I wonder if I could share my view on how representative democracy could be modified to resemble more to pure democracy.
Idea is to use modern communication technologies to allow people to have direct vote on political issues.
I call this system hybrid democracy.
Depending on how active people...
I don't beleive in free will.
I know that people who beleive in God think that free will was given by God.
But I am not aware of any explantion of free will by those who don't beleive in God and I know there are many such people.
So I was wondering how they try to handle it.
As i understand those that beleive in free will the point is that you can choose to do right or wrong. Free will allows you not to follow 10 commandmends and go to hell. Our whole justice system is based on this presumptions. People are being sent to jail with the explanation that they could...
I read that "Each of the 613 mitzvot can be subsumed under one of these ten categories". So I presume that these are just clarifications of more general 10 commandmeds. You say they are both equaly important. I'll try to read more about them
I would just like to ask those who beleive in free will but do not beleive in God to tell how do they think that free will got into us, was created, who has free will (people, animals, plants, atoms).
Thanks
What other 613 laws?
I thought everybody considers them superiror laws since they were given by the god itself for us to obey them.
Is there some extended version of the laws?
Are those 613 laws spread around the bible or is there some place where they are listed?
Are those other laws also...
Well even if the original word was murder and not kill many christians are raiesed based on the wrong translation "do not kill" but still go around killimg making different excuses based on different accounts in the the bible. I mean if we start using bible as reference then anything goes. This...
Chill guys.
There is no angry child stomping away?
This might come as surprise to you but I don't initiate debates to prove that I am correct or to prove that someone else is wrong.
I do it to find the truth.
Which should, as I understood it, be the goal of the debate.
I have learned...
This is the whole point of this thread.
Everybody has their own favorite intepretation of this law.
And the law itself can't be more simple.
Imagine what would happen if Christians would be given the same freedom of interpreting gouverment laws as they to interpreting God rules.
Yes it does in a rule I have qouted which comes from 10 commandmends.
It says you should not kill.
It doesn't say you should not kill unless:
Yo are being attacked
It is full moon.
Your annual salary is less then 100000 dollars
Yes it is common sense to defend yourself.
Yes it is law...
One of the chirstan laws simple say:
One shell not kill (or something like that)
It doesn't say kill if some one tries to kill you, or if someone tries to kill someone you like, it simply says do not kill meaning ever and under any circumstance.
And if this isn't plain enough then Jesus...
Again I don't understand who do you think butchered what?
You mean while NT and Jewish War were translated perhaps?
NT was written after Jewis war which is why Jesus was able to predict stuff like Jerusalem being destroyed and this is why it was possible to model life of Jesus to that of...
Editor of what passages did what on purpose?
That wasn't butchering but just breakdown of both stories.
NT*Mark 5:1-20
1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the*Gadarenes.[a] 2And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a...

DESCEND
Once upon a time an alien race of winged, humanoid, lizard like creatures, called Annunaki, descended upon the Earth in their fire chariots.*
They came from Nibiru, 10th planet of our solar system, which circles around the sun in opposite direction of...
When I first read this I was blown away.
So I wonder how many people are aware of this and what possible other explanation can be given.
I am talking about how Jesus expeling demons from the man at the city of Gadara can be interpreted as alegory of roman emperor Titus attacking the same...
I have covered the possabilty if they both ate in which case it was additional genetic enginiring on both of them :)
Can you tell me then where did apple come from or did I just imagined it?
Apple tree represents Evolutionary Tree of life, tree that represents how spices evolved from each other. Tree of life starts vertically at the point where living form, cell, was created. As we go upward we go forward in time. After the first cells were created for a long time there was no...
Quotes are given at the beginining of the second page of this thread.
And you are correct, if this was written by one outor, moses being dictated by god as was the official church explanation, then this wouldn't make much sence. So people started doubting this explanation and eventually found...
Are you saying that there was a pope in Rome before NT was created?
Sources?
Or by Church you ment something else?
Why did you slap your fase at Piso theory :) ?
