Holy Books

Ever wonder how an all powerful god did such shoddy work on his holy books? If you were god wouldn't you make a book that stands out?

Bible Slavery:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

@tomtomttom Isn't it ironic that a very high percentage of black Americans praise the very book that justified their enslavement? That's what you call not investigating. That's what you call true ignorance.

@2eelShmeal Agreed. As a former Christian and a black American, I'm glad I did some basic investigating into this matter and know that both Christianity and islam practiced slavery and those who were generally taken in as slaves were black people. Neither of those religions said slavery was evil and wrong. Instead today you see people of those faiths making excuses for slavery. The worst argument I heard was, that was history, but we can still have it in our religious book. WHAT?????

@tomtomttom Hahahaha... Good one. lol ;) Thanks 4 the post. Good point on Islam as well. That shit's been going on for what? 2,000 yrs or something?.... But I also find it funny that no one really looks at the Spanish or Portuguese as racist when they were some of the top exporters in the slave trade.....Back to your point: Yeah, you would think they'd edit out the whole slavery thing in the modern versions and keep copies of the old shit in a museum....

Did I hear you say, "if I were God...?" That is why you are not. His ways are not our ways... If you snap out of your wishful thinking you might learn something from the good Book. If I were.. is the anthem of wishful thinkers who get nothing done.

OK... But seriously...... think about it.....be objective for a moment. Are we to believe that the same Being who created dna, universes, galaxies, nuclear fusion and consciousness itself cannot make His own holy book? Why rely on the fallibility of humans to write such an important document? Being that God never shows Himself, nothing could be more important to people's faith than the only "proof" of God's existence, the bible. So why? Man created God. Man must also write His book.

[2eelShmeal]

Why, why, why do you pose the question with a WHO attached? What makes you think it was a WHO? What makes you think it was created at all? Even your God requires no beginning right? Maybe the universe is eternal.

By posing the question with a who, you have already influenced the answer. You see, you think you're slick and you have it all figured out. Well guess what? You don't know shit. Anyone can ask a completely baseless question like a parrot.

I know all about that! Now ask Who made these rules and processes that science holds so dear.

in a nutshell....Yes!
