Jesus also trashed the old "eye for eye". The bottom line is this- If God thought the Old T was all we needed, why did he send Jesus to give us the NEW T?..
doesnt even hold a candle to the money put into greedy money based secular atheist wars, and would save a lot of lives too. think about that.
Jesus needs some minions to throw the people who don't follow him into the fire. John 15:6 (KJV) = "6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."
Jesus wants BUDDIES!- "You're my friends if you follow me. I don't call you servants, but I call you friends"- (John 15:15) The bottom line is he was an alright guy, so anybody who don't like him can't be let through the pearlies or it'd be a case of "oops there goes the neighbourhood"..
All through man's history, man has seeked out a god. And it will never change. Wars have been fought over religion, and still are. It will never change. The only 10 commandment atheists disagree with, is the one that says, "Thou shall not worship any other god's before me". What I'm getting at, is the power and message behind the words. If man is always going to have a God to worship, and no man can argue against the 10 commandments, accept the one being discussed. Then it's safe to say, that every man worshiping the same God, is in the best benefit of man. God knew this. Thus, "Thou shall not worship any other god's before me". When it comes to the other nine commandments, it's obvious what God is true. For if they were taught and followed at our best ability, life would be so much greater, and hold so much more meaning.
A witch on a chat board once said she was going to invoke the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet to come and deal with me. I put the kettle on but she never turned up! Hey guys, don't you just hate getting stood up by goddesses? Mind you, after seeing her picture (below) I wouldn't have known whether to tickle her chin or offer her a saucer of milk-
