God invented morality with his ten commandments. Without his gift you would have no context in which to judge him. But I have reviewed your past threads and I see you have a fixation with Jews. I don't believe you are really critiquing God in this thread. I believe that is a mask you are wearing. Your ulterior motives are clear, like a primal ooze leaking from your pores. Your hatred is nothing new, nor original. You are a sick child wandering in the desert. God bless.

What is so great about the 10 commandments anyway? The last 6 are basic moral beliefs and the first 4 are basically bow down to me, the arrogant war God commandments.
You hick.

Im not under the impression he is, no.
Please keep posting. You sound so reasonable and your way of life has brought you much peace, I see. Im not surprised only one person has reacted negatively to you, after all, the only time people are offended is if someone posts anything pro-************.
Of course by saying there is no God in the hysterical, angry way, you are, it covers a lot more than just me and Evangelical Christians. So I dont take any of this personally.
Go on, id like to hear more from you.
PatsFanInVa said:My view of this thread is that it honestly attacks the bible -- primarily the Hebrew bible -- on the basis of what a modern liberal must call its "darker" side. Like 3toB's perversions, I will not engage in public debate regarding a book I honor, "warts and all," as having significance in my life.
He seems to be anti-bible, as opposed to anti-semitic. In fact, he's not "called out" Jews at all, although he's drawn his fodder from the Hebrew bible rather than the Greek. I don't appreciate the attack tone either, but I cannot say I have not asked these questions as well.
In fact, these questions for a time pushed me away from my faith; they are the much more potent challenge to the modern Jew than is Christianity. For my part, however, I do not find the stories of the conquest of the land to disqualify the entirety of Judaism; the growth of the religion since that time, with the richness of its interpretive tradition, has made the most of the fruits of that very ancient time. But to any honest mind in the present age, these questions are absolutely valid.
I'm not concerned with anyone else's soul, except that I not "damage" any more than necessary in my own life. I don't think we need "saving" from anything. And I do say, in my own world, it seems better that a man not believe, than that he believe blindly.
In my own world of course, Grogan, you are wrong -- and I personally refuse to argue the Hebrew bible with you, for the reasons I prefer not to argue it publically against Christians. It does seem you've discounted its entirety based on its bloodier passages, and I have reason to find a redeeming richness even within those passages, in other passages, in the whole of the canon, and in the evolution of the religion since that time. It is what it is.
Not to wrestle with these questions, for a believer, is cowardice or dishonesty. To wrestle with these and other questions is so deeply engrained for the Jew, that the Jewish people are also called Y'Israel, "Wrestles with God." I'll not make that struggle a public process; but even for the man who loses the struggle, I have to give him credit for questioning.
Triumphalism is the bluster meant to convince the rest of us, that a man asks no such questions. Or perhaps it is to convince the triumphalist himself.
