THE VISION OF CHRIST that thou dost see
Is my vision’s greatest enemy.
Thine has a great hook nose like thine;
Mine has a snub nose like to mine.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind;
Mine speaks in parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates;
Thy heaven doors are my hell gates.
Socrates taught what Meletus
Loath’d as a nation’s bitterest curse,
And Caiaphas was in his own mind
A benefactor to mankind.
Both read the Bible day and night,
But thou read’st black where I read white.

2 Peter 1:19-So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

Actually, you are wrong; God killed Job's family, because he was testing Job's loyalty....He could have just as well resurrected his family that he allowed Satan to kill to 'tempt' Job...Yet, he didn't....
But while you want to pull up little factoids: How about when God told the Israelites that they could rape and pillage(steal) from the villages they conquered? What about taking daughters for themselves? What about him condoning slavery? You don't have anything to say about those little inconvenient facts, do you?edit on 21-1-2013 by VeritasAequitas because: (no reason given)
After the fall of Sargon's empire, war erupted between the Sumerians and Gutians, and the Sumerians exterminated or evicted the Gutians. Sumerian civilization revived, including rule in the city of Ur by a king called Ur-Nammu, who, around the year 2050, created the first known code of laws.
