Just a few contradictions in your bible

I think you quoted the wrong post, I do not believe we are all sons of god. I believe That no god should be held in higher esteem to ourselves, than ourselves.

Someone would lead I am sure, but that would not make them a higher god.

Your refrence is like saying the Priest is better than you.

I am saying any organization needs leadership regardless of the qualities of the leader. Better worse or in between.
Someone has to decide. Someone has to be more powerful.

"One of you sets himself up as an atheist/wiccan/sataist. The other sets himself up as a person who reads the Bible and interprets it as though he believes in The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; and Father of Christ Jesus. In reality, you both believe the same and have an agenda to mislead others into doubt and confusion. "

My purpose in life is to mislead people? Lmao, you have mislead yourselves with that book you all hold so dear.

OH my, the conspirance of ME to over through religion on a political blog board entitled conflicting views has just been discovered, I must run and hide.

Vol I repsect your beliefs, as nieve and ignorant as I believe them to be, they demand respect that you will not bend.

But this last comment, was truly ignorant and made you look like a fool, I suggest you delete it if you expect your words to carry any weight with anyone else (Inccluding your fellow thumpers).

Exactly. Leadership is always a requirement.

Motives of the leader are more important than the leadership itself. There are different types of leaders. The situational leader leads according to the needs of the organization and circumstance. He/she uses his/her value structure to achieve the aims of the organization. If a person in that organization is working at cross-purposes, that person should be corrected, and if the correction does not taek, expelled from the organization.

Can there be more than one leader in an organization if both leaders are working to different and mutually incompatible goials?

Is the view of those being led important to the credibility of the leader? At what point does this view impact the ability of the leader to lead from position vice earned authority? Do followers owe a leader positional authority?

Gonna Cry,

Dude, will you please state clearly what it is you believe? No offense, but you're speaking in sound-bytes that just don't serve you well here. What do you believe?

Exactly. Leadership is always a requirement.

Sum up your belief-system regarding a higher power. Yes, no, what?

What does respect mean to you?

But that does not mean an elected Leader is more powerful or better.

The problem with literal reading is that the Bible shows God as a bungler who can't get anything right. Heaven is screwed up even before the earth is created. He screws up the first man and woman and instead of a quick reboot to start over, He waits till later and kills millions in a flood instead
of two in the beginning.
God the Law maker also breaks His own Law of killing men.

God is Perfect and does only Perfect works.
If your reading does not bring you to this conclusion then you are not reading it correctly.
God must be a winner, not a looser.

I am a non believer but I am well aware of most aspects of the bible ( a few elude me) When a major "religious event" takes place that was prophisized in the bible the people who believe such things throughout history have become more docile and easily conquered, the one that comes immediately to mind is pizzaro conquering the (aztecs right) HE appeared from the sea his hair was light in clour and he had blue eyes, just like th Aztec histories prophesized their god would appear.
