The thing that gets me is how story after story in the bible is about God killing, or people killing/prepared to kill in the name of God. Yet we are constantly told that God is a merciful God.
It just really doesn't add up, IMO.

so thou shall not murder is the correct term. This means thou can kill if have to or confronted with no other options when defending oneself. Is this correct?

Convenient way to explain the atrocities. Convenient also if we are to accept his own commands to kill as an act we wouldn't understand. Seems to me I 'can' understand that asking someone to kill their son is bizarre and kinda sick to ask of someone that would have done it by blind faith alone. I would dislike this god, as well as have little respect for a guy that would kill his son for his god...

Can you imagine someone telling a judge he killed his son because his god asked him to. The guy would be in prison or in a straight jacket.

a human is only in "peril" of becoming disillusioned, when it ALLOW SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF ITSELF TO TELL IT "HOW TO FEEL"???

this SETS THE MIND OF SELF AGAINST SELF, SO THEN SELF WILL LEARN BY FIRST BEING TAUGHT THIS, TO TAKE THIS APPROCH WITH ALL IT MEETS???

soon it deny and believe not itself, as it first DENIED it's own feelings as accurate, so then DEEM OTHER'S FEELINGS AS NOT HAVING MEANING, so then is now created into one deeming others as less, so then free to become many things of demise to other's???

what did anything that REEKDED MUCH EVIL ON ANOTHER "FIRST HAVE TO DO"???

first BE CONVINCED BY SOME OUTSIDE SOURCE, BEING PARENTS OR GAURDIAN OR ROLE MODEL OR TEACHER, THAT ITSELF WAS NOT "RIGHT", THEN IT CAN COME TO BE BELIEVED, THAT "OTHER'S ARE "NOT RIGHT", so them there is UNBALANCE "FIRST" IN SELF BELIEVE, TO CREATE UNBALANCE OUTSIDE OF SELF???

religions "said to be of peace", only try to tell other's how to be as GOOD AS SELF, OR AS GOOD AS THE ONE THAT FIRST MADE THE BELIEF INTO A RELIGION???

the HUMNA EMTOIONS ARE NOT CONTROLLED BY FOCUSING "IN FRONT OF THEM", AS TRYING TO "CHANGE" THEM FOCUS!!!

AND "WHY" DOES ONE WANT TO CHANGE THEM IN ANOTHER???

FOR PROTECTION OF SELF, SO THIS "FIRST MOTIVE" IS WHAT MOST DESTROY UNITY AND PEACE???

THIS IN ITSELF IS THE INSIDEOUS DISASTOR THAT "APPEAR" TO BE OF PEACE, BUT INDEED IS WHAT MAKE WAR LATER, AND THEN THIS SAME ONE BLAME IT ON OTHERS, saying they were "defective people, so made war with what self said???


please......

EACH WORD THAT COME OUT OF THE MOUTH, CREATE SOMETHING, AND WHAT IT CREATE MUST BE THE "TOTAL" REPSONSIBILITY OF THE SPEAKER, OR "WHERE" DOES THE BUCK STOP???

if any religion thus far HAD THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE PEACE, THEN IT WOULD HAVE!!!

telling and instructing another HOW IT SHOULD THINK, OR WHAT IT SHOULD DO, OR HOW IT SHOULD FEEL, IS THE VERY FIRST SUBVERTING OF ANY PEACE, BECAUSE IT FIRST CONVINCE "SELF IS DEFECTIVE"!!!

SO THEN SELF DEEM MANY, MANY, MANY, SO ALMOST ALL, AS DEFECTIVE???

the same as, IF ONE WISH TO COMMIT MURDER, NO PROBLEM, WHY DO I NEED TO TELL ANOTHER HOW THIS IS WRONG???

to only tell one the potential of what the current reality called environment, could make to HAPPEN FOR THIS MURDEREROUS ONE, is seeing the "potential murderer as equal", even though self has maybe never contemplated murder itself???

this is NOT TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO AT ALL!!!

tell other things what to do, THEN IN MANY YEARS, WHO IS "LEADING SELF WITH SELF WISDOM"???

TO TELL ANOTHER WHAT TO DO, IS TO LATER CREATE A TOTAL SOCIETY OF "FOLLOWERS", OR JUST CHILDREN THAT "CANNOT ACCESS WITH LOGICAL DEDUCTION WHAT IS MOST GOOD FOR SELF"???

the same as, telling one HOW TO DRIVE, is sheer self thinking itself is better, but simply asking a question, CAN OR COULD THIS HAPPEN, ENVOKES THE THOUGHT IN ANOTHER, THAT CREATE THEN LEARNED WISDOM???

LEARNED WISDOM IS NEVER FORGOTTEN???

THIS THEN ALLOW TRUE WISDOM WITHIN ALL THINGS TO COME FORTH EQUALLY???

the very first BIAS THAT DEEM ANOTHER AS NOT AS CAPABLE AS SELF, MAKE FOR RELIGIONS AND WARS AND VIOLENCE AND NO PEACE AND CHAOS???

if a man think it might wish to murder, and it cannot call the police department first, to find out FOR ITSELF WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT'S OWN ACTIONS MAY BE, without some retalliation as a less and crimminal, THEN THIS IS WHAT FIRST MAKE FOR A "FEARFUL SOCIETY", THAT TRY TO CONTROL WITH FORCE TO MAKE PEACE???

in other words, YOU ARE FREE TO MURDER, do as you wish, BUT THESE ARE THE GUIDLINES OF THE MAJORITY THAT WILL ALSO BE ENVOKED???

AND THIS IS ONLY DONE AS FOR THE "EQUAL" TREATMENT OF ALL"???

to create a MORAL CODE OF GOOD BEHAVIOUR, AND PREACH IT THRU EVERY MEDIUM, THAT ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT MEET IT IS "EVIL", IS TO MAKE AND PERPETUATE THE VERY BEGINNNING OF "ALL EVIL"!!!

to ask one that think self wish to murder, does ITSELF WANT TO BE MURDERED, IS ALL THAT IT TAKES???

THEN IF SELF DOES NOT WISH TO BE MURDERED, THEN THIS IS THE "ONLY REASON ONE THAT MURDERS WILL HAVE TO FACE IT'S PEERS"???

it is ****ing BIAS MOST OF "ONE'S THINKING THEY ARE OF HIGHER MORAL FIBER", SO BETTER, THAT FIRST CREATE ILLUSIONS SPOKEN THAT LATER BECOME AS EVIL MANIFESTED???

ALL ARE EQUAL, AND LAWS ARE THERE TO KEEP EQUALITY, NOT TO PROTECT GOOD PEOPLE!!!

NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE MIND NATURALLY WILL WISH "DEFENSIVE FEAR TO PROTECT SELF", these such wishes followed, and not ALL AS EQUAL NO MATTER THE ACTIONS, WILL ALWAYS CREATE MORE EVIL LATER???
