But talking about how violent God is in the bible is very relevant since its a very common misconception that God has only done good deeds. Which clearly isn't accurate, especially in the context of the old testament. But if the Old Testament wasn't useful and relevant for Christians, then why keep it in the bible? |
That would be a legitimate reason to mention that in the thread, but that is not the context in which MJ was speaking.
@ your final question: haha, are you serious? Like, asking for realz? It's RELIGION, man. You don't just update the firmware and throw the old shit away. I mean really, Jesus explicitly invalidated most of the old laws and junk but Christians still keep it around. Let alone the idea of throwing out stuff just because it's not currently "relevant".

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
