things that go far deeper and with far less bullshit. like i said the entirety of most modern religion is polluted by the minds of men. greedy, evil, ignorant men. many people percieve this as being the fault of the religion, but it is not. all religions basically have the same ideals when you boil it down, they just have different ways of relating it for different cultures. taking stories from the bible at face value doesn't make sense i agree. but look for the symbolism in the stories.

More likely than anything is we are self replicating robots programmed to never find the answer *shrugs*

Bla bla bla - symbolism and ignorance boils down to religion.
Uneducated people are religious.

Religion, like God, died a long time ago.

Not every US state has capital punishment, so the thread the title of "USA Leadership" isn't accurate.

Actually, it really is not pathetic. It's a very good guide, for pre-technological cultures, as to what is and is not a good idea - mostly healthwise. Look at a lot of the "laws" in the bible and you'll find some damned good advice, if you're addressing a culture that has little or no scientific knowledge. And a lot of stuff we now consider either common sense or simple morality.

So think of it this way. You have a small faction of learned and otherwise intellegent people who understand that certain animals are not a good idea for the dinner table; who understand that certain bodily fluids are hotbeds for disease, etc... And you have a huge, uneducated, and relatively primative populace. You don't just tell them, "Read this book, you need to know this stuff if our species is going to survive." You tell them, "Read this book, and do what it says, because if you don't, God will strike us all down, take your first-born, and give your cattle herpes."

In some ways, the primitive Bible was the Internet of its time...

Who's the leader of USA and what are his beliefs on capital punishment?

Hence USA Leadership....

Yes, retards and uneducated people might find religion useful.

Except ofcourse "law" number 5 - thou shalt not kill - I think US leadership missed than one in bible class.

God is dead.
Here is his last message for mankind:

As I understand it - and gawd knows I'm no Bible scholar (but my Dad is one, as were many of the people at my Church Camp, lol) the best literal translation of this commandment is "Thou shall not MURDER", which most court systems agree is a very different thing.

I'm just sayin'.

The Bible encourages capital punishment. Check out Leviticus. There are many statements in which someone should be stoned to death for their crimes.

Very true. The commandment was not applied to war for example, which the ancient Israelites seemed decent enough at (in a very limited region) - at least according to the Biblical telling.

The bible also says to obey the law of the land. It also says render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars.

As for the President...does anyone have a quote of the President stating that he personally believes in capital punishment...maybe he does...or maybe he, as Governor, was simply carrying out Texas law.

god is only dead for you if you believe it to be. just because you choose not to actualize the spirit world doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. it just means that they do not speak to you.
