What good does religion offer the world today?

Yes however he reads the bible in its original languages.

That is a tough one. Should we be moderate? Or should we be hot or cold. And what of the warning that if we are lukewarm we will be spewed out of God's mouth.

Perhaps it is like Asimov's rules of robotics. There are priorities. In commandments, the first takes precedence over those that follow. That one has to be either a hot or cold thing.

Moderation rather than god burning his/her tongue or getting freeze brain...

I do like my coffee hot and my water ice cold.

I studied the Bible in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, though I do not claim to know these "ancient" languages fluently it is still the same crap in a different tongue.

The ancient languages can be studies through any exhaustive concordance of the Bible it is not only for the "elitists" who think only they know what the books says.

The English translation, in most cases, gives the true intent and meaning of the verses.

King James did decree a penalty of death to any translator who erroneously translated verse.

Sounds like you do know your bible history.

What convinced you it was crap? Just the homophobic and misogyny rants or what?

I like my decaf coffee sometimes cold sometimes hot but not cold enough to freeze me or hot enough for 3rd degree burns...

Science says the body prefers liquids at room temperature, they absorb into the body better.

"Cold water is not as good for hydration as room temperature. The theory is that the cold water causes the blood vessels surrounding stomach to shrink, slowing absorption."

When Jesus allowed a gentile woman to continue to refer to herself as "a dog" that was the final straw...

SIMPLE...when you see someone freely join a believing community you can only conclude that they see some good and that is their vote.

But you assume the opposite AND commit the logical fallacy of saying that you should tell others what is in their own good while at the same time not letting anyone tell you the same thing !!!

I do know your type thoroughly. Answer the following question : What is your view of the following

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...
....
Article 18:
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

A moderate person does not kill (murder).

But which is the definer and which the result?

He does not kill therefore he is a moderate
OR
He is a moderate and therefore he does not kill

WIthout that distinction you won't know who has acted against their beliefs. And THAT does happen

You're trying to make sense of a non sequitur.

Religion radicalizes and facilitates bigotry, hate and yes, murder.

Freedom of religion does not legitimize any particular religion.

Love in moderation equals living in moderation.

You can't negate a principle by taking it out of the realm that it applies. Yes, olive oil at cooking temperature or liquid CO2 would not be pleasant to drink.

And that is a good illustration of how living by the findings of science alone is not compatible with humans. A good red wine is ok at room temp but I can't think of anything else that is not more pleasurable when either hot or cold.

Room temperature Coke makes me want to spew...

I missed that. Where please?

What if I said pretty please?

honestly, if you had someone even more important than a son, which means for me you were gifted with a precious and rare privilege, and you gave that person up.... you should be punished and disgraced by God.... for me it´s like you made an Idol out of god... worshipping the image but not the message....
