So its the religion's fault that some people are filled with hatered and use religion and God as an excuse to harm other people?? What religious book is teaching that??? Almost all religious books (christain, jewish) have the same message of peace and love, its just that some people ignore that and choose to look at the fundmentalists and nut jobs that use religion as an excuse and then by some miracle think that all religious people are like that. And im sorry for all those gay people that got killed but i know for sure that God desnt hate them and that religion didnt killed them, but people.

Have you read the old testament?!?
That God is all for smiting. Stoning is generally his preferred punishment. Adultery? Stone 'em. Disobedient children? Stone 'em. Homosexuality? Stone 'em.
This book is what is generally used to justify discrimination against homosexuality in all of the Abrahamic religions - including Christainity and Judaism.

Old Testament was before Jesus came to earth to set things straight...i dont need to say anything else. New Testament is much more important, since why its called ''New'', because of the new moral teachings that are are still ''vaild'' today (until we get Newer Testament) That doesnt mean that Old Testament is completly irrelevant of course.
And those people who got killed under God's command deserved their faith (Soddom and Gommorah, for example).

Did they really deserve to die?
Did Onan deserve to die because he didn't like serial monogamy?
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onan

Serial monogamy means marrying your brother's widow. Any child you have with your brother's widow is considered a child of your deceased brother. Onan refused to have children that would not be considered his own. That was no reason to be killed.
"no, they didnt. Sodom and Gommorah did. If you cant find a diffrence between gettining killed becuase you're a woman who mixes plants to cure people and getting killed for sodomy, lust and slavery than i suggest you shouldnt become a judge in the court of law"
This reply wasn't directed at me, but I personally don't find "sodomy" and "lust" justifiable reasons to kill anyone. Hope I never meet a judge that thinks like you.
|
in my opinion, Lust and Sodomy arent justifiable reasons to kill anyone, but city where rape, slavery,selling people like they are merchandise, lust and sodomy are allowed should definitely be destoyed
|
So you do believe that "lust" and "sodomy" are legitimate reasons to kill anyone?
Haven't you ever lusted after anybody? Haven't you ever had anal sex? If the answer to one or both those questions is "yes", than please sir behave according to you beleifs and punish yourself appropriately.
|
funny how you ignore the big reasons why Soddom and Gommorah were destroyed and focus on the minor ones, lol
|
The fact that those "minor reasons" are reasons at all is outrageous. And even the "big reasons" aren't reason enough to massacre people. If "slavery" and "selling people like they are merchandise" are valid reasons to commin massive genocide, than God forgot to destroy post Cvil War America.

In Matthew 10:1-15, cf. Luke 10:1-12, Jesus declares certain cities more damnable than Sodom and Gomorrah, due to their response to Jesus' disciples, in the light of greater grace (RSV):
"And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town."
