Super Universe
Defender of God
The temple is a place for priests to glorify themselves. They wrote the Torah to give themselves power over the unknown things that ancient peoples were afraid of.
Why do you think ancient priests fought against science and learning about the human body? Because the more men learned about the universe the less they needed the priests.
Still today religion fights science, they fight against the theory of evolution because it robs them of the power over the people but people are no longer afraid. We can make up our own minds and we know right from wrong better than the priests do.
Is the gold meant for God? I suppose it is but can you tell me exactly how the priest packages and ships it off to the Creator?
Does sacrifice provide a deeper meaning for us? Do you still stone adulterers in the streets? Do you still sacrifice animals to God?
Why don't you? Isn't it because this is 2006 and you have grown up and matured into a being that knows right from wrong without having to look at the ten commandments?
Isn't it because you trust yourself, your own judgement, more than you trust these old priests who wrote a book?
Perhaps you do think the Torah is entirely divine, that is your choice. But what is your real motivation for believing that God chooses one group of humans over another?
Can God ever give up on others? Is it because they are truly evil without hope for salvation? Or is it because it makes you feel better about yourself?
