I'm sorry, I do sound like that don't I. All I'm saying is there are some things in the world we humans can't understand. There are something we can't justify. Who are we to say what's right and wrong? I won't say that lying isn't as bad murdering when God clearly says it is. And when He says it is I won't say 'but why, that doesn't make sense.' That's leaning on our own understanding.
Pro 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
That's what I will do. When God says something is just or something is evil, I won't try to make sense of it. I'll just accept it, because I don't have the infinite knowledge, I don't see all things.

Wow. How sad that you simply refuse to use the brain that you believe your god put in your head. I suppose if there was a passage in the bible that stated when you reach the age of 40, you were to climb to the top of a very high cliff and jump off, you would do it because God said it.
And because you can't question your own beliefs, that is why you fail. Hell, Jews have questioned their beliefs hundreds of times and have had to be consulted for the answers. There's a giant book (I forget the title) that has why this is that and why you should have your own interpretation.
You don't see all things... including your own God. All you have is a book and a few lunatics.
God created you, right? Including, say, your brain? That amazing thing inside your skull? I'm pretty sure that wasn't meant to be useless like the appendix.
"When a book says God says something is just or something is evil, I won't try to make sense of it. I'll just accept it, because I don't have the infinite knowledge, I don't see all things."
Fixed.

Yeah, the Bible is full of God saying stupid stuff.
That fine if you want to live with your head in the sand because you think your god wants you to .
Please... just go away. You can rejoin the human race when you're ready to act like an adult.
Oh, one more thing. You have a seriously warped sense of morality, which needs to be corrected, if you think lying is on par with murder.
@John_in_Oz
I never understand the Parable of the Talents. The two praised servants are the ones who broke the OT laws about usury and the one damned and cast out is condemned for not doing so.
I have a feeling it might be to do with it being OK to lend money at interest to Goyim but not to Jews, but I'm not sure about that.
Hmm. Being *very* generous, I suppose their point *might* be more about not trying to "read God's mind" (a la the asswipes that claim H Katrina = Gawd's loving Smitation on this eebil nashun!!) -- cite: because I don't have the infinite knowledge, I don't see all things . But... probably just another Eedyot 4 Jeezus.
@solomongrundy:
anyone else tempted to sneek into a bible printer and make a few fun changes just to mess with fundie's heads
things like
thou shall lay with man as with woman
etc
Yes, this is a good idea. BTW, God just told me to tell you to give me $10,000 and a blowjob. I even wrote it down, just like all the other inspired authors of God word did.
You better get cracking.
I talked to your god, and he told me to tell you, send all your money to me. Don't question it, don't think about it, you can't possibly comprehend God's big plan in sending all your money to me. Just do it. Don't ask questions because God is infinitely smarter than your dumb ass.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
