Should we handle victory the way the Christian god decrees?

The Last Super, of coarse.

Good one, Frank. I'm also waiting for these christians to show from the bible where god shows his love. They seem to quote verses that has nothing to do with your question. LOL

And after they do that...I wish one or two of them would answer the theme question of this thread:

When we are victorious over an adversary...should we slaughter all the men of the vanquished nation as the good, kind, compassionate, humanity loving god of the Bible directs?

That has been answered ad nauseum but you refuse to accept any answer other than whatever it is you have concocted in your mind.

It's a spiritual thing - you wouldn't understand...

The god Jesus worshipped...the god of the Bible...is not even on the scene...so this dosn't work at all.

It is logical thing...you wouldn't understand.

Yeah...I can offer several thousand quotes of people talking about how wonderful and loving the god is. The Bible is full of 'em. Just like the people here are full of 'em.

But I've yet to see any offered where the god of the Bible is actually being kind, compassionate or loving of humanity...and is not threatening, killing, asking others to kill or punishing.

How about furnishing one of them?

Ad Nauseum???

There has been, to my memory, one attempt...a contrived, illogical attempt to "answer" it...but certainly it has not been answered ad nauseum. (Perhaps you meant "nauseatingly.")

It actually requires only a "YES" or a "NO."

So...why not do it here again...if you have before, Intrepid.

Should we follow your god's command to slaughter every last male in a vanquished enemy's country and enslave all their women and children...or not?

Gee, god even demands his name must be used over that of the husband. What kind of kockamaime demand is that? What would have been the penalty if Abraham chose not to use "Sarah?" Death or burn in hell for eternity?

Lemme ask you something there, oh logical bwana...

Do you think there is any such thing as a spirit?

And no I'm not talking about what you imbibe in at your local bar.

I mean, do you ever wonder about anything anymore, or is everything in your world defined by what you can or can't prove with deduction and science?

Do you ever think there is something that animates life that does not die?

When did you become so devoid of wonder?

Would it be a less than 'manly' thing for you - to open yourself to the possibility that there may be a spiritual realm?

Let's start with one example, since you haven't been able to find any yourself. I can give them one after the other, but I will start with this one for now.

Gen. 17:15-16

15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

16 "I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

Gen. 21:1-2

1 Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised.

2 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.


Let me know when you are ready for more examples, the Bible is full of them.

Intrepid, Your skill is not spelling.

Your question suffers from the fallacy of the complex question (i.e. a "loaded" question), in that it assumes something (that God has commanded us to slaughter every last male in a vanquished country), and then proceeds to ask whether we should obey it or not, without first justifying the assumption itself.

It is much like me asking you whether you still beat your wife.

Your question is fallacious, Frank, and therefore does not require an answer until such time as you have justified the unsupported assumption.

Have a ball.

These religionists think they can make us go on a goose chase all over a2k to find "their answer." ROFLMAO These guys are really good at trying to make us work for answers they don't provide.

They even describe a "yes" or "no" answer as "that has been answered ad nauseum." yuk yuk yuk....that's what happens when they put their faith in a comic book that can't defend itself.

Everything is a us and them mentality with you. They, they, they. Why don't you get out from behind Frank's skirt tails and have an original thought instead of following him around like a little puppy dog looking for a bone? These guys? Everything is confontational with you. It is easy to hide behind a keyboard and spew nasty comments about people that you would cower in front of in real life.

I don't do cowering. Stop projecting.

I've stated often on a2k that my English skills were weak. So what's your point? Repeating what I've said myself tells me what, exactly?

You really should get your eyes checked, Frank. I was responding to C.I., not you.
