Bible Morals: Unchanged or Not? (Reply to RabidApe)

Video reply as requested by Rabidape.

For the first time ever, I've used another person's video clip, since, hours before making this, Rabidape made it known that his material is under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license. Cool.

So do you consider gay marriages a sin then? Is that a moral rule? How do you decide what is a moral rule? Does it not apply anymore because Jesus died on the cross for us?

[5thWatcher]

@domarama That's part of the whole deal.

So God thought stonning was okay and then changed his mind, cool. But wouldn't that mean his is not all knowing?

"And God realized that too"?

God goes around REALIZING things?

I've not ever heard anyone use such a phrase before; EVER. Isn't God supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient, and perfect?

Never mind the rest of your video, or this discussion. I see a whole train-wreck of contradiction, contained within that single phrase.

@psychoholicmike

I felt the same way when i herd him say that. "God realized" But God knows everything. I thought about it for 2 seconds. And I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't actually mean that. What he meant was God realized it was time to change things and send out his son's soul.

Interesting commentary.

Keep it up, interested Atheist,

I wan't more commentary on bigger targets.

Dawkins and Dennett perhaps . .

Questions pertaining to the nature of God are unrelated to the question of whether or not God exists.

One may disagree with a purported action of God's, or believe that said action is ridiculous, but these sentiments have nothing to do with the possibility of a being that exists in 4+n spatiotemporal dimensions, and therefore has by definition supernatural abilities.

Some people mistakenly believe that a thing must not exist if it can't be observed. Can you send me a picture of gravity?

@jol223334 People do bad stuff on purpose, too, you know. Also, without vice there would be no virtue, and no need to strive for greater things, and nothing to learn with no mistakes to learn from.

[jol223334]

@5thWatcher My question to you is why would God have carried out a plan that would allow us to screw up? I mean being all knowing and powerful God it would make sense to create beings that would not screw up. This would then would eliminate the need for punishment, but your God seems to like punishing people considering that he knew people would screw up, yet he punished them anyway. Your God sounds pretty sadistic.

[Harbinger631]

I don't think this necessarily relates to the video, but I've always been curious. Why would God, who supposedly loves all people, only select a certain group of people to be His people in the beginning? Such selectivity contradicts what happened in the NT, and I don't see how God can contradict himself if he's the same at all times.

[Harbinger631]

So wait, your argument is that humanity developed more to be able to choose good over evil because evil was wrong, and not choose good over evil because you would be killed by doing evil, so God changed the rules?

What's your basis for believing that there was such a change in humanity? Doesn't it make more sense that Jewish leaders invented these crazy punishments to control the people, and that God had nothing to do with it?

"you should sell your daughter into slavery if she is disobediant" "it is ok to beat your wife just don't mark her face" "attack the city and slaughter all but the hot young virgins (moses quote)" "stone a woman to death on her wedding night if shes not a virgin" Don't try and dress up the sick twisted stuff in the bible and make it sound reasonable, I don't care if you think god changed his mind on morals or just puinishment. If I thought god was real I'd be terrafied! He sounds fucking EVIL!
