Slightly unrelated, but as a person who believes in God, why is he not allowed to do anything other than forgive? I get that I probably don’t understand, but even if I was the most forgiving person in the world, I’d still have a problem with the people who killed my son. As you said, far out of human comprehension.technically, nobody knows what god "does" or "want" and nobody ever will because just his true nature is too far out human comprehension and as the bible says, only he can judge (obviously, keep it under context)
Try to see it in a different way, the bible isn't aimed to be an history book, it treats the subject of spirituality and human nature, meaning how to be a better person than what you currently are. What the facts are doesn't really matter, as long as you "evolve" into someone better.Slightly unrelated, but as a person who believes in God, why is he not allowed to do anything other than forgive?

i found that argument funny cuz that LITERALY makes god not exist if the HUMANS are the ones to write about the supposed god and how when i need proof of gods existence it suddenly out of humans comprehension?technically, nobody knows what god "does" or "want" and nobody ever will because just his true nature is too far out human comprehension and as the bible says, only he can judge (obviously, keep it under context)
Let me ask you, if we were ants or lived in the deep seas, would it make the universe we live in non-existent because we can't prove it's existence?i found that argument funny cuz that LITERALY makes god not exist if the HUMANS are the ones to write about the supposed god and how when i need proof of gods existence it suddenly out of humans comprehension?
No. Your claim is blasphemous to their religion because the bible or Abrahamic faith books (e.g. Quran) ARE directly derived from historical texts excavated from archaeological sites e.g. the Dead Sea Scrolls. They are also verified by historians and archaeologists, which strengthens their historical roots. “Is Christ/Muhammad real” is not only a theological but historical point of contention.Try to see it in a different way, the bible isn't aimed to be an history book, it treats the subject of spirituality and human nature, meaning how to be a better person than what you currently are.

Now if we are going to talk about God's nature, he doesn't rely on electrical activity or chemistry to think and act like livings do, it is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. The way we percieve, comprehend and think doesn't apply to him
I have to say you are mixing a lot of different things.No. Your claim is blasphemous to their religion because the bible or Abrahamic faith books (e.g. Quran) ARE directly derived from historical texts excavated from archaeological sites e.g. the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The reason why these religions are hard to kill off is precisely because of said legitimacy.
And honestly given that historical and modern crusades exist, religious books ultimately fail as a moral compass because their history is full of genocide, and in modern context, unfriendly against “abnormal” LGBTQ people. They also tend to behave like the nun in this chapter who do not align with logic and a proper lawful approach to morality.
Personal stance nobody asked: ex-christian because it doesn’t take a genius to see the majority being holier-than-thou because they believe their legitimacy allows them carte blanche to treat everyone else as inferior. And that they vilify incest and LGBTQ despite pastors and their roman catholic counterparts preying on actual children it’s laughable.
you are the exception, not the norm and unfortunately if you told any close associates in church that you read yuri and whatnot on a regular basis I'm pretty CERTAIN they will spit on or outcast you. Based on personal experience I would not even treat you like a religious folk because you already don't behave like them.I have to say you are mixing a lot of different things.
(I'm also a christian who believe in God in case it wasn't obvious after that)
- First thing, don't use the bible to explain history or the reverse as both treat 2 very different subjects, one is immaterial (faith) while the other one is material.
- Religious books such as the bible are supposed to be re-interpreted with time and human evolution while keeping core principles (for the bible, it would be respect, love and altruism tought by jesus). The bible is a tool, if you are going to push the blame, put it on the user, not the tool, else you might as well ban everything that exist on earth, including a simple stick. Anything and everything can be used as a weapon.
- Using bad apples to push back the entire farm industry is the exact same thought process that leads the majority of people all around the world to be against the (silent) majority LGBT who only wants to live their life peacefully without having everyone questioning who they are. Don't be like them, be better.
