Conservapedia: Re-Writing the Bible for the Rich

[Zilong]

Could that change be in the...writers perhaps?

I'm not talking about the Bible silly...I'm taking about current events.

I find it hard to believe that an omnipotent, eternally-existing god would just throw in the towel and take the backseat approach after only few thousand years of his creation not doing what he wanted them to do, especially if he loves human half as much as the new testament supposedly described.

On the other hand, the old testament god is just a flat out asshole, and I pity anyone who are actually subservient to him (loljew)

There's an interesting analogy I heard about this. It's pretty long, but I was able to conceive it into a contemporary meaning.

As a child, if you do something wrong (especially if it is potentially harmful), your parent(s) will punish you for it. As a child, you may consider this hate, but in the parent's perspective, it's love. If you love someone, you will protect them from what causes harm. Sometimes the only way to keep your loved ones from repeating mistakes is to punish them.

Also, the Old Testament isn't all about wrath.

Sometimes the only way to keep your loved ones from repeating mistakes is to kill all but 2 of every kind of them as punishment for mistakes you made when you designed them

right, it's also about genocide, infanticide, slavery, incest, manipulation and drunken incest, torture, rape is ok as long as you buy the victim for 50 shekels, homophobia, talking snakes and giants who live for 900 years.

You didn't really fix anything from my quote. You just added exactly what I said and elaborated.

I'm tempted to bite on the last bit, but you clearly aren't going to listen to anything anyway.

I love this kinda logic which isn't uncommon.

So if you don't like the way a God run things you think it's ok to just not believe in him and not follow him and he'll be what? "oh ok then you go do your thing and I'll just leave you alone"

It's like a baby thinking if they can't see daddy, daddy can't see him.

in other words, if you believe God exists and that he can have an angry temper, then yes even if you don't like the way he does certain things you're going to still follow him so you don't get punished.

I worded myself poorly. I'm not denying the existance and pretending I can't be touched if I don't 'believe'. But for the sake of the point, say it is true that god is a sadistic prick who is merely toying with all of us, and if we don't follow his bizarre rules, we all end up in hell. That is still not enough to make me play along, if you see my point. If that means I'll roast on a spit for eternity when the time comes; sucks to be me.

Edit: I don't see how god can be called be omnipotent if he's having temper problems. That's a pretty big flaw from what I can see. Or, if he truly is good willed; another flaw would be that he didn't forsee all the suffering that would come to pass. Why did he let it all happen? If you submit to such an entity, you're basically worshipping a flawed god. Also, if he has one obvious flaw, then it is likely that there are more.

More reasons to why I wouldn't blindly worship a god that can't prove itself.

Nihilism will save you a lot of trouble. Try it sometime.

I'd give it a try, but what's the point?

[wipers]

You won't worry about anything anymore if you are nihilistic. Since existence is pointless you can just live your life.

Missed the joke bro.

The "Openmindedness" quotation was ironically eye-opening. Holy shit these people are full of it.

That child born into AIDS is more important then not being born at all! He could be the next Einstein, y'know!
