    Jesus also preached hate and war. He never gave anyone anything and when he had the opportunity to do so he refused. He saw nothing wrong with gouging Gentiles with high interest rates.

    Mmm uh i don't know... it could also be that his words were later adjusted to justify high taxes and contributions to the catholic church, it's impossible to know what exactly he was thinking. We are talking about a man who lived 2000 years ago after all.

    Well.....the emperor Constantine initiated the Catholic church in about 350AD. It sure has worked well for them too. It took a lot of widow's mites to collect the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of property, fine art, silver, gold, etc.

    Part of the Fourth Commandment says that "none shall appear before Me empty-handed." = Exodus 34:20.

    Why did the invisible sky deity need human stuff?

    To build human things!

    Right now the churches in the world own more real property than any other entity on the planet except the governments. At the same time over 900,000,000 are suffering from the effects of malnutrition. More than 12,000 children die each day. The 85 richest people on the planet own more wealth than the poorest 3,500,000,000.

    Here in America everybody has their panties in a knot over one death from the Ebola virus. The nuts even want to isolate us from the rest of the world and put them in quarantine. Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I read the bible....the new testament no less than ten times and that's sure not what I thought the message to the believing Christians was.... "love thy neighbor" and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" comes to mind.

    Well i don't know if that's the meaning but anyway...

    WAsn't it the other way around " don't do unto others what you wouldn't have them do unto you ".

    Luke 6:
    30"Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you. 32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.…

    Matthew 7:
    12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets"

    When Jesus said to "love thy neighbor" and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" he was talking to the Jews. They didn't have Gentile neighbors. As Jesus said, he was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

    They don't have to believe it as long as the Gentiles believe it.

    I am of the opinion that we already know how to prevent ebola and HIV from spreading. We even know how to boost the human immune system so that we are less susceptible to it.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/gay-l...le-assisting-humans-live-hundred-healthy.html
    Gay Community may play role in assisting humans to live to a hundred and be healthy!
    Has the Gay Community been the victim of a holocaust caused by misinformation and ignorance and cowardice the officials who should have made us aware of how adding eighty or ninety trace minerals to fertilizer could greatly improve the human immune system and perhaps significantly reduce the incidence of HIV in all nations??????

    If Dr. Leo Rebello's theory is eventually proven to be accurate......a revolution of sorts will be under way!!??
