According to Jewish practice they slaughtered and BBQ'd goats and chickens,etc.,because the scent was believed to be pleasing to their god.

What happened? Why don't jews still slaughter animals at the alter?
Did yahwah go off the Atkins diet?

The idea that a "loving" God would say to Job "I'm gonna inflict you with horrible disease and kill your children and make your life horrible and if you don't love me afterward you will spend eternity in even worse suffering" seems like cruel tyranny to me. What makes it justifiable?

I'll start a race event and the winner gets 1000$, they gotta run 2 miles though, and only fat people are allowed to enter. Then we sit back and watch them huff and puff for our amusment, and no one gets paid because they all have heart attacks for being fat and can't run 2 miles. Good Idea?

Is there a way to develop a STANK in a fridg that will never go away...and I mean NEVER.?

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW...I was fed the following story by the MIL:

It began as "Your Uncle "Ralph" would like to give you the fridge he got in the divorce." Nice refridgerator, very generous of him - never agreed to accept - just talked about it.

Two weeks later we get a contact info request for Uncle R...along with what we assumed to be the REST OF THE STORY- Uncle R needs to get it out of storage and store it in your garage until he needs it again...we decide that uncle R can store it himself. We have new house, full gar. Wife informs MIL.

Today I get an email from MIL --> "I figured I would let you handle this. Sorry. MIL" An attached email from Uncle R asking for contact info, again. I call Uncle R to explain that we cannot store his fridg...then I find out the fridge's final home >>> MIL's HOUSE!!!

MIL will soon ask us to take fridg 5hrs to her home.

MANIPULATIVE MIL!!!

In 1654, Archbishop James Ussher of Armagh, Ireland, calculated from the Bible (augmented by some astronomy and numerology) that Creation began on October 23, 4004 BC.

Why don't you get that day off from work?

Joseph Smith claimed to be a "prophet." He frequently prophesied future events "by the power of God." Many of these prophecies are recorded in the LDS scripture Doctrine and Covenants. Almost none have been fulfilled, and many cannot now be fulfilled because the deeds to be done by the persons named were never done and those persons are now dead. Many prophecies included dates for their fulfillment, and those dates are now long past, the events never having occurred.

Since bible is word of GOD and can't be cchanged how come """"Thou shalt not bear false witness"""""" was removed during translation from Modern Bibles?

Romans 13:9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, """"""Thou shalt not bear false witness"""""", Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Many of the basic historical notions found in the Book of Mormon had appeared in print already in 1825, just two years before Smith began producing the Book of Mormon, in a book called View of the Hebrews, by Ethan Smith (no relation) and published just a few miles from where Joseph Smith lived. A careful study of this obscure book led one LDS church official (the historian B. H. Roberts, 1857-1933) to confess that the evidence tended to show that the Book of Mormon was not an ancient record, but concocted by Joseph Smith himself, based on ideas he had read in the earlier book.

A great quote I picked up from somewhere. Basically, the limit of our scientific theory stops at the big bang; the theory goes that the big bang started with a particle exploding that was infinitely light and infinitely small, and had spin. That's as far back as science can go, but what it can't even attempt to explain is how that particle got there in the first place. That's where philosphy and religion start, but PLEASE, if you're religious, DON'T pretend to KNOW or STATE AS FACT that '"God put it there" or "God created it", or "it was created by a 'higher power'". I think alot of conflict arises from beliefs or 'faiths' being stated AS FACT. It gets peoples' backs up, and rightly so - it's called making out you know something that you don't.

I think if religious people were just more careful with their use of language, alot less conflict would arise. Maybe it's the cause of wars!

The people of the Book of Mormon were supposedly devout Jews observing the Law of Moses, but in the Book of Mormon there is almost no trace of their observance of Mosaic law or even an accurate knowledge of it.
