Of course, the children who were martyr'd at Waco didn't know what the consequences were of worshiping Jesus.
Correction, they didn't understand the consequences of worshiping David Koresh.

All the time.
Is leading somehow to Daniel Boorstein's quote: "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge"?
Fixed that for youI always liked this quote. (AndBoorsteinBoorstin's book The Discoverers.) I always thought it wasBoorsteinBoorstin too, but when I looked it up many are giving credit toHawkinsHawking now...
If they were Bible-believing Christians, they should have known that Vernon Howell was a false prophet.They were bible believing Christians. David was a prophet, not a god.
Yup.A false prophet can easily distort scripture.
That's not an option.Maybe he wasn't.
Groovy.Harold Camping studied the Bible and knew it better than you.
Did you know that people get hurt, maimed, and killed by what they don't know?
You shouldn't constrain yourself to such a myopic view. It's simple really, Koresh predicted a fiery death, and it came to pass. Prophetic, pure and simple.That's not an option.
Vernon Howell was a false prophet.
Are you noticing in this thread, which starts out IN SCIENCE, it's almost impossible to separate it from religion?Of course. Which is why it's prudent to study and learn as much you can. And also--as much as possible--not just believe something because someone says you should. Which applies to matters of both science and religion.
No, I get the impression you resent reality because it conflicts with your interpretation of the bible.Are you noticing in this thread, which starts out IN SCIENCE, it's almost impossible to separate it from religion?
Do you get the impression that science is both [a subconscious] religion, and myopic?
I'll take that under consideration.You shouldn't constrain yourself to such a myopic view.
Whatever floats your boat.I'll take that under consideration.
But if the time ever comes ... and I have to ... I pray I'll have the guts to lay down with my fellow martyred brothers and sisters in Christ who refused the likes of Mohammad, Howell, Jim Jones, Ellen G. White, et alii.
