Without actually being told what and how I believe...
Insult my Religious beliefs...If you're like me *a person of Faith*
isn't that just as ignorant to do as you claim those who believe are being?

You gave a general invitation to have YOUR religious beliefs insulted, yet when I came and posted a response lacking insult, you respond as if mildly offended. Lol!

I think the point is that if an omnipotent God wanted someone dead, He could do it Himself. And if people actually believed in an omnipotent God they'd know that God could do it Himself and He wouldn't need people to do His dirty work for Him. So those who go around killing in God's name, really don't believe in that God like they claim to. At least, that's what I got from the post.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
Throughout human history unimaginably evil atrocities, oppression, wars and conflicts have been done in the name of a god, or have been justified, ordained by religions/faiths or some form of devout worship.
God created mankind, gave them a world in which they can thrive. Mankind created religions, faiths beliefs and worship.
There is no part of our creator that is evil. None, where evil prevails there is NO God.
God gave us his own son, and he was ultimately brutally beaten, tortured and killed because he insulted, offended a manmade religious theocracy...
We have come so far, and yet gone nowhere.

In reality Jesus challenged those He called "satans seed" that had taken over "Moses seat". Christ never challenged the position as man made. And yea God did give instructions for proper worship ect. Man didn't invent that.

"In the beginning was Adam(u) and Lilith, created from the same dirt...."
So "equal".... And then Adamu tells Lilith to do the dishes and iron His shirt. Lilith balks and runs off with Sama-el...
"In the beginning was Adam and Eve.. Eve was created from Adam's rib..."
This makes the Female subservient to the Male..
Which is "true"?
Some claim that they respect the culture of life in this country. They cry out for indignity of children that are slaughtered before they are born. But God has not penetrated their souls, for they have no empathy. Nothing in their cold hearts for the hundreds of thousands of lives we have taken in our wars overseas, for that which they call “collateral damage,” which are the burnt and damaged children of the world. They have no prayers for them. Only snide commentary on the internet and laughter in their hearts. And yet you claim to be one with God?
