[Greatest I am]

Religionist, by their very existence, go against the will of God.

We are told, in Genesis that man is to have dominion over the earth. We were given knowledge of good and evil to help us along that road.
It is God’s will then, that man, not God should reign. Reign over all of nature which includes man himself as part of nature.
To promote the idea of following a God then, other than a man God, goes against what God wants.
I think it logical then that if God wanted dominion he would be here among us helping or guiding the various decisions that man makes in terms of law. He is not.
A leader or king or God cannot claim anything if not able to make his voice heard. An absentee landlord cannot collect rent if he is not there to do so.
It is also impossible to have a diverse population follow laws when there is no one there to enforce them.
Law, without the power to enforce is just words to be ignored by those who do not agree with it.

Most western religions have Genesis as part of their belief system.

Why then do you ignore this God given directive and cling to one that has told you to go and do as told?

Why do you disobey God?

That's why we have direct deposit.

Why do you disobey God?

Because I'm a rebel who lives by his own rules, and doesn't follow anyone else's rules except for my own.

Right. But where does the money wind up?

That's the beauty of it: it doesn't have to go anywhere to be deposited.

Paying taxes happens to be my own rule that just so happens to coincide with the government's rules. Lucky for them.

An absentee landlord can't collect rent?.....Sure he can, he simply gets someone to do his will for him......
How to follow laws with no one here to enforce them.....We have the authority and the power in the name of Jesus, we know the rules and laws and we are bound by the honor system to enforce them....
When driving you may not see the police around, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.....break the law, full speed ahead ignore those words that tell you how fast to go....sooner or later you will be busted.....God has radar too!....

Jesus?

Is this the same Jesus/God of Noah's genocidal flood? The traitor to humanity?

He can take his laws and shove it.

Jews do not follow Hitler.
None should follow a genocidal God.
If you do, keep a bucket handy. He may use you to drown babies.

We were given knowledge of good and evil to help us along that road.

Gen 2:16-17
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, `Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it--dying thou dost die.'

Seems you are a bit mistaken.

:biglaugh:."Is this the same Jesus/God of Noah's genocidal flood?"
If your going to have a good debate be able to separate the OT and NT
I believe I see another error pointed out by Mestemia......

What's BS? I pay my taxes - and that's no BS. Like I tell the kids - 'be cool, pay your taxes' and 'just say 'no' to tax evasion'.

 

[PureX]

I think you misunderstood the story of the Garden in Genesis. God forbid mankind from eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, but the snake told us that God did this because if we ate of that fruit, we would live forever as gods, ourselves. But it was a lie.

When humans ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they did not become God's equals, as they thought, and come to know good from evil. Instead, they were doomed by their own selfish presumptions to toil and labor their lives away trying to "correct" the world they lived in according to their own selfish idea of what's "good and evil". To we humans, what's "good" is what's good for us. And what's "evil" is whatever is not good for us. So as we looked at the world in which we lived, and we began to pass judgment on all we see, according to our own selfish idea of what's good for us and what isn't. And then we toil and labor our lives away trying to make the world and the other people in it obey our desires. This is the lesson taught in the story of Eden. We still live in the 'Garden of Eden', but we can no longer see that this is so, because we 'ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil', and so now we presume to know what these are, when in truth we do not.

I wish I knew what the :fork: you're talking about. It might actually make for a good debate.

I would rather live for one day and die a wise man than live as an eternal fool...

Do you know of any biological units that do not die?
