god's split personalities

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

the problem is that people carry things off in God's name. the reason that the kamikaze bombers are doing those things isn't directly from God. it's just like the crusades when the leaders of it justified their war and gained followers by putting it in God's name. God didn't tell all those people to fight, it was man. same with the kamikaze bombers, they're convinced that what their doing is completly right, it's from the leaders of the groups, like osama. religion is used to mask and promote their cause.

why is it so many people know this, yet so many still continue to fall for the lies?

Where are the people from who call them Kamikaze bombers? I call them Suicide bombers. I thought everyone did. Kamikaze's are planes or pilots.

How do you know that God didn't tell them? You can't prove that he didn't. If God chooses to speak to some people, and not others; only the people he speaks to are going to know for sure. Schiznophrenics could be talking to God, or they could just have mental disorders, you never know.

Although this brings on a strange point, why do we believe the people in the bible were talking to God, or doing God's will. But if people say they are talking to God, or doing his will now, we assume they are crazy, and should be commited, or arrested?

I don't believe in God, so I'm not worried about it, but for those that do, think about it.

I've heard that it's because all the Bible Stories match up, or something like that.

That's what has always blown me away about the Bible. Why hasn't there been a Bible II?

You know, Part Two.

Or should I say Part Three. The Neo-Testament.

They match up to what?

I don't know, they tie together. I'm gonna find out a lot about The Bible and who really was this Jesus Guy, tonight. I'm going to see a friend who knows a lot of shit.

kamikaze bombers, suicide bombers...same difference. exactly, amy. man is God's interpreter. man reads from bible, interprets a meaning from a collection of words and spreads that meaning into other peoples minds - and calls it the word of God. i guess the whole point here would be to read the bible and try to develop your own interpretation, because surely no one will be wrong.

exactly. and i think that as you develop your own intelligent interpretation you find the right point.
