I'm going to have a hard time at work today.
Today is two things:
-Mothers day, (Happy mothers day to all the women out there by the way! )
-church day for the carehome.
So this is why I'm going to have difficulties.
Yesterday women from the Salvation army came to sing and read scriptures out of the bible to the residents that chose to come.
So the lady is up there and she's like, " I have a scripture that pertains to our upcoming holiday, Mothers day."
So she's reading and at first I wasn't paying attention to it. But then I started listening.
As she was reading from the bible, I realized she was reading about women. Specifically mothers.
It said very plainly that a wife should serve her husband and son, and she will be loved because of it.
Her finally words were "A woman who fears god, will be praised."
Read from the bible.
And there's some other ladies behind her going, oh amen!
I want to stand up and shout at them, WHAT THE F*CK?!! You know your beautiful, powerful, and amazing enough to produce life WITHOUT FEARING YOUR GOD.
jeeeeez. It kills me that these amazing women are so blindly following a faith that tells them to shut it up, or they aren't holy.
I'm starting to have real problems with christianity.
Well, the doctorine. Not the faith I guess.

Once again, reasons why I'm having problems with catholic/ christian doctorine.

this is tribal religion at a base level. it's old school old testament, but yahweh in the old testament was tribal. he made an agreement with abraham have all your sons worship me and i'll look over you. abraham was the father of isaac, isaac was the father of jacob. jacob had twelve sons, the children of israel. those twelve tribes were who the body parts of the woman were sent to.JackRabbitSlims wrote:Hallowhim: sorry, but why is it funny?

#1, keep in mind the men initially wanted to have sex with the priest, and he offered up his concubine instead.
#2, it's not clear whether she was dead or not before the priest found her the next day. was it him that killed her to cut her up to rile the troops?
#3, you notice that they killed the benjaminites down to a controlled number, as decreed and followed, then gave them some of their women so they could repopulate. they were a fellow tribe, they could not kill them off completely.
god's got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.
a lie is a lie even if everyone believes it, the truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.

Well its to help people live better lives if not for themselves for their children. Sometimes people will not do something for themselves, but will do something for somebody they care for a lotHer_Child wrote:Sorry, but I don't love those that I fear, I feel animosity. So there ya go. Reason number 584496 why Christianity isn't for me.
I've found soooo many disturbing excerpts from the bible. You named one of them. How about:
Their children will suffer the sins of their parents....
HOW SICK IS THAT?!?!

2nd kings 2:23-25
2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. The Children of Bethel mourned by their mothers
(Laurent de La Hire, 1653)
2:25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
i think its kinda f*cked up that god sent 2 bears to slaughter 42 kids just for making fun of elisha's lack of hair. just my opinion...

To "Go Up" in this instance means to die; to ascend to the next world or Borderlands. Hence the bears were sent to protect him from this gang of killers. So, it was an act of defense of an innocent-Elisha.
