Even the Rig Vedas say "Supreme Being", and I can accept that designation. The Rig Vedas pre-Hinduism mention the Supreme Being, and Hindus today still believe in the Supreme Being.
If you tell me The Supreme Being, then I know what you are talking about. Some Christians don't know that.

Could you maybe elaborate on how I slipped up? It would help if you explained how Instead of just saying I did. What did I miss exactly?
How is the shedding of blood proof of the consummation of marriage warm? You said that it was, so how? You're the one who brought up the shedding of blood as proof, not me. Stop projecting your Freudian slips onto me.edit on 22-11-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

Yes. As do I.
The Bible is a later model of the same concept, but couched in shame, terror, mass-murder, and THE NEED FOR PEOPLE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO BELIEVE. Written by politicians (whether clergy or not - they were STILL politicians).

Yes, some Christians don't know that.
Thank you for your sincere efforts to dispel nonsense stated in the name of "Christianity."
They won't listen to me, but they MIGHT listen to you.
:thumb up:
That, or condemn you to hell for blasphemy.
They won't listen to me, but as long as they have faith, then why not let them have it, as long as they don't chop heads off people. After all, people have had faith in a lot of other crazy things.

I wrote a thread on the subject of blood as a means of remission of sins... And didn't get an answer
Even some of our most astute members did not have an answer...
How does blood save?
Why does the OT God demand the blood of the innocent?
Perhaps you might have the answer

Probably because that blood has been diverted into the womb in order to help the newly formed fetus' growth.
No life, no blood flow, no marriage. Marriage is a human tradition based on an esoteric truth, it is a construct of man in order to veil the true meaning of marriage. Have you ever seen animals getting married? No, because the tradition is purely religious and a human construct.

Christian doctrine is much more effective at controlling the masses because it teaches to turn the other cheek and to love your enemies, and the government has always been the enemy of the people.
It also teaches that as long as you wait and submit to the authorities, Jesus will come back and fix everything for you, so just sit on your hands and wait all while submitting to the authorities as they destroy the planet.
Sounds like an ad campaign for those in power if you ask me. They get to profit off of destruction and suffering while the people sit and wait for a savior (of TPTB's own making) to come and fix it for them. Jesus is not going to come back, we see where the belief he will has gotten us today.
And having one god is a lot easier to manage than a whole pantheon of them.

We have submitted to authority for over 2,000 years now and even longer. Guess what that submission has given the authorities the ability to do? WHATEVER THEY WANT. Tell me how Christianity and its teachings haven't helped to destroy the planet.
And exactly, why WOULD those In power let their plan be expose some 2,000 years ago without squashing it and sweeping it under the rug? You should be asking yourself that question, not me.
The reason is because that is part of their plan. "Submit to us now and let us do whatever we want while we tell you that God will come to fix it sometime in the future". Yeah, makes perfect sense for someone who wants to keep us complacent while they destroy the planet for their own profit.
The answer is right there, they fabricated the second coming so that they could do whatever they wanted for thousands of years until everything is bled dry. It's so obvious.
