[QUOTE="TheReasoner, post: 65676113, member: 104245"] Ah yes, "Jesus thought as [I]I[/I] do!" a common argument from supporters or opposers of anything from slavery, via taxation to death penalty, war, economic policy or racial questions.YOU read your bible that way. This does not mean you are right in your interpretation (After all many people understand it completely differently). And even if you are right this does not mean you are right in your opinion as it rests on the authority and veracity of the bible. And frankly, I think there is no real reason to think the bible is a good source of morality, facts, ethics or anything else, apart from a few good stories. Bloody, violent, horrible stories. Such as genocides, horrible rape stories and the like. God apparently killed everything that moved on this earth in the flood. He told the Israelites to slaughter everyone in the nations they conquered as another example. This is the stuff of Hollywood, war novels or post apocalyptic ones. It SHOULD be the stuff of the ancient past. Yet for some reason some people cling to these horrible stories as templates for their lives. Or they say thay do, but fail to read the book they profess to follow. Thankfully. [/QUOTE]
