Hard to have a discussion when they trot out the old "because the Bible says so and that's that" argument. Ranks right up there with "nee ninny boo boo" in my book and pretty close to as powerful as box cutters.
However devinely inspired, the words in the Bible - as in all holy books - and all the limitations, slanted perspectives and prejudicial self serving rules, were put down by highly fallible men. If we are to believe every word in the Bible as literal, then in no way can we believe that the God of the Bible is all powerful, all knowing perfection and love - because that God, again as put forth by men, is one twisted dude.
Obviously, I don't believe "everything" the Bible says - and certainly not the many generations later, revised, reinterpreted Bibles we have today. One can believe in the message without ascribing infallibility to every word, phrase and punctuation mark which was put down by men who were limited to their knowledge and codes of the day as well as influenced by their agenda to make themselves a chosen people and men the masters of women who were not even considered to be full people (and weren't counted in censuses).
Was one group of people, a tiny group at that, given dominion and superiority over all others? I don't think so. Neither do I believe that a truly just God would make women second classe to men - but then much of the Bible is borrowed from other earlier religions and peoples and re-interpreted to fit the agenda and codes of those who wrote it. And insofar as man being given dominion over all other life and property of the entire earth, well I would say "stewardship" is a better choice of words.
Hey - do you still have any bluebonnets down your way? There are plenty here, but the mild winter and recent rains caused the grassy vegetation to grow so high that many of the bluebonnets are mostly or just about totally hidden. In some places though, they are pretty spectacular.
I am just hoping that the record high temperatures for March (actually for the first three months of the year) are not harbingers of another horrific heat wave (and drought) like we had last year. That was just brutal.
they're all over the place still knee-deep at the V-cult compound. We're in trouble though, I've researched historical wind patterns and concluded that the stream that normally comes down from canada thru colorado and into west texas near big spring / midland has shifted in the past 7 years towards the east and presently hits on average just east of dallas. To me this means the predominant weather for most of texas will be from the south as usual, and from the west off the cali coast coming across. This year's drought will be as bad or worse than last years unless that pattern changes but indications are that its trend is still eastward for the canadian northerner. damn
Quite a few over the years, most of them wouldn't smash some guy in the face with a rifle-butt for no reason, at least not since 1945.
Anyway, that looked unprovoked, and then he claims the Danish guy broke his finger? Well maybe his finger broke when he smashed him in the face? He really should learn how to do it safely and not get his pinky broken while smashing some guy with a rifle-butt. Seems like the IDF training is getting sloppy.
